Microsoft Edge extends tools for the PDF reader
I am on edge dev and I would like to see the following improvement for PDF reader.
1. Fix smooth scroll as in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/4k-smooth-support-pdfs/m-p/1189931
2. Fix selection. Selecting one line should not break into several segment of different height.
Chromium edge
Old edge
3. Fix comment display. There shouldn't be inconsistent spacing within each word.
4. Add support for textbox. Currently both legacy and chromium edge doesn't display such thing in PDF. This is important for reading annotation if the PDF was annotated by some other tools.
5. Add support for pen pressure sensitivity and annotate by pen only.
6. Ink looks distorted (lots of pixel!) before pen is released.
And looks much better after pen is released.
ZZYSonny for #4, if you are asking for ability to add text boxes, this is definitely in our roadmap for PDF annotations support. For #6 about blurred inking, what type of device you are observing this on? What are the display settings (resolution, scaling)?
