XFA file are not supported either, also I heard that .epub files aren't either. It would be good to just have a seperate app for PDF"S with all the features and optimzed. Edge is just a brwoser to get it done but PDF reader would be much hopeful- epubs are a different story, they are not PDF, there are 3rd party epub readers that MSFT suggest to use.
- I think XFA could be implemented in Edge if people ask for it and they see there is a need for it from users, even though it's a proprietary architecture, it's implemented in free PDF readers, so shouldn't be a problem in terms of licensing I assume.
- Well a lot of secure confidential forms use them a lot.
Very true, PDf app will only use PDF rescources and not a browser.
Just have the PDF App from Windows 8 but more fleunt please.
