    How to keep Lumin from taking control from Phantom PDF

    I use Google Chrome for my browser in Windows 10. Phantom pdf is my system default for all pdf files. Except that Google Docs and Chrome seem to only recognize Lumin. I hate any program that takes control of my computer. I've gone to settings and don't see Lumin mentioned anywhere in either Chrome or Docs. I don't find it in my app list. I don't find it in Chrome extensions.

    Foxit still works from explorer. I don't use any MS browser so don't know if that's affected.

    So how is Lumin able to take control when I've explicitly said I want Phantom pdf? I've never knowingly downloaded Lumin and assume it comes with updates to Chrome or ?.

    And how can I get rid of Lumin and get my entire system to see Phantom and/or a Foxit viewer to be recognized as my choice of app for use on my machine?

    Thanks for any help

    Foxit PDF Technology Chosen for Google Open-Source
    http://blog.foxitsoftware.com/foxit-pdf-technology-chosen-for-google-open-source/
    Google is responsible for some of the most important open source projects of our time. Chromium, the Google Web Toolkit and Android are just a few names that are synonymous with a company that began as an Internet search engine. While there are many other names on that list, one newer project shows enough promise to earn itself a spot on the list with the best of them; and that project is known as PDFium. PDFium provides developers the opportunity to leverage a standards-compliant and high performance PDF open-source software library to view, search, print, and form fill PDF documents and PDF forms. And Google has turned to Foxit’s PDF technology to supply the open source PDF rendering engine for this project.  Developers can use PDFium to deliver content via PDF files to users regardless of their computing platform or device. According to Eugene Xiong, Founder and Chairman of the […]
