Great work guys give yoursleves a pat on the back.

 

One my customers always seem to struggle with is fillable PDF forms, any way to open fill and save/save as coming to SPO or Edge?

      Does this solve the issue when searching for Visio Files that this trigger a download instead of the viewer?

    PeterWhitehouse -- I would be shocked if support for fillable PDFs came around.  That's a big undertaking.... huge in fact, in the browser, not to mention that would directly conflict with PowerApps and Forms.  That said, there's many times a client gives you a fillable PDF and you're expected to fill it out... 

     

    I think if I could get rid of PDFs and printers I would gain 10 years to my lifespan.

      Hi Clint Lechner ,

       

      I have some clients that specialize in wills & lasting power of attorney that use HMRC provided fillable PDF forms every day. They use Foxit Reader to check in/out these forms to save them to sharepoint but every now & again they have issues with saving them back to sharepoint.
