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.
