I would like to be able to open PDF files using this program via the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Currently when I run xdg-open main.pdf I am getting this output:

I don't think there is any practical way at all of doing this before 1903 (currently in Insider Preview); are you running that? If not there's no viable xdg-mime configuration that could do it and you'll need to wait a few months.

1903 has a 9P server and associated Windows VFS support to access files inside the Linux environments, but you can't get to them from the outside before that. The one other hope is that if all the PDFs you want to access are inside/mnt/...you could reverse-engineer the host paths (i.e. turn/mnt/c/foo/bar.pdfintoC:foobar.pdf) and launch Acrobat against that, but otherwise I think you're out of luck for the moment. It's going to be a bit tricky even afterwards but I imagine someone will build the tooling once it's doable.
