Roadmap for PDF reader in Microsoft Edge
Users within our organization have reported that they cannot view PDF files from SharePoint IRM protected directories in Edge Chromium though they are assigned to have access to the files in the directory. When attempting to access the IRM protected PDFs in Edge Chromium, users receive an error “This PDF file is protected” as if they do not have access. They have attempted to access the PDF files by clicking on the file links and choosing open in the Edge browser and by downloading the files from the Edge browser and then opening them on their desktop to no avail. The PDF files open properly when they are not IRM protected and were generated by multiple sources. All users are using the Edge browser Version 87.0.664.66 (Official build) (64-bit) or later. Any assistance or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
