Steps to Set Adobe Acrobat as the Default PDF Viewer in Edge:

  1. Launch Microsoft Edge.
  2. Access Extensions: Locate the Extensions menu. It typically appears as a puzzle piece icon in the Edge toolbar.
  3. Find Adobe Acrobat: In the Extensions menu, find the Adobe Acrobat extension.
  4. Open Extension Options: Click the Options menu (usually represented by three dots "...") for the Adobe Acrobat extension. Then select "Extension Options".
  5. Set as Default: On the Adobe Acrobat options page, find the toggle switch/button that controls whether Acrobat is the default PDF viewer in Edge. Click it to enable Acrobat as the default.
  6. Save Preferences: Confirm your selection by clicking a "Save preferences" button, if available. Some implementations might auto-save.

Explanation: Following these steps will ensure that when you open a PDF file in Edge, it automatically opens and displays using the Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer extension. This allows you to utilize Adobe Acrobat's features directly within the Edge browser.
