Disable Infobar: Set Microsoft Edge as the default application for reading PDF files
Gunnar-Haslinger Hi! Just wanted to pass along one workaround to remove the infobar. I've heard that other organizations have enable the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#alwaysopenpdfexternally).
The team is still discussing an enterprise policy to specifically disable the infobar and will keep you updated about that. Thanks!

Thanks Kelly_Y for pointing out the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy.
But - as described in my initial post- our needs are as follows:
User-FileType-Association of Win10-OS is configured to open "Adobe Reader" for PDF-Files, but following links to PDF-Files inside Edge should use the included Edge-PDF-rendering-Engine.
So the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally Workaround would not be our desired configuration.
