Please create a script to install the latest Adobe Reader 64 bit and set it as the default PDF viewer for either all users of a PC or at least the current user. Since you’d have to run the script as the system user, I’d imagine it would have to set the default PDF viewer for all users.
A script that automatically sets Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer for the currently logged on user as well would be really helpful.
Thanks,

Hi @RussKinch,
Thanks for your script request. We have asked our script developers to check and provide their feedback.
We will share the requested script here once it is ready.

Hi @RussKinch,
Our script developers were able to achieve the installation of the latest Adobe Reader 64bit which in JSON file
20200211-Install_Adobe_Reader_and_set_it_as_the_default_PDF _viewer.json
but they aren’t able to achieve “Set it as the default PDF viewer for either all users of a PC” in the script.
They have tried the following link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/ac…pdfviewer.html steps but can’t able to achieve.
They found another way to set the default pdf viewer → After installation open the adobe reader, it will show the prompt like this:
Click Yes and go through the next steps.
Note:
Tested in Windows 10.
Run as System User and Logged in User.
Kind Regards,
