HotCakeX So, feature requests should be done using feedback button? on support page i did not find anything concrete how to suggest idea / feature.

I am using Edge insider, dev, latest v.90

Mentioned feature flag, #edge-digsig-enabled-pdf, seems for certification/signature checking, not for signing the PDF file.

Notes and comments, are not usefull for filling up PDF forms, like person name, date etc, to be sent to destination (like vendors, customers, agreements, banks etc.)

So this is still feature request and I do not see any discussion and progress nor info on this.

Those are also, native, free, features of Adobe Reader for example 😕

Yes, Edge developers have mentioned it many times in the community to use feedback button on Edge for any bug report and Feature suggestion.

Text notes or comments are of course not for filling out PDF forms. they are only for adding text notes and comment to PDF.

you should already be able to fill out forms on PDF.

HotCakeX sorry on my wrong info. PDF forms and fill - does work in Edge.

However, this is information from Adobe Reader that has:
- add text (not notes, comments) like name, date, City etc.
- add image (signature)
- digitaly sign with certificate, whole PDF file

I have also submited feedback in Edge. Here is screenshoort from free Adobe Reader - option Fill & Sign.
