Hi there good people.
I want to create proper Pdf files and not Opera links. I downloaded Cute Pdf and also right click and used to 'Save as a Pdf, but they both now create Opera links. I even downloaded Firefox with an add on but it's still the same. I did turn off in the settings page authority for Opera to do this, but it still created Opera links even when it's not the default search engine. I was thinking of getting rid of Opera completely to achieve it.
Can anyone suggest anything please?
I'm running Windows 7 on a Lenovo G575 (64bits) and Opera is up to date.
Many thanks good people!

I appreciate you taking your time to explain. When I tried to attach a couple to email to someone here in the UK, they wouldn't open, hence wanting 'normal' Pdf files. Also, when I did one from the UK Government website, I had to log into my account again on the Government website here.
Many thanks if you have any info one helping me save them in the way I wish to.

Just a couple of quick questions in addition:-
1). Are these Pdf's which are set to open in Opera retained on my computer please or on a server somewhere else please?
2). I've tried turning it off so that I get the 'old' Pdf but it wont work. Any way of resolving that please?

@redheadguy10 1) It depends on where you saved them. They are set to open in Opera probably because Opera was set as the default PDF viewer.

@redheadguy10 2) What do you call old PDF?
What are you trying to do?

I have 2 options for creating Pdf files:-
1). Use Cute Pdf which I downloaded onto my computer
or
2). Right click on a Word File or web page and use 'Save to Pdf'Both of these used to give me the Adobe rectangular file stored on my computer with their logo.
Now, I have what seems like links of some kind with the Opera logo.
I want the Adobe rectangular file which I know is on my computer and not an Opera link to a file (perhaps) stored on a server somewhere.
Many thanks.

@redheadguy10 Then you need to set Adobe as the PDF viewer in your system.

Thank you - EVER so much !! I sincerely appreciate you help and assistance. Although to you this may be simple, the solution was, for me, like finding the end of the shortest piece of spaghetti in a dish!
Many kind thanks indeed, have a great day! -

@redheadguy10 Easiest way: Check if you can do it from inside Adobe.
Not so easy way: Go to Windows settings/Control panel > Programs > Default Programs > Choose programs by file type.
