Set AdobeReader DC as a default PDF reader for MAC in Adobe Customization Wizard

We have succeeded to make ADobeReader as a default PDF reader in Windows, but not in MAC.

We had an option (radio button), "Make Adobe the default PDF viewer",  to select  in Windows Wizard

Installation and setup — Acrobat Customization Wizard DC for Windows

However, we could not find such an option in MAC?

How can we make it in MAC?

DO yo have any script that can make it programmatically so that student's laptop are set automatically.

We need students to open PDF assignment documents in AdobeReaderDC to edit & digitally(e.g.privat-key, public key) sign them.

Thank you

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Construxor

There isn't one documented in the ETK.  However that being said, I found an interesting article on the JAMF site that discusses this topic.  It may be helpful in constructing a script that could set this via a PLIST file.
