Edge already does PDFs for me

That's correct but what I.m talking about are these things:

* *Smoother scroll experience*: We are bringing the smooth scroll of
Legacy Edge to the modern browser.
* *Table of Contents*: You will soon be able to view the contents of
PDF files and navigate through the file with the same.
* *Highlight mode*: In this mode, you will be able to create
highlights directly by selecting text, without the need of clicking
on a highlight button.
* *Text notes*: With this, you will be able to add their own notes to
text in PDF files. These notes will travel with the PDF.
* *Protected PDF files*: Microsoft Information Protection adds a layer
of security to your documents. It ensures that only the users who
have certain permissions as view, copy, annotate can take those
actions on the file. Hence, no matter where the document goes, the
data of your organization remains secure.
o *Viewing labels of protected files:* You will soon be able to
view the sensitivity labels
o *Viewing MIP files protected in other tenants:* This will enable
you to view the files protected in other organizations, or in
other tenants in the organization.
* *Digital signatures*: View and validate certificate based Digital
signatures on signed files.
* *Accessibility* *improvements:* With this, you will be able to fill
PDF forms using screen readers, and navigate through PDF documents
using caret mode.


The pandemic has slowed down many things but the insider tells me that
Microsoft bosses have ordered developers to start producing new features
fast.Â* Edge is the second most used browser and Microsoft wants to make
it number one in two years time.

Who would you trust to provide accurate information about
COVID-19? Doctors who have studied viruses and treated
patients for years? Or a TV actor who tweets "cofefe"?

it's for reading pdfs on the web, without needing to download a file
and then launch a reader app to read it, or installing a third party
plugin.

If I have a PDF file on my hard drive, I do not want to use a browser to
read it.

I'm most productive with a particular set of
controls on the screen.

That browser isn't it.

PDF plugins were invented a long time ago, and
they've consistently not worked the way I work.

Some of the PDFs need to be run through a cleaner
or a filter, and that's only going to work if
the PDF is on disk, in a visible folder.

Whether you view the pdf in your browser or a pdf reader, it has to be
downloaded, so you will always have a local copy on the PC.
Using Chrome it is a simple matter to set it to automatically open pdf
files in your chosen reader so they can be viewed without the browser
clutter.

nope. when viewed in the browser, the copy is in the browser cache,
which then is flushed when you close the window or shortly thereafter.

there's a *lot* less clutter and simplicity when a pdf is viewed
directly in the browser, particularly if it's not worth keeping, as is
usually the case.

Of course it is , and that is the local copy I was referring to.
I thought even the most argumentative ****wit would understand that.

which then is flushed when you close the window or shortly thereafter.

Only if the browser has been set to do that.

********, my experience says otherwise. And since you have no idea how
pdfs are displayed on my 2 screen setup and have no idea which pdfs I
download then you appear to be arguing for the sake of it.

Do take a hike old chap, you are rather tiresome.

All browsers have this settings.Â* Also, all browsers have a feature to
save the file on your machine in your desired folder. It doesn't have to
be browser cache.

Do you guys actually use a machine and learn these intricacies or are
you all so old that you couldn't care less about them?

then you're confused about the difference.

I thought even the most argumentative ****wit would understand that.

profanity eliminates any credibility you might have had.

it's not kept forever, nor does it matter, since nobody is going to
extract it from the cache.

then your experience is very limited.

And since you have no idea how
pdfs are displayed on my 2 screen setup and have no idea which pdfs I
download then you appear to be arguing for the sake of it.

i don't need to know how anything is displayed on *your* system or
anyone else's system, for that matter.

by any objective measurement, viewing a pdf link directly in a browser
is less clutter and less hassle than switching to a different app to
read it, and building that capability into the browser, it's one less
plug-in to install.

that doesn't eliminate the ability to download the pdf and use another
app. it's an *additional* option, which is always good.

You are not applying an objective measurement to this matter, you are
making a purely subjective judgement.

There is no plug-in and no switching is needed.

Since the browser cache is saved to your hard drive it is only a matter
of words.

My browser cache is cleared when I close the browser. However when
downloading document, I routinely edit documents in the cache and save
the edited version somewhere else. Example: Adding citations to
document jpgs and saving to the cache, and saving the edited pages to a
PDF file in another location on my hard drive.

there is if you use another app to read the pdf, which you said you did.
