I have look at pdf files from a certain website everyday. I do NOT want to download them, as I do not need to keep them. I want them to OPEN in Adobe NOT in Edge. Every piece of info i see tells me how to download them to my pc and then open so they dont automatically open in Edge. I DO NOT want to download them. Is there a way to do this? This is a real pain in the *ss.
Opening and reading PDF files in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10

I have the same problem
The only solution I found is to set the page with IE MODE
The problem is that it has other disadvantages
Windows Default app for opening PDF's is already set as Adobe.
Both Chrome and Edge browsers are toggled OFF for always download
Yet, every time I open a PDF from online or my business system, it downloads instead of viewing.
This is a change. This is new. Worked fine forever prior to a few months ago.
Is there a resolution?
I read everything I could find online, but seemed like loops with no outcome that works.
Is there a way to have Edge open the pdf in acrobat for edge version?
