Go to http://adobe.com/reader to download a PDF reader then install on your computer.

Then right click the PDF files, propertise, click change in the right of open file with, choose Adobe Reader.

I　am very confused why your PDF files can be opened as PDF format. I think it is wonderful because you can edit the PDF files on Word.

First, check if you have a pdf reader. If not, you may download one.
Second set the program to open file
You may right-click the PDF file and check the default program to open file. Select Adobe reader then trick against the option always open with this program.

Hope that helps! If you have other PDF problem, please view this article for reference: http://www.anypdftools.com/...

On the document icon itself, right click, go to properties. Under the "General" tab, go to "Opens with", click on the change button, choose the Adobe program (assuming you have it), click ok, apply, ok.
