I want to be able to open PDF's automatically in Acrobat Pro so I can edit them. I set the default PDF document opener as Acrobat but it only opens in Reader. I checked my Adobe Cloud app to see if maybe I didn't download the Pro version, but it says that it is. The only way I can edit documents is if I go to the online version. This is in Windows 10 Version 22H2.
Interesting!
I am thinking if the problem is related to which of the two programs is the default PDF handler in your Windows environment.
You can try and test, by going to your Documents folder and right-click on any PDF document => select "Opens with..." from the next context menu.
A list of programs or Windows apps will pop up.
Verify if Adobe Reader or Microsoft Edge web browser are the default PDF handler.
If any of those two programs are the default PDF handler, select from that context menu "Choose another app".
From the next pop up list of apps, select "Adobe Acrobat DC" and note on the bottom left corner that there is an unchecked tick box: "Always use this app to open .pdf files".
Tick or check that tick box before you click on the OK button to commit changes and make it permanent.
If you miss this step Windows will revert ro handling the default app to view and handle pdf documents.

Finally I fixed it just uninstalling the Adobe and reinstalling it again
