Top Feedback Summary for April 28
Great to hear that you are actively working on the PDF reader. This needs to be a key feature of Edge, with at least the same features as Edge Classic, Firefox and Chrome.
Its imperative for business users to have a high quality PDF reader built into the browser, so that we don't need to use Adobe. Other missing features besides the Table of Contents include:
- Search menu
- Digital signature support - verification and signing
- Advanced fillable forms

Tom_Fox Do you mind sending me a private message with your thoughts fleshed out a little more around these? I believe that signature support is available because of the pen that's built in. I actually just used something similar this morning for my son's school work in our Stable build. He had a PDF for one of his projects, and instead of printing it out, I had him write on it and we saved it locally to share. Does this not work for you, or is there something around that you're talking about that I'm not understanding? The latter could totally be the case, so please correct me if I'm wrong!
sgilder There's no real answer to this because there's definitely a few things that factor into that decision. Mostly, it's up to the owner, but we do follow up with people very frequently to provide these updates.
David_H_1 You are the second person I've seen talk about this! I'm sure the team is already all over it, but once I have more info on the release I will try to remember to ask the team what packages we're going with and provide you all with those details here.
Thanks for all the comments and positivity, everyone! :3
