How to open PDFs in Acrobat automatically from MS Edge?
In a previous browser, when I clicked on a link that was to a PDF file, the file opened automatically in Acrobat. That was what I wanted, until MS forced using Edge.
How do I get this same behavior in Edge?
I looked thru the Edge settings, and in Cookies and site permissions there is PDF documents. Here are my settings for that:
The obvious choice of Open with the default program for PDF files is missing. I checked, and I do have Acrobat set up as the default. When I type the name of a PDF file on a command line, it gets opened in Acrobat as intended. I'm used to all the tools and the interface of Acrobat, and don't want to look at PDF files using Edge's viewer. It doesn't work the same as Acrobat, and isn't as powerful.
Edge says it is "Version 132.0.2957.115 (Official build) (64-bit)". The OS is Windows 10 Pro.
