Microsoft starts integrating Adobe Acrobat in Edge
Last February, Microsoft announced the full integration of Adobe Acrobat in its browser, Edge, starting the first launch cycle in the browser’s stable channel, with the intention that it will reach all users in the coming months.
Also in February, Microsoft announced its intention to eliminate legacy PDF readers from Microsoft Edge, promising full integration with Adobe Acrobat, the most popular application used to read, create and edit PDFs. With the release of Edge 111.0.1661.44, some users will already be able to activate the new reader, which in this first phase will require administrator rights to function.
In fact, this new version has the note “NewPDFReaderEnabled”, which alludes to Adobe Acrobat’s integrated PDF reader: unlike the new features of Microsoft Edge, which usually reach all users a few days after its release, this release will take place at a slower pace, with the aim of completing it by the end of September.
Basically, Adobe Acrobat has a paid subscription that offers some extra features that we also find in Microsoft Edge. Paid options include the ability to edit text and images, convert PDFs to other formats, and even the ability to combine files. All Adobe subscribers will also find the same features in their web browser at no additional cost, or alternatively they can subscribe if they are interested in the extras.
