New Add Text Feature for PDFs in Microsoft Edge

 

This is Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.859.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

 

with this feature, you can add text to PDF with your keyboard, not just using pen which is only good for touch screens.

    I really like the add text feature but the text boxes are all being rotated left in one of my PDF files. Is there a way to fix this?

     

    Thanks in advance.

      Hey LuisAvila!

       

      There was a bug with this feature that made it to Stable, the fix is in the works to bring it back as expected. Thanks so much for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience. Glad you're enjoying it! 😃

        Expected Success

        When I added regular text .. such as ... ["Hello"] I see my changes ... on top of the PDF.

         

        Unexpected Failure

        When I added text with perhaps newer symbols such as [":infinity:️Hello"] the change is not visible ... unless I click again on the area.

         

        I have not done extensive testing.

         

        Any suggestions ?
        Thanks.
