Microsoft Edge 94 makes it easier to add Text to PDFs

Microsoft is constantly improving PDF features in the Microsoft Edge browser. Edge already allows to add comments to selected text in PDF documents, now, you can “add text ” by typing in a text box and when you save it, the text looks like part of the document. That’s the beauty of the feature, currently available in Edge 94 Canary verison.

Microsoft is working to make PDF Reader in the new Edge on par with the legacy version.

Till now, the company added Dictionary, Table of contents, Read aloud, Digital Signatures, Smooth Scrolling, and many more.

Edge also brings a tiny menu for PDFs, where if you select the text, a small menu pops up and allows you to add comments and video comments especially, from YouTube.

With a recent update, Edge received a new toolbar option that makes adding text to PDF dead simple, here is how you can do that.

How to add text to PDF document in Microsoft Edge

Open a PDF document in Edge, click on “Add text” on the toolbar.
Press left click anywhere on PDF for the text box to appear, “start typing” as it says.

While you’re typing, you can change the text color to Red, Dark Green, Blue. and Black.
Similarly, you can increase and decrease “text size” and “text spacing”. You can also delete what you’ve typed so far in the box anytime by clicking the Trash icon.
Once you’re done, click on the floppy icon to save the changes to PDF.

This may not be a killer PDF feature but could be useful when users need it.
