PDF reading is one of the scenes often needed for browsing the Internet and the office. There are tens of thousands of PDF software in the world, and the Acrobat of Adobe can not be reduced, because it is native PDF software. However, after upgrading Edge 111version today, we can install less Acrobat software.

In Edge version 111,Microsoft has upgraded its new PDF reading experience to support native embedding of the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine into Microsoft Edge's built-in PDF reader.This was discussed before by Microsoft and Adobe, and now it is actually installed.

Administrators can start testing new Microsoft Edge PDF readers driven by the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine by enabling the NewPDFReaderEnabled policy.

According to Microsoft's previous introduction, this new feature is available on Win10 and Win11, and it is still free, but if you want to use advanced features, such as editing graphics and text, converting PDF to other formats, etc.Users still need to buy Acrobat subscriptions, and users who have already subscribed can use them in Edge.

To put it simply, after Edge 111, you can get a more native PDF reading experience, while advanced features still require Acrobat subscriptions. Microsoft is now just integrating the original Acrobat software into Edge, so you don't have to install it any more.
