Hi,

 

So what you are asking is that PDF documents that are accessed via web URL to be handled just by the Acrobat Reader Mobile app correct?

 

It opens on tje Safari web browser because that is the default pdf handler and viewer in iOS.

 

In contrast to macOS where you can change the default pdf handler with 2 easy steps, the same seems not to be the case for your mobile device.

 

The best way to accomplish that is to manually continue to copy the URL and choosing to open it with Acrobat Reader mobile app as described in the following thread:

Now, this thread is a little bit old and things might continue to change as Apple moves forward with new features for their iOS powered devices.

 

I will continue to keep an eye on this and post back if I can find new info.
