I'm a professional typesetter and I really need to use Acrobat Reader DC on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I installed it via playonlinux. I call it by command line with:

playonlinux --run Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC mypdffile.pdf

My question is: can I make Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome open a pdf file with Acrobat Reader installed via playonlinux? On Firefox I can choose a default reader but I'm not able to see Acrobat Reader in my options.

(I know I can download the pdf file and open it with the reader... but this is very annoying)

I solved (actually a friend of mine solved it) by creating a script (I named it AcrobatDC):

#!/bin/bash
playonlinux --run "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" $1

Then I told Firefox to open PDF files with my script in Firefox's preferences:
