Hello Aditi_Gangwar
I appreciate to see how the reader is developing further over the last months and now becoming almost as valuable as the one shipped with Edge legacy. Keep up the excellent work!
In addition, it would be great to add these features:
- option to translate PDFs inside the reader (with preserving special notations like mathematical signs and formulas), since I often have to deal with documents in foreign languages. I'm aware that this isn't as trivial as translating HTML websites due to the complex structure of the PDF file format, but to have this feature would be awesome.
- a proper, powerful Find-in-page fly-out with the ability to perform text- and case-sensitive searches (like in Edge legacy) and listing the results for easy switching between the finds, like mentioned in this reply before. This would be an enormous improvement for working with long texts.
Maybe a suggestion to have this also for searching inside a website and get rid of the very basic and not useful Chromium Find-in-page pop-up.
Btw, since about two months read aloud in PDF viewer doesn't work anymore on Dev and Canary, although it works fine on current Stable. I'm not sure, but I think this went on with switching from v88 to v89. Are there any updates concerning this bug?
Thanks
