Here are the things I would like to see within PDF's on edge.
- The ability to convert a pdf into a word document.
- The ability to make a PDF that has been scanned or not text searchable to be made so that you can search for text within the pdf. Also the ability to search for text that is written with ink or typed into the PDF.
- A way to sign the PDF on computers that aren't touch screen or have a pen-like MacBooks and desktops.
- Improved signing on PDF's with your finger or a stylus that is not a pen since using your finger or a stylus can create eligible and choppy signatures.
- An email, share, or export PDF's within edge.
- password protect your PDF"s within edge.
- Having the ability to blur sensitive data when filling out a PDF. Nowadays important documents come in the form of PDFs. Having the ability to blur sensitive data that you fill out in the PDF within edge should only allow you and anyone else who has access to it to be able to see the sensitive data such as bank accounts, credit card info taxes, and anything that would be in the Onedrive vault to be blurred out so that no one can have access to it except for the person who has access to the file.
- The ability to fill out a PDF by speaking like speech to text.
