Windows 10: Remove adobe acrobat advertisement from Edge

I recently opened a PDF to make basic adjustments and was greeted with some unwanted adobe extension? I made sure there was no extension from that problematic company on my browser, but every PDF opens to some new page that is advertising Adobe's scam subscription service at me.How can I remove these dishonest advertisements for Adobe and revert back to my basic, usable PDF handling in Edge? The push to scam me into a 365 subscription is one thing, but why is Microsoft advertising scam subscriptions from other companies?
