MicrosoftRoadmap for PDF reader in Microsoft Edge
Hello Aditi_Gangwar
MS Edge doesnt recognize active pen on Surface devices. It would be fine to INK with pen and scrolling with fingers like in MS Whiteboard.
Thanks!

Filip Paďourek What's shocking is that on a Microsoft computer (Surface Book 2) using a Microsoft Pen, inking with Edge is unusable. The most natural use of a pen -- to mark up a document -- and NOTHING on the roadmap mentions making Edge work with a pen. I tried the newly touted highlighting feature using a pen. Nothing happens. Out of frustration, I tried a double-tap, and some random bit of the document was selected (I think closer to where I had my hand than where the tip of the pen was). No joy there. Tried dragging the pen again -- nothing.
I think Filip Paďourek was admirably polite -- the lack of pen support on a pen-enabled Microsoft machine boggles the mind.
vygadekatfeyq highlighter support for Pen is coming pretty soon (Edge version 86). We are also working on fixing some of the ink quality issues. I hope that would solve some of these concerns with supporting Pen as good as the previous version of Edge.
vygadeka This is great news. The other thing that would be wonderful is if scrolling with your finger was fixed. Currently you can't turn off ink-with-finger. And scrolling is with two fingers only, which also does document zoom - which makes a mess of working in a multipage document. If that and the ink quality issues were fixed, I would stop using the old Edge for editing my PDF's.
