No idea for Mac or Unix.

On Windows, you can edit the "File type" for "Adobe Acrobat Document" (extension PDF). This should solve opening PDFs by
double-click or from other programs except when viewing them on-line in the browser's window. The "File types" tab can
be found in "My Computer" under "View"/ "Options", "View"/ "Folder Options", "Tools"/ "Options" or "Tools"/ "Folder
Options" (spelling and placement depends on the Windows version). Shift+right click/ "Open with..."/ browse for Acrobat
Reader and check "Always use ..." should work too. The first method is better because it allows you to define 2 separate
actions, one for "View" (or "Open") to open the PDF in Reader, and one for "Edit" to open it in Acrobat (full version),
in case you need to make changes to the PDF.
