Microsoft wants its Edge browser to be a powerful PDF reader

Microsoft has detailed a number of features coming to its new Chromium-based Edge Internet browser which will greatly improve the experience of reading PDF files in the application.

In a roadmap detailing upcoming features for the browser, Microsoft has outlined its plan to make Edge a powerful PDF reader in addition to an Internet browser.

A reader don't help no-one.

An editor, now that'd be good.

If you have a touch screen, MS Edge is pretty much the only PDF reader that doesn't lag when scrolling via touch. Try it out, even my one low-end celeron notebook doesn't lag on PDF with Edge while it near freezes with Adobe.
If they port it to Chromium, it will be pretty nice, maybe Chrome and FF can add it.
