The post SharePoint 2013 Opening PDF in Office Web App first appeared on WAHOOGA.]]> One of my colleagues wanted to change the behavior of SharePoint 2013 so that viewing a PDF in a document library on a mobile device opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader rather than the Word Office Web App.

A post on the Office IT Pro blog (link) indicated that this was possible and just required us to run:

Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF" | Remove-SPWopiBinding -Confirm:$false

Unfortunately this didn’t work for us and when I ran 

Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF"
  nothing was returned. Further investigation reveals that the MobileView action was removed from SharePoint 2013 in the October 2013 Cummulative Update[1].

Looks like changing the default behavior is going to be for all devices but I will update this post if I find out anymore.
