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,

    Whether you use Mozilla Firefox or to edit thru Microsoft Edge (two different ways), it only shows when you use Adobe Acrobat Reader (mine is 64bit) to read the file, I've tried to read the same file thru other browsers, doesn't work at all (Microsoft Edge / Google Chrome / Opera / Firefox and etc).

    So please ensure your supplier/client/colleague has Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to read your files with special characters (sad)

    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 newest Version 114.0.1823.67 (Official build) (64-bit) still met the same problem
