registry - PDF files custom context menu not appearing

Question

I want to create a custom context menu (shell) entry in Windows 10. I tried to add the entry to the following keys:

shell entry properties for all:
@="Open with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017"
"Icon"=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 2017\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe""
"Position"="Top"

command for all:
@=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 2017\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1""


Tried keys:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]


[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREClasses.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREClasses.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREClassesAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREClassesAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses.pdfshellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobat]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesAcrobat.Document.2017shellOpenWithAcrobatcommand]

But it won't appear in the context menu.

Background: I use another program to view PDF files, because it's much more performant and I use Acrobat just for editing files or filling forms.

Can someone explain what the problem is?
