Change default PDF viewer

How can the default PDF viewer that a container field uses be changed?

 

For instance, we have a user with the following specs who needs the container fields to use her preferred PDF viewer, NitroPDF but it uses Adobe.  

 

Her system specs:

 

- Windows 8

- Filemaker Pro 13

- system's default browser, Firefox

- computer's default PDF viewer, Nitro

- disabled Acrobat plugin in Firefox

 

How can we get her FileMaker container fields to use Nitro, her preferred PDF viewer?

 

 

I don't believe this is possible on Windows. It doesn't matter what default browser is being used FileMaker is using the IE engine for web viewers, and most likely a  licensed imbeded version of Adobe Reader for internet explorer.
