How to change PDF Viewer in OneDrive for Android?

Question

Hi,

I have OneDrive on PC Windows and on Android phone and tablet.
In PC windows, I can set Adobe Acrobate Reader as default PDF Viewer.
When trying to open a PDF file in Onedrive on Android, always the standard PDF viewer will open. I cannot succed in changing this behavior and make Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF file.

I can launch Acrobat Reader and open the file from inside the Onedrive folders, but the annoted file is not saved again in the Onedrive folder. I have to mail a copy and then save it form PC inside OneDrive folder.

If the PDF file is modified with the standard PDF viewer on Onedrive the annotation is there when the same file is open on PC.

How I can "tell" OneDrive Android to use Acroba Reader to handle PDF files?
Or, how I can sync easily the changed/annoted PDF in Android with OneDrive?

Thanks, Lauro
