I've been using Edge Dev for three days, on three computers, and the MS development team did a great job so far. The current build is good enough that I'm going to make Edge Dev (as updated weekly) my primary browser going forward during the remainder of the development process.
I was working with complex PDF files this morning, and Edge Dev didn't hit any glitches. Three suggestions, though, for things that should be in the release version: (1) ability to add notes to PDF file; (2) ability to search within PDF file; and (3) ability to "Save As" a PDF file. All are tools in Edge Classic, and should be brought over. The ability to highlight text and save the highlighted version for others to read would be nice, but isn't essential.

Thanks all for the feedback. Like Elliot mentioned, the basic anotations features are in the works. @Deleted can you elaborate what do you mean by "pdf editing mode"?

Thanks @Deleted. Duly noted. As of now, we do not intend to provide capabilities of a full fledged PDF editor. We do want to provide basic editing capabilities like adding notes etc. which aids in content consumption.

@Deleted I am from the PDF team I have noted your feedback. All I wanted to say was that the capabilities you mentioned are in our radar just that you might have to wait for it a bit longer.

Thank you @vygadeka :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: , I didn't know you were from pdf team....
Maybe not everyone wants this feature, but it will be mind relaxing from headache of using 2 softwares for approx same things....i.e edge and adobe acrobat (being provided that edge already provides some pdf annotating features).
Since edge is a browser , everyone have it installed on their system ( if they use edge as their default).
Then why would anyone wants to buy adobe acrobat just for one or two more extra features like changing the text e.t.c
Thank you to consider about it btw, will wait for these features.

Just tried the PDF viewer and it works great. Would love to see up and down buttons for the page selection, not just a number field. Adobe Acrobat has this and I use it all of the time.
