How to choose between Adobe or Edge to open PDF downloaded from external source?

I need guidance on how to open PDFs which are Product User Manuals and Engineering Drawings with least security risk.

However, antivirus (up to date and active) is insufficient according to advice from following website: avoid unknown sender; ensure PDF is not executable

How to decide whether Edge Browser or Adobe is safer to open Product User Manuals and Engineering Drawings when they do not contain multi-media nor animations?

Please correct me if wrong, I prefer Adobe for its following features not explicitly shown on Edge
Sandbox Protection
– Enabled Protected Mode at Startup
– Run in AppContainer
—Protected View Enabled for Files from potentially unsafe locations
—Enhanced Security Enabled
