I just downloaded the new edition of edge and now when I open PDFs I do not see the option to highlight. Does anyone know?

2020-07-31T07:05:31+00:00 Hi there -
Was this issue solved? I just upgraded to the new Edge, lost the highlight feature for PDFs, followed the instructions in this thread ("turned 'on' via the edge//flag..."), and I *still* can't highlight in my PDF's. The only option is to "draw" in them. I have a Microsoft Surface Tablet, so use the 'pen' stylo to highlight.
Please advise! I want the old Edge back :-(
I have the same issue. Tried using my stylus and it just won't work.
