Microsoft Edge is a popular web browser that features a built-in PDF editor. This editor allows users to view, edit, and save PDF documents without having to use a separate program. In this article, we’ll go through the steps on how to efficiently use Microsoft Edge’s built-in PDF editor.

1. Opening a PDF Document

The first step towards editing a PDF document in Microsoft Edge is to open the PDF file in the web browser. You can do this by simply dragging the file on the Edge icon on the taskbar or opening Edge and clicking on the open file icon. Select the PDF that you want to edit and it will automatically open in the browser.

2. Viewing and Navigating the PDF

Once the PDF is open in Edge, you can use the PDF toolbar to view and navigate the document. The toolbar will appear at the top of the screen and will include options such as zooming in or out, rotating the page, opening the annotation toolbar, and more. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the document.

3. Editing the PDF

To make changes to the PDF document, you will need to access the PDF editor. To do this, click on the “Add notes” button or press “Ctrl+Shift+A” on your keyboard. This will open the annotation toolbar which offers a variety of editing tools.

4. Adding Text and Markup

Using the annotation toolbar, you can add text, highlight, underline or strike through text. You can also add shapes, arrows, or lines to the PDF document. To do this, click on the appropriate tool and select the area where you want to add the mark. To edit the color or thickness of the text or markup, simply double-click on the mark, and a window will appear allowing you to make changes.

5. Managing Your Annotations

Once you have added your annotations, it’s time to save your changes. To do this, simply click on the “Save” button in the top right corner of the screen. If you want to remove any annotation, select it and press delete on the keyboard.

6. Sharing the Document

After editing and saving the PDF document, you may want to share it with others. To do this, click on the “Share” button in the toolbar, and select an option for sharing, such as email or OneDrive. You can also save the edited version on your computer by clicking on the “Download” button.

In conclusion, Microsoft Edge’s built-in PDF editor is a robust and easy-to-use tool that can help you edit PDF documents efficiently.
