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,

    15th March 2023 - SOLUTION: download Mozilla Firefox Browser!!! Different scripts like Chinese and Korean will show up on there and you can add text in different colours and draw on the PDF similar to what you can do on Edge.

    试出来一个怪方法：

    1、用Edge创建一个带中文的批注（会消失，但是没关系），保存文件；

    2、用Acrobat PDF Reader打开文件，这时候刚才消失的批注又显示出来了。随便编辑一下中文批注，保存；

    3、再用Edge打开。这时Edge就可以随意编辑中文了，拉一个新的文本框也不会有问题，但换另一个文件就还得从1重新操作一遍。

    猜测是文档编码的问题，不过我是能用就行主义者，也不太了解背后机制，欢迎大佬深究。

    顺便：要问为什么不直接用Acrobat，2中的Acrobat是免费版，文档编辑功能只有7天试用；但先用Edge创建一个文本框，就可以绕过试用限制了。

    As of 31 March 2023, the problem is solved (to me), I use both Mozilla Firefox way (as Jimmy Hellas suggested) and the "weird" way that Joey Wang2 suggested, both works! Try it out people :)))

    To translate Joey's way,

    Use Microsoft Edge to add Mandarin characters (unsure with other languages), save the pdf even though the characters may disappear, open again and voila! The characters are still there, now you can continue with your work!

    Remark : For solution No. 2, you have to repeat the same action for every different PDF.
