Hello,
The built-in PDF player of Edge does not support opening of XFA compliant PDF documents. Is there any chance this functionality will be added in the near future to the browser?
If not, how the users are supposed to open this type of PDF documents using Edge, other than downloading the file to the local drive and use Acrobat Reader Dc after that.
Thank you,
Eduard Constantin

@josh_bodner Your roadmap (Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365) still lists XFA support as being in GA as of last month. Is there any update to that status, then?

Thanks - I've tried the flag however it still has some issues (same as chrome)
Try this link
t132-eng.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk)
There is a link to the chrome bug here as well.

Yes, that's fine, I understand that your still in the development stage - same as chrome is. I just really wanted to point to a pdf using xfa forms - created by the uk justice department (so a credabile source) that you might use as part of the development / testing.
This might be a 'shot in the dark' and TBH I don't expect an answer. However if you don't ask you'll never know. When do you think development will be complete? Even just a ball part figure - 6months, 1 year etc?

@rhousham thank you, my friend. Well… I guess we will look at revamping! Definitely a bit frustrating as there appears to be limitations to the features in Adobe Acrobat Pro. We will figure it out I guess! Thanks for the insight.

@josh_bodner Hello Josh, is the XFA support in built-in PDF reader of Edge in GA now. I could see this setting in the docs Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn.

@Techie_geek Yeah the link you have is about the policy document -so you can enable it as part of the company. So it enables the setting in the flags - edge://flags
But setting it doesn't do the job .... t132-eng.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk) - it doesn't work 100% and even crashed once.

@rhousham Thank you so much for the clarity.
