Over the course of last year, we worked hard on building a powerful PDF reader that offers compatibility, reliability, and security for you and your organization.
The feedback we received from you from the Edge Insider builds has been really encouraging, and here are some of the most asked features that are available today, across Windows, Mac, and Linux:
Reading and Navigation:
Annotation tools:
Enterprise and Education:
Here are the features we’re currently working on:
Further down the line:
We are actively looking at feedback from you about the features you find important.

Please add a send pdf by email as attachment button.
This would greatly simplify sharing a pdf with another person.

We would like to see this as well. It was something heavily used with the Adobe reader plug in for IE, as we try to move away from IE it has been a huge inconvenience to have nothing to replace this.

@Aditi_Gangwar Hi,
You guys have done a tremendous job so far, please keep it up.
I'm not sure why I don't see an entry on the roadmap to translate PDF's in the browser. It would seem logical that, if we have read aloud we should have the text we need to pass to the translator.
Doesn't it seem logical that if we can click on a weblink that goes to a PDF that we should be able to see the translation of that PDF WITHOUT OTHER TOOLS?
if it won't be added, I'm sure you guys have a great reason that I have not considered, so please explain it.
If, as in many cases with user comments, I've missed the information somewhere, please point me to the roadmap entry or other plan that shows translations of PDF's in the browser.
-Obrigado!

Is there a way to view a PDF's properties in Edge? Sometimes it's useful to know who created it and when.
TIA

@CASTRO1450 - The details for the policy are at Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Docs.
Configure Microsoft Edge for Windows | Microsoft Docs contains details on how to configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows
Hope this helps!

@Aditi_Gangwar Is there any chance you guys are thinking of allowing Bookmarking / Table of Contents creation?

@Aditi_Gangwar Great work so far pushing pdf reader in Edge to this level!
In your YouTube presentation you announced the abillity for adding signature images for CY 2020. Any news about this interesting feature? I could not find it in current release.
Greeting from Germany!

Do we know if Microsoft is coming out with the functionality to open up Portfolio PDF documents within Edge's native PDF browser? Having to download and then open in Adobe is cumbersome when we try to keep the most up-to-date documents on our intranet.

Dear Aditi,
I would require a digital signature functionality for PDF Forms in Browser which can use a local Token ( conforming to the PIV-Smartcard Standard NIST-SP 800-73-4 ).
The background is an electronic approval workflow, which needs digital signature for jurisdictional conformance.
It seems that we will have several similar projects in the public sector sool.
Kind reagrds,

@MaWi1 I was able to do that. I selected Share from the toolbar, then Windows Share options, then the Mail share. That, unlike the one on the top level menu, attached the file. Not streamlined, but maybe a work around for now. At least you don't have to save the file then separately open up mail.

The share option only works if the top url resolves the pdf in question (eg. ends in ....pdf) if you need to send a pdf thats "embedded" in the webpage, the share option is not helping to resolve those issues.
So Please +1 for the "Send as Email" funtion in the pdf viewer.

I'm amazed at how things have come along with the PDF reader in the new Edge. It's now my go-to PDF app. Inking in particular has improved tremendously.
But what about dark mode or night mode? That is, how do I make the backgrounds of my PDF's dark and the text light? (I'm not talking about the theme.) I can invert the colors of the entire Windows system, and that inverts colors for my PDF's, but that makes other apps with night mode (Mail, OneNote) too bright! Other PDF solutions have this feature. I am hoping you are considering this as I find this essential for long-term reading.
Thanks,
Andrew
