In an announcement on its website, Microsoft says it's replacing Edge's existing PDF viewer with one from Adobe Acrobat, which includes some advanced" features that are available if you're willing to pay for them.
Microsoft markets the integration as a way to give users a unique PDF experience" with higher fidelity for more accurate colors and graphics, improved performance, strong security for PDF handling, and greater accessibility." While Microsoft says that these basic features will stay free and that it won't lose any existing functionality, documents will still display an unobtrusive Adobe brand mark."
