Remember PDF position disable option

Recently, Edge implemented an option so that when you open a previosuly opened pdf, it will remember position and zoom of the last time. See this (Microsoft Edge Remember where you left off in PDFs) ...

Hey there serrgiofdezz!

You can head over to edge://settings/content/pdfDocuments from the address bar and toggle the PDF view settings ("Open PDFs to last viewed location when you reopen files") off.

Alexandra-R : I created an account to go Kiosk mode with Microsoft edge, turned on this setting for PDF , however PDFs still scroll up to 1st page when I do back and forth between 2 pdfs. Any suggestions? Does Kisok mode need to have separate settings?

Thank you, really useful!

Was that a new option? I remember checking an option for that before posting...

  It's a bit hidden in the site permissions, I had to search for it to remember where it was specifically. Glad it's the setting you're looking for though! 😃
