We had this issue in the past where if you double click a pdf to open, Adobe will not self heal and thus the setting will not be applied. Users normally open a pdf via this method, very seldom have I seen a user open Acrobat and then go file open.
You could use Active Setup, but from what I recall from my testing, the overhead of Acrobat doing a self-heal or a active setup cost is too high to be a viable option.
In the end, we opted to use GPO to push out the key. This would mean the registry key is enforced, and has a low overhead cost = happy user.
