    Can't you just set edge as the default pdf viewer?

      Hello Agnus,

      While we honor your settings you may have set the default PDF reader, you definitely can change it!

      You may either do it by going to Settings -> Default apps -> Set default by apps.
      Or by right clicking on a PDF file -> Open with -> Choose another app -> Select Edge, and check "Always use this app to open .pdf files"

    Hello Rohit,

    You just need to change the browser to dark mode, and PDF UX will inherit the dark mode as well.

      Hmm, that doesn't seem to work for me. My default theme is dark, but the pdf is still on the light theme.
