2024-04-15 川 This extention can add CSS snippets. GREAT!
2023-08-07 Jay Solved the biggest issue I had with Microsoft Edge by adding a hand tool to pdf's so I can move around the document without having to use the scroll bars. I found a thread on Microsoft where users had been requesting this feature for 3 1/2 years from Microsoft with no results.

2021-08-26 D 这个应用完美的解决了EDGE打开PDF后因为渲染问题造成文字变形、虚化的问题，真的非常棒。我在使用过程中，发现一个问题：在没有运行EDGE时，初次打开本地PDF会调用EDGE本身内置的阅读器，不会调用此扩展。而在已经运行了EDGE后，比如随便浏览网页，总之就是打开了EDGE后，再打开本地PDF就会正常调用该扩展，希望能就此问题优化一下，在没有打开EDGE时，初次运行本地PDF也能直接调用此扩展。最后还有一个建议：阅读界面上方工具栏的占比可以再小一些，另外在工具栏中增加浅色深色的切换。
2021-04-21 A Unfortunately there's No options to highlight, cross-out or add notes to pdf text.
2021-03-11 Zvi Highly recommend this. Allows me to quickly search text in a PDF in Edge. Edge's PDF reader's search is slow
2021-01-29 书滨 太棒了，比edge自带的阅读器好用太多，如果可以添加标记功能就更好了，赞！！！
