Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the icon of the shortcut after creating it?
Yes. Right-click the newly created desktop shortcut, select 'Properties', go to the 'Web Document' tab, and click 'Change Icon'. You can browse your computer for a custom .ico file to change its appearance.
Why does the shortcut open in Edge when I want to use Chrome?
The desktop web shortcut uses your operating system's default browser. To change this behavior, you must go to your computer's system settings and change your default web browser to Chrome.
Can I create a shortcut to a specific PDF stored in Adobe Document Cloud?
Yes, if the specific PDF file has a unique, shareable web link. Simply open the document in the cloud, copy that specific URL from your browser's address bar, and use it in the shortcut creation wizard instead of the general cloud.acrobat.com link.
