How to Make Edge Open PDF in Adobe?

Published in PDF Management 1 min read

To make Microsoft Edge open PDFs in Adobe Acrobat by default, configure the Adobe Acrobat extension within Edge.

Here's how:

  1. Launch Microsoft Edge.
  2. Access Extensions: Click on the Extensions menu icon (usually a puzzle piece icon) in the Edge toolbar.
  3. Find Adobe Acrobat: Locate the Adobe Acrobat extension in the extensions list.
  4. Open Extension Options: Click the Options menu (represented by three dots "...") for the Adobe Acrobat extension, and then select "Extension Options."
  5. Set Default PDF Viewer: On the Adobe Acrobat options page, find the setting that allows you to make Acrobat the default PDF viewer in Edge. It usually involves a toggle button or a checkbox. Enable this option.
  6. Save Preferences: Click "Save preferences" or a similar button to apply the changes.

Now, when you click on a PDF file in Edge, it should automatically open in Adobe Acrobat instead of the built-in Edge PDF viewer.
