PDFs in Edge

By default, Windows  is set up to have Edge as the default browser and to use that to open PDF files. So if you click a PDF link in a web page, you'll be able to read it in your browser, just like any other web page. And if you open a PDF file from Explorer or a PDF that you get as a mail attachment, again it opens in Edge.

The issue is that Edge doesn't have any other tools for working with PDFs nor is it compatible with JavaScript code which may be used by SnappyFORMS' interactive PDF forms to handle auto calculation, ability to edit form fields and other form features. Using Edge, you can't highlight text, add comments or fill in forms, so if you're used to using the Adobe Acrobat plugin in Explorer or the Microsoft Reader app in Windows 8.1, the PDF support in Edge feels rather minimal. Oddly, you can't use the annotation feature in Edge with PDF files, even though they load as if they're web pages. When you select the pen icon in the toolbar to make a Web Note, you just get an error message.

To resolve the issue and continue using SnappyFORMS like before make sure that you have not been opening the forms using Edge.

In terms of solutions, use SnappyFORMS ONLY with Adobe Reader which is a free download from www.Adobe.com.
