PDF files is displayed in the preview

I can't view a PDF on Preview 8.1 I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader DC today.  He gave me an option to use the Cloud or preview as the default location for the display.  He recommended the cloud as a default location, but I chose the option preview instead.

When I was unable to display preview 8.1, I checked iMac updates to see if there was a newer version of the preview that I didn't have to install.  The answer was "no update".

So I went to the Apple Store to find an Adobe Reader App.  Only Adobe applications, I found in the Apple Store, ask the subscription.

Later, I learned that I can open the PDF from Adobe's Web site.  So I renamed the file I tried see and saved on my computer.  Then I tried to view the newly created file in the preview.   I know that the file is there, because the text, albeit unreadable, appears in the toolbar of miniatures.

Please tell me if I have to choose 'Cloud' to view all PDF files in the future.  Also, if Mac preview is not a valid location for viewing, why Adobe included it as a second, though not preferred, default location for display?

Perform a backup.

Leave the preview.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder. Delete the following text. You won't find all. Restart and test.

Containers/com.apple.Preview

Containers/com. Apple.QuickLook.UI.Helper

Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist

Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist

State/com.apple.Preview.savedState request registered
