PDF files displayed in Edge pixalated
Hi, Since last update on Edge, PDF rendering is pixalated. Issue happens only with Edge, is there a particular option to deactivate ? Regards, Catherine

The PDF feature team is asking if disabling the PDF thumbnail cache will mitigate the issue. The steps on how to do this can be found below. Again, thank you for your help on this, and please let me know if you have any questions about the process.
Page thumbnails can be disabled by using “—disable-features=”msPdfThumbnailCache” while opening Edge.
- Right click on the Edge shortcut icon.
- Click “Properties”.
- Go to “Shortcut” tab.
- In “Target” section, copy paste “—disable-features=”msPdfThumbnailCache”” at the end.
- Click “Apply”.
- Close the properties pop-up.
- Re-start Edge. (Make sure all the Edge processes have ended from the Task Manager.)
OR
- Open command prompt. (Search “cmd” in Windows search box)
- Navigate to the directory where Edge is present. (run “cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application” in cmd prompt.)
- Run “taskkill /im msedge.exe /f” to kill all the Edge processes running currently.
Launch Edge using “msedge.exe –disable-features=”msPdfThumbnailCache”.
