Unable use the draw feature on PDF using edge anymore on my mac, it worked before

Anonymous

It seems I cannot use the draw feature on pdf anymore on my mac using edge.

Its strange because it used to work perfectly a few months ago, and the draw feature still appears on the tool bar. However, when I draw a line I can see it but it just don't stay there, it disappears once I finish drawing. What kind of bug is that? Please help.

For anyone reaching this thread post August 2024 who still can't get a PDF with ink strokes to save in Edge, here's an actual fix that worked for me:
1. Go to edge://flags
2. Search for: PDF Viewer
3. Set "New PDF Viewer" to disabled
4. Restart Edge
To check whether this has worked for you, open a PDF in Edge, draw/ink on it, then check whether the Save button shows as enabled.

PS: answers.microsoft.com is frustratingly ripe with "MVPs" who appear to be incapable providing help beyond "reset / restart / reinstall"
Please take time to provide negative feedback on the people who provide useless advice, so that Microsoft can see that they're not helping.
