Roadmap for PDF reader in Microsoft Edge
Doug Punchak Interesting problem, this works well for us (users in the same tenant for IRM protected PDF files). Can you share the IRM settings you are using ?
On my side I'm testing with:
- Windows 10 Pro latest updates installed
- Latest version of Edge installed
- I'm logging to Windows 10 using my 365 account and password
- The IRM-protected PDF files are stored on SharePoint
- I'm logged onto SharePoint Web in Edge with the same 365 user account I'm logged onto Windows 10 Pro
I get this screen when I first try to open the PDF, I then click "Open in Browser" and then the PDF opens up and I can see it in clear in Edge using the embedded PDF reader like this. you can that the "file is protected by MSFT IRM..."
If I check the permissions, I see this (which is in accordance to my IRM settings in SharePoint Library
I'm the SP site owner so I have a few more rights than other users but my other users can also open up the files and they are normal users, not owners.
My SP site IRM settings are as follow (blanked out some infos)
I'm especially wondering about the "Prevent opening documents in the browser for this Document Library" part...

Thank you for the reply. Sorry I missed it until now.
My IRM settings are in the screenprint below. I don't have the checkbox checked to "Prevent opening documents in the browser for this Document Library"
Let me know what else I can do to test.
