# ✅ How to Stop Microsoft Edge Opening PDFs (Make Them Open in Adobe)
By default, Microsoft Edge often opens PDF files inside the browser.
Follow these steps to make PDFs download instead, so they can open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Step-by-Step Guide (Easy Method)
1. Open Microsoft Edge
- Click the Edge icon on your computer.
2. Open Settings
- Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings
3. Search for PDF Settings
Instead of clicking through menus:
- Click in the Search settings box on the left
- Type:
PDF
This will quickly bring up the PDF options (as shown in the screenshot).
4. Turn On “Always Download PDF Files”
Under PDF documents, switch on:
✅ Always download PDF files
✅ What This Does
Once enabled:
- PDFs will no longer open inside Edge
- They will instead download automatically
- Staff and Students can then open them using Adobe Acrobat Reader
Optional Extra Step (Recommended)
To ensure Adobe opens PDFs by default:
- Right-click any PDF file
- Select Open with → Choose another app
- Choose Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Tick:
✅ Always use this app to open PDF files
✅ Finished!
Now PDFs will download and open in Adobe instead of Edge.

Naming Microsoft Teams
When creating new Microsoft Teams, please remember to use the naming convention "8827-nameofteam." This will make finding the team a lot easier and will prevent naming conflicts. Additionally, please add the account 8827-apps@schools.vic.edu.au as an owner. This way, I.T. can help with any issues that may arise.
do not name a team as follows:
VICEDU - YEAR 7 CAMP 2025
CREEK CAMP 2025
Correct Naming:
8827-Year-7-Camp-2025
8827-Creek-Camp-2025

Prepare for Zscaler
Background:
Proxies are a way to tell your computer where the internet is, provide content filtering and more.
They have been used in schools for many decades, but in ~2020 the Department of Education decided to move away from the proxy model to a direct internet service model (Zscaler). This means the responsibility of internet filtering will be moved away from school systems to the DE instead, with increased internet speed and performance.
Actions Required:
If your device has proxy settings configured manually, they will need to be removed.
After completing this action, you will have student access / filtering until after the school migrates to Zscaler.
Windows
Open the start menu. 
Search for proxy and open Proxy settings.
Ensure that automatically detect settings is set to ON.
Ensure setup script is set to OFF.
Ensure manual proxy setup is set to OFF.
Scanning To OneDrive
To use this option, you will need to perform a once-off authorization with Papercut. This authorization will come in the form of an email to your DET email address:
The scan should now appear in your OneDrive folder. under C:\Users\username\OneDrive - Warragul Regional College\Apps\Scans for PaperCut MF
