Microsoft Edge consistently provides a better experience for editing/viewing PDF files compared to Google Chrome or Firefox, though it still has some limitations. For example, if you want to edit a PDF file and insert text, you would need to download feature-rich and powerful software like Adobe Reader or other PDF editing tools.
Users can seamlessly insert text into PDF files using Microsoft Edge.
Fortunately, Microsoft has heeded user feedback, and the upcoming update will bring support for custom text boxes in PDF documents. This feature proves especially handy when dealing with PDF forms, where text fields might be restricted. The solution is to utilize Microsoft Edge's new Add Text feature, allowing you to insert text into the document even when the PDF file itself doesn't support text fields.

To add text, open the PDF document in Microsoft Edge 94 (Canary) and click on the Add Text option in the top right corner of the screen. Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the document to add a text box and start typing. You can make minor adjustments like changing the font size and color, but seemingly, there's no option to alter the font style.
Similarly, features like bold, italics, and underlining text also appear to be absent. Hence, this feature might not be ideal for those needing extensive adjustments to documents. Nevertheless, if you receive a health survey or questionnaire from the office via email, the Add Text feature can help you complete these forms in a snap. According to Mytour research, this feature is set to roll out with Edge version 94 and is currently in the development stage.
