Windows 10 has Edge as its default web browser in the place of Microsoft’s traditional web browser, the Internet Explorer, in all the devices. Also, Microsoft Edge is now the default pdf reader to open and view pdf files in Windows 10 supported workstations.

Unable to Open PDF Files in MS Edge?

The earlier versions of Windows platforms (Windows 7 or Windows 8) have a universal PDF supported that allow opening PDF files using Acrobat Reader, Adobe Acrobat, or Foxit Reader, or similar programs. But after making an upgrade to Windows 10, PDF files are automatically opened in PDF Explorer even if the Acrobat Reader is installed on the machine.

Microsoft Edge provides only minimal access controls (like zoom in, zoom out, print etc.), and lacks some convenient features, like, sending the PDF as an attachment with Outlook. MS Edge remains the default PDF reader even if the user reinstalls Acrobat Reader in order to access the PDF files. Amid the process, the file can become inaccessible, and MS Edge may indicate some error messages. Simply, Edge users often face issues while opening PDF files in their browser.

Change the Default PDF Viewing Setting in MS Edge

Implement the following procedure to set the default PDF viewing settings in MS Edge:
