Microsoft’s web browser, Edge, now comes with integrated Adobe Acrobat technology, enhancing its PDF capabilities.
The company confirmed the changes in a blog post (opens in new tab) published earlier this week, adding that regular consumers, as well as unattended professionals, should see the change right away.
Professional users will have to wait for the change to roll out to managed devices “over time” as the feature continues to be tested and users slowly transition, the company added.
Unique PDF experience
Anyway, a month after Microsoft first announced the change, Microsoft integrated the new feature into version 111.0.1661.44. The company hopes it will further improve the PDF experience as it aims to shape the future of the workplace and the overall digital experience for consumers.
The deprecated engine, currently found in the Microsoft Edge PDF solution, is expected to be removed on March 31, 2024, the company concluded.
Consumers who would like to try out the new feature should check their browser version. It should update automatically, but if automatic updates are turned off (or not working for whatever reason), they can be manually activated by opening the menu, tapping Help & feedback, About Microsoft Edge, then waiting for the update. update to download.
“By powering the built-in Microsoft Edge PDF reader with the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine, users get a unique PDF experience with higher fidelity for more accurate colors and images, improved performance, strong security for PDF processing, and greater accessibility, including better text selection and reading aloud,” Microsoft added.
The tech giant also pointed out that “there is no requirement to purchase an Adobe Acrobat subscription to use Microsoft Edge’s built-in PDF-free capabilities.”
It’s also worth noting that the change will only be available to users running Windows 10 or Windows 11; users of older versions of the operating system are out of luck.
