Edge pdf text addition = massive file size increase
As of today, when I add just a small amount of text (20-30 characters) to a pdf and save, the file size increases from 66KB to 55,000KB ... never happened before. I've reported to Microsoft but they have no solutions. Any ideas to get around? Saving as a separate file has same result. Thanks
Feature Request: PDF Layer Support in the new Adobe PDF Engine for Edge
Beschreibung: Mit der Umstellung des integrierten PDF‑Viewers in Microsoft Edge auf die Adobe Acrobat PDF‑Engine (Rollout ab 2023, vollständige Ablösung des Legacy‑Engines bis Juni 2026) ist es entscheidend, dass wichtige Profi‑Funktionen nicht verloren gehen. Ein zentraler Wunsch vieler Anwender ist die vollständige Unterstützung von PDF‑Layern. Gerade in technischen Bereichen – etwa bei CAD‑Zeichnungen, Bauplänen oder Schaltbildern – sind Layer unverzichtbar, um Inhalte gezielt ein‑ oder auszublenden und komplexe Dokumente verständlich darzustellen. Wir bitten darum, sicherzustellen, dass die neue Adobe‑Integration in Edge auch diese Layer‑Funktionalität nativ unterstützt. Ohne diese Funktion bleibt Edge für professionelle PDF‑Workflows eingeschränkt und zwingt Nutzer weiterhin zu Dritt‑Viewern. Use‑Case‑Beispiele: Elektrotechnik: Kabelpläne mit Layern für Signal‑, Strom‑ und Steuerleitungen Architektur: Baupläne mit Layern für unterschiedliche Gewerke (Elektro, Sanitär, Statik) Dokumentation: Technische Handbücher mit optionalen Layern für Detailansichten Eine native Layer‑Unterstützung würde die neue Adobe‑Engine in Edge deutlich aufwerten und den Einsatz für Fachanwender erheblich verbessern. gb-EN Description: With Microsoft Edge transitioning its built‑in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine (rollout starting in 2023, legacy engine removed by June 2026), it is crucial to ensure that key professional features are not overlooked. One of the most requested capabilities is full support for PDF layers. In technical fields – such as CAD drawings, construction plans, or electrical schematics – layers are essential to selectively show or hide content and make complex documents easier to understand. We kindly ask that the new Adobe integration in Edge natively supports PDF layers. Without this functionality, Edge remains limited for professional PDF workflows and forces users to rely on third‑party viewers. Use‑Case Examples: Electrical engineering: cable diagrams with separate layers for signal, power, and control lines Architecture: construction plans with layers for different trades (electrical, plumbing, structural) Documentation: technical manuals with optional detail layers Native layer support would significantly enhance the Adobe PDF engine in Edge and make it far more valuable for professional users.
Microsoft Edge PDF Reader - signature validation warning for official signatures
Since the last edge update we are running into the following issue, which triggers support tickets on our side. It seems that the edge internal PDF Reader now supports validation of digital PDF signatures. This new feature however is incomplete and causes a lot of confusion for edge users. "Official" signatures are labeled as "Unknown Signature" and "The validity of the signature is still unknown": "Official signatures" means qualified signatures from members of the EUTL - the European trust list as defined in ETSI TS 119 612 („Trusted Lists“): [...] the European Commission publishes a central list with links to the locations where the national trusted lists are published as notified by Member States. This central list, called the List Of Trusted Lists (LOTL), is available in both a human readable format and in a format suitable for automated (machine) processing XML. Parts of the edge PDF reader seems to come from *dobe itself which adds additional confusion since in their products (*dobe reader, acrobat etc) the signatures are correctly verified. They support this list for several years now (next to their own AATL list). I tried to find out whether this feature is 'work-in-progress' or it is a bug however the last published roadmap is quite old and doesn't give helpful information regarding this aspect. So my question is: Is full support of PDF signature validation including support of the EUTL planned and if so when?
