Dev channel update to 84.0.508.0 is live
When you will enable Immersive reader for PDF file 😑 ?
I'm using the Canary build, but still, I don't have this feature enabled yet.
Please, if you still working on it, add it as a flag, so the one who needs it will be able to enable it.
I fell that PDF team are lazy because we didn't see any improvement for PDF engine that worths to be mention except the highlighter and inking tool. The PDF engine is just terrible, It's too slow and even doesn't support bookmarks.
If you can't add old Edge's PDF features, just consider building a separate app for PDFs. because we really need it.

I think the new edge dev team have already got the expectation for the PDF feature in new edge, and the reason why they didn't improve it, is that there are something deeper about the software's kernel, which may take so much time to refactor/rebuild it and needs more consideration. Let us be patient and give them more time.
Ps: There are some good pdf apps in Windows Store, just give "Xodo" or "Draw PDF" a try.
