Microsoft has been improving the PDF reader of the new Chromium-based Edge since day one. If there was one good thing about the old Microsoft Edge, it was its PDF reader. Between the capabilities of Windows Ink and its multiple options, it was way ahead of Chrome. Now a feature that was in testing for a long time is making a comeback.
Microsoft begins testing two-page view in Microsoft Edge
Edge Canary build 88.0.688.0 added two PDF billboards. This is very useful given the format of most screens. The feature can be enabled by turning on the “Enable dual page view for PDF” flag in the Edge: // flags.
This produces a new button in the PDF reader on restart, which allows us to choose a single page view, two page views, or a mode that keeps the cover visible.
We have tested the functionality and it works great. We expect the Microsoft team to continue testing and if all goes well, they can reach users in about two months. Enough time to polish this feature and deliver exceptional performance, as we are used to from early versions.
