Can someone help me with this.

I want to edit a pdf file on Microsoft Edge. It was fine with the English language; but I can't type Chinese characters, like they just disappear.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

    Hello whitedaspace,

    I know this was posted quite a while ago, but it looks like this thread has gotten a lot of votes and views recently so I wanted to check in and see if you (or anyone landing on this thread via search) are still seeing this behavior on the latest version of Microsoft Edge?

    Yes, the latest Edge still having that problem. I tried to add the Chinese language in setting but it didn't work.

    Hello whitedaspace, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

    I understand that you are having problems editing a .PDF file in Chinese characters;

    Initially I recommend that you try to add the Chinese Language to Edge;

    Open Edge and click (...) in the upper right corner of the screen to access Settings;

    Click on Languages ​​on the left;

    Click on Add Languages ​​and add the Chinese language;

    Close Edge and open it again;

    Check if you are now able to edit the file in Chinese;

    Hope this helps, see you soon!
