Strongly agree. In a professional design environment, it is essential that downloaded PDFs open only in Acrobat DC, never in Edge. Among other reasons, there are nuances of typography and color settings that will probably never be cost-effective to engineer into the Edge PDF reader, yet they are essential in commercial design work.
