Without the help of professional reading software, Microsoft Edge can add text to PDF files on Windows and macOS platforms. This new feature is called Add text, and users of the Edge Canary channel have been invited to test it.
Compared to Chrome and Firefox, the editor personally thinks that Edge has a better experience. The ability to view and edit PDF documents is a convenient feature, but there are some limitations. For example, if you want to edit PDF and insert text, you need more powerful software, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Fortunately, Microsoft has listened to feedback that the upcoming update will support custom text boxes in PDF documents. This feature is especially useful when you receive PDF form data, but cannot fill in any fields in the document due to restrictions.
The solution is to use the new Add text feature of Microsoft Edge, which allows you to add text to the document when the PDF itself does not support fields. To add text, open the PDF document in Microsoft Edge 94 (Canary) and click the Add Text option as shown in the screenshot below. Alternatively, you can right-click anywhere in the document to add a text box and start typing. When you are done, you can save, print, or email the document.
