Configure Adobe Acrobat as default PDF viewer in Microsoft Teams

Get Adobe PDF experience in Microsoft Teams 

As a Microsoft Teams admin, you can set up an installation policy from the MS Teams Admin Center. You can provide the necessary permissions for Adobe Acrobat to be the default app for viewing and editing PDFs. All PDF files within the Chat, Channels, and Files app will open directly in the Acrobat app within Teams once Acrobat is set as default. Tenant users don't require an Adobe Acrobat subscription or an Adobe ID to view PDFs, comment or annotate PDFs, and to bookmark, or search PDFs. However, to Organize, Combine, Export, Compress, or Protect a PDF, the tenant users must be signed in with an Adobe Acrobat subscription.
