Rotate PDF, Share PDF, Add Notes using Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer

Microsoft Edge, like it or not, has a lot of nice things going for it. One of the possible reasons why one would choose Edge over, say, Chrome or Firefox, is the great integration with the rest of the Windows 10 resources.

One of the fairly overlooked features is the complexity of the built-in Edge PDF Viewer. With the major update, users can even rotate PDFs and save them with ease and this gathered a lot of positive feedback. The steps are quick and straightforward. Let’s get started.

Rotate PDF, Share PDF, Add Notes, etc, using Edge PDF Viewer

You can read PDFs and even rotate the pages on Edge browser. To rotate a PDF file in Microsoft Edge browser, follow the steps below:

1] Open the PDF file with Microsoft Edge

Now from the drop-down menu, choose Microsoft Edge. It would open the file on the browser and you’ll see controls on the top of the page.

2] Rotate PDF

To rotate the PDF, just press the Rotate Button on the toolbar until the PDF is upright.

 

 

When that is done and you want to save, move to the top right of the browser and click on the Save logo.

Other Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer features

Apart from rotating PDF files, the Microsoft Edge browser has got some other great features that might interest you. Let’s have a look and some of these features.

1. Change Page View Layout
2. Read Aloud
3. Share PDF
4. Draw/Add Notes

These features are further explained below-

In a case where a user can’t save PDF files on the Edge browser, the user may consider making use of Adobe Reader.
