Microsoft Edge supports tagged PDF files, and includes improvements to features such as the address bar, tabs, windows, and Favorites.
You can also sign PDFs, highlight books that you are reading, add comments, and add virtual sticky notes. A new virtual narrator feature called Read aloud works on PDFs, eBooks, and some webpages.
In addition, Learning Tools is a set of features that make it easier for people with dyslexia. For example, the text in Microsoft Edge can be spaced and highlighted. Change the background to a darker shade to help reduce eye strain and change the size and type of font for near or far-sightedness.
In Windows, search for and open Microsoft Edge, or click the Edge icon on the taskbar.
