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.

    I am having the same thing here. Chinese character can be inputted. But just not displayed in Edge.

    My Edge version is 103.0.1264.21 (Official build) beta (64-bit) with Win11 pro 21H2 (22000.739).

    I really like Edge as PDF tool, esp. for "Add text" function. Hope it can be fixed soon.

    Yes, this issue still remains on the latest version, also, “add text ” function only available when edge is displayed in English, but the Chinese characters issue is still there.

    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。

    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!

    It still doesn't work in the latest Microsoft edge update
