MicrosoftTop feedback summary for November 4
David Rubino Lots to love in this new Edge! One thing I use Edge for nearly everyday is highlighting/annotating PDFs for school. I've noticed that the new Edge now has tools for annotating PDFs with a pen, but the feature set is very limited:
- Only blue pen, one thickness
- No highlighting (which I wish could be "freehand" not related to the text like in current Edge)
- Surface Pen eraser doesn't seem to be working
- When I draw, it looks unsmooth, then smooths out and moves just slightly after I draw it.
If the current feature set launches in January, I will be unable to continue using Edge when the next semester begins. Can we expect feature parity with the old Edge for PDF annotations in time for public launch?
Thanks for all the hard work!
This is something I agree with and would really like to see from the new Edge. As a student studying a degree, the inking features on the old edge were great for annotating webpages and scientific articles when researching for my studies, and I'll be sorry to see all these features scrapped come January.
I'd love to see a colour selector, thickness selector, erasing using a Surface Pen eraser tip, a ruler tool, highlighters, pencils - on both PDFs and webpages
