Edge PDF Handling
Deleted If download is finished you must click on the three dots and set "Open always with Acrobat Reader". I find that annoying too.
Because of some nasty JavaScript-PDF's we cannot use Edge's internal viewer.
Elliot Kirk thanks for coming back to me. Adobe Reader DC is already set to the default, however when clicking to open the PDF from the Downloads bar it continues to try to do it with Edge Chromium. Testing with Version 79.0.309.40 (Beta)

Thilo Langbein thank you so much for that, I didn't even think to look in the menu as I assumed it would be the same as Google Chrome. We need to use Adobe Reader in our organisation for a few reasons.
Elliot Kirk is this something we can change in InTune or GPO settings? As we've already specified we don't want Edge to handle PDFs, I don't see the reasoning behind us having to tell Edge we want Reader to open them as well. This is honestly the only improvement I want to Edge Chromium, other than this I'm ready to deploy it when it's officially released!

Currently the best option is, to set "download.open_pdf_in_adobe_reader" via master preferences file (https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/pref_names.cc?view=markup). BUT this setting is only used, if a new profile is generated.
Thilo Langbein Can you elaborate on how to do this on Edge 80.0.361.62 please?
We have this same issue in our organization as we are testing the transition from IE11 to Edge (Chromium).
