Annotating Digitally

Using Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer

The Microsoft Edge Browser allows for annotations to be done natively.

If you browse a pdf and open it, the annotation options will be available right inside the browser. If you have a pdf file that you would like to annotate using Microsoft Edge, simply use the Open With option and select the Microsoft Edge option. If you have not installed any other pdf viewers on your computer, Windows 10 will use Microsoft Edge as its default pdf viewer.
