Natively embedding Acrobat PDF technology in Microsoft Edge delivers an enhanced PDF experience for Windows users and a seamless path to even more value…

Interesting development…

What bloat?

Edge already has a good PDF reader/editor; next month it will be slightly better.

Adobe was never associated with Better
So, every time Adobe updates its malignant buggy reader we will get a new Edge update just like there is a new Edge updates after every Chrome update ?

Universal documents have been better since they invented PDF about 30 years ago.

Possibly, but what’s the problem? Adobe Reader updates are released less often than any browser, and Edge updates are automatic and unintrusive. (Malignant? Really?)

What’s the relevance of that to my post, or Flash to this thread (which you started with “interesting development”)?
