Opening and reading PDF files in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Whenever I needed to view a pdf I always used Edge because it has a table of contents in the sidebar, but now that I'm using the new Edge, it no longer seems to have that, I was just wondering if this is a feature that hasn't been integrated yet, or if there's an alternate way of getting it back.

The table of contents feature is now available in the Stable release Edge 86 released October 9th.

In addition to the missing Table of Contents, it's also missing the pdf search window. This is really bad. Went back to previous Edge.
When pdf is open you can hit CTRL + F
It will open a rectangle box below the address bar and
type in what ever you looking to find

point them nerds in the right direction.
Kindly inform the Microsoft team that we need the Table of contents feature back to Edge, It's really tough navigating long pdf documents
I agree! It's been such a nightmare with the TOC in the PDF and it's a horror trying to open PDF and feeling like an arm and a leg had been chopped off me forcibly. Totally dislike this so-called updated feature that's shoved down our throats. Dislike!
I agree! I love the search feature and they took it away from us just like that! Really going backwards and inconveniencing so many of us. I hope they will bring it back. Absolute horror to take away from us like that! Annoyed!
