We're using Windchill 10.1 M040 currently but are hoping to go to Windchill 11 later this year if there's a solution in a later version of Windchill. Creo View works pretty well for 3D but has no real use when looking at PDFs. I have seen no advantage to opening PDF's in Creo View yet with disadvantages including having less screen space to view the drawing and software compatibility issues. I'd like to get out of the annoying compatibility cycle and just open the PDF directly without Creo View.

This has happened twice in the last year and packaging software through our IT can take several weeks/months. Then we're left updating Creo View to work with the latest until Acrobat Reader gets updated again. Creo View works pretty well for 3D but has no real use when looking at PDFs. Is there any way to open PDF's directly into a PDF viewer (like Adobe/Acrobat Reader) instead of Creo View when using the Windchill search results? Creo View opens the PDF with Acrobat Reader embedded within Creo View which has caused software compatibility issues as Acrobat Reader continues to be updated.
