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,

    on behalf of all Mandalorians. This is the way!

    I have a solution that consistently works for me. Apparently, Microsoft is partnering with Adobe to bring an "improved" PDF editor, which is apparently just the old one but with fixes and optimisations. One of those fixes seems to be this very issue.

    All you have to do is enable the flag: #edge-new-pdf-viewer

    To do so, paste this in your address bar: edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer

    Then, restart. Chinese/unicode rendering fixes seem to have been added only to the new PDF viewer in the latest update. After doing this, I experienced absolutely no problems trying to annotate Chinese characters.

    Czech works for me after enabling the new PDF editor.

    It fixes this and adds an Adobe advert as a bonus 🤡
