    I want to open the file from Teams direclty in my local adobe reader in order for me to sign directly without dowanloading the file. Like MS Office application was available once you right click the document.

    Currently the Option available to Open the PDF Files are as below:-

     

    1. Open the PDF File within the Teams Application,

    2. Download the File and then we can open the File in the Adobe Reader

     

    That is how currently we are able to open the PDF Documents by default feature of Microsoft Teams. Below is the uservoice feature already requested by multiple people you too can vote for the same

      When does Microsoft plan to fix this bug?  Any other application would open the document in a new window or tab and allow me to continue in the meeting rather than take over the application to open a document.
