Does anyone know how to get PDF documents stored in SharePoint Online to open in Adobe Pro app?

I've gone through Adobe's convoluted process to integrate Microsoft 365 and Adobe: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/o365pdf/start.html
But it still opens the PDF in the browser - just uses Document Clound instead of the native browser support.
My users really want to be able to edit PDF docs stored in SharePoint without having to:
1. Download the PDF doc locally.
2. Edit the doc in the Adobe Pro desktop app.
3. Upload the doc back to (hopefully) the same place in SharePoint.

Hi,

Would it not make sense to use Sync, as I think that was pretty much what is was intended for : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/map-a-network-drive-to-a-sharepoint-library-751148de-f579...

That answer doesn't scale. We have several hundred-thousand documents stored in SharePoint spread over dozens of sites and document libraries.
We'd have to have everyone map every document library as a separate drive - run out of drive letters really fast and syncing actually copies the documents to their device.
We don't have any workstations with 5 TB of storage.

Hi,

I thought this bit would work as it does not require any drive to be mounted or any files to be copied.

Quotes from below in case the image is not readable:

"Setting up Sync in a one-time process that permanently puts file in File Explorer, without taking up storage space on your device"

it then goes on to say

I can assure you that is not true.  Add shortcut to OneDive works as described (indexing the files, but not copying them to local storage).  Sync actually copies the files locally.  I had an early user fill up his drive because he synced a very large document library.  Regardless, it still doesn't scale when there are dozens of separate document libraries.  Microsoft allows both options - open in browser and open in app.  The Adobe version of 'open in app', still opens the doc in a document cloud browser window.  Why is this so hard/impossible for Adobe to accomplish?
