Setting Acrobat Reader DC as the default PDF viewer on Windows 10 with a GPO

1. Create a AdobeReaderAssociations.xml file that’s in the Adobe Enterprise Administration Guide or create your own using DISM
2. Copy that file on a shared location. Using group policy preferences copy the XML file to the local device
3. Apply the XML file by opening up the group policy and navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer\Set a default associations configuration file
4. Select Enabled and specify the path for the XML file and click Apply
5. The corresponding registry entry is HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DefaultAssociationsConfiguration
