How do I change the PDF settings in Edge?

Published in Microsoft Edge 2 mins read

To change the PDF settings in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Microsoft Edge browser.
  2. Access Settings: Click on the three horizontal dots (ellipsis) in the top-right corner of the browser window to open the main menu. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Navigate to Cookies and Site Permissions: In the Settings menu, either select "Cookies and site permissions" from the left-hand navigation panel, or use the search bar at the top of the Settings page and type "PDF".
  4. Find PDF Documents Settings: In the "Cookies and site permissions" section (or after searching for "PDF"), scroll down or look for "PDF documents". Click on this option.
  5. Adjust PDF Settings: Here, you'll find options related to how Edge handles PDF files. A primary setting is "Always download PDF files". When enabled, Edge will always download PDFs instead of opening them in the browser. If disabled (default setting), Edge will open PDFs in the browser's built-in PDF viewer. You can toggle this setting to suit your needs.

Summary: Changing the PDF settings in Edge involves navigating to the "Cookies and site permissions" section within the browser's Settings menu and then adjusting the "PDF documents" options according to your preferences.
