Enable or Disable the mini menu for PDF files in Microsoft Edge

The mini menu for PDF files is a new feature in Microsoft Edge. You can use this feature to enable a mini menu for text selection in the PDF reader. The feature has added only limited items in the context menu unlike the traditional one. This option is enabled by default but not every user may find it useful therefore you can turn this feature off in the Settings. In this post, we will guide you on how to enable or disable the mini menu for PDF files in Microsoft. Let us read and learn in the below section.

Enable or Disable the mini menu for PDF files in Microsoft Edge

To enable or disable the mini menu for PDF files in the Edge browser, follow the below suggestions:

1. At first, open the Microsoft Edge browser.
2. Click on the Settings and more (Alt+F) button and select Settings.
3. From the left pane, select the Appearance tab.

Let’s now see them in details:

To get it started, open the Microsoft Edge browser first.

From the menu list, select the Settings option.

On the Settings page, click on the Appearance tab from the left.

As an alternative, you can type the following text in the Microsoft Edge address bar and press Enter to open the Appearance tab directly:
