Edge Dev and Canary builds bring support for text comments in PDFs

[silversurfer]

Ever since Microsoft moved to the Chromium-based Edge browser, the firm has been slowly bringing features from legacy Edge to its new offering. These include the new web capture tool, PDF improvements such as markup options, small additions like download options, and much more. Now, another feature making its way to the Canary and Dev channel builds of the browser is support for comments in PDFs.
 
Users can now open PDF documents in Edge and highlight portions of the PDF to add a text note from the right-click context menu for the selected text. The sticky note-like comments can be deleted easily right from the comment box via the delete icon. Additionally, users can not only add a comment by selecting a new string of text but also directly right-click on an already highlighted text in a PDF. Once the note is added, a small comment icon appears next to the highlighted text, which can be hovered on to read the comment.
