Features
The PDF reader, built into Microsoft Edge, comes with the basic reading and navigation features, like Zoom, Rotate, Fit to page/width, jump to page, and search, among others. They can be accessed through a pin-able toolbar at the top of PDF content. This section gives an overview of some important functions. The next screenshot shows the PDF reader toolbar.

Table of contents
Table of contents lets users easily navigate through PDF documents that have a table of contents. When a user clicks the Table of contents icon, a navigation pane that shows a list of the labeled sections and subsections in the PDF document is shown. The user can then click any of the labels in the pane to navigate to that section of the document. The pane stays open for as long as needed and can be closed when the user wants to go back to reading the document. The next screenshot shows the navigation pane for an open document.

Page view
Microsoft Edge supports different views for PDF documents in our Dev and Canary channels. Users can change the layout of a document from a single page view to two pages that are displayed side by side. To change how the PDF document is being viewed, users can click the
Page View button in the PDF toolbar and then choose either view they want to use. The two-page view is shown in the next screenshot.

Caret mode browsing
Caret browsing is available for PDF files opened in Microsoft Edge, which means that users can interact with PDF files using the keyboard. If a user presses the F7 key anywhere in the browser, they're asked if caret browsing should be turned on. If enabled, caret browsing is available for any content opened in the browser, be it PDF files or web pages. When a user presses F7 again, caret browsing is turned off. When caret browsing is active and the focus is on the content, users will see a blinking cursor in the PDF file. The caret can also be used to navigate through the file or to select text by pressing Shift while moving the cursor. This ability lets users easily create elements as highlights, or interact with elements as links, form fields with the keyboard. The next screenshot shows the popup menu for turning on Caret mode browsing.

Inking
Inking on PDF files comes in handy to take quick notes for easy reference, sign, or fill out PDF forms. This capability is now available in Microsoft Edge. In addition to inking PDF files as needed, you can use color and stroke width to bring attention to different parts of the PDF file. The next screenshot shows how a user can add inking to a pdf page.

Highlight
PDF reader in Microsoft Edge comes with support for adding and editing highlights. To create a highlight, the user simply needs to select the text, right-click on it, select highlights in the menu and choose the desired color. Highlights can also be created using a pen, or keyboard. The next screenshot shows the available highlight options.

Text notes
While reading a PDF file, text notes can be added to the text in the file to jot down thoughts for easy reference later.
Users can add a note by selecting the piece of text they wish to add a note for and invoking the right-click context menu. Selecting the Add Comment option in the menu will open a text box where users can add their comments. They can type the comment and then click the checkmark to save the comment.
After a note is added, the selected text will be highlighted, and a comment icon will appear to indicate the comment. Users can hover over that icon to preview the comment or click on it to open and edit the note.
The next screenshot shows a note getting added to highlighted text.

Read aloud
Read aloud for PDF adds the convenience of listening to PDF content while carrying out other tasks that may be important to users. It also helps auditory learners focus on the content, which makes learning much easier. The next screenshot shows a Read loud example. The highlighting shows the text that is currently being read.

Protected PDFs
Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) enables users to collaborate with others securely while adhering to your organization's compliance policies. After a file is protected, the actions users can take on it are determined by the permissions assigned to them.
