How to remove frame around Add a Text box on pdf in Edge?

Hi KBRWU

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

 

Based on your description, I understand that you have found that Microsoft Edge (133.0.3065.51) adds a frame around the text when adding text to a PDF, and I understand how you feel!

 

Please allow me to explain that I am just a support person on the forums and not a member of the Microsoft Edge development team.

 

Thank you very much for your feedback my friend, I see that there are very many users with the same problem.

 

So I immediately tested it via my laptop and reproduced the issue without any problem.

 

But the good news is that I found a solution to this problem.

 

Here is a distribution step I wrote.

1. Open the Edge browser.
2. Type "edge://flags" in the search bar at the top.
3. When the page opens, type in and search for PDF.
4. Set “New PDF Viewer” to “Enabled”.
5. Check whether the problem still exists.

 

Because in my test environment, I enabled this setting and the problem disappeared.

 

As shown:

 

Assuming that there are users who have enabled the “New PDF Viewer” feature in their settings, we can also try to disable it to see if the problem still exists.

 

I sincerely hope that the above information and programs will help you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any problems or still can't solve them. (Photos related to the question would be great!).

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Good morning, after trying your method by enabling "New PDF Viewer" the frame around the text is finally gone.
However now the text added previously it is really blurry.
