Hi @Darren36389415nq0v ,

 

Adding to the topic, IE Mode in Edge is slowly being phased out... this is true for some government organizations that have been transitioning to Windows 11 environments.

 

From what you've described, if the core engine of Acrobat works in IE Mode on Microsoft Edge but not when you switch back to Edge Mode, ensure that you have fully upgraded to the new Microsoft Edge.

 

As of last year ( on or around May of 2023), Microsoft and Adobe partnered up to integrate the Adobe Acrobat core engine and replacing MS Edge native PDF viewer with Adobe's.

 

But the full move has been postponed to a later date this year amd through 2025:

 

 

You may want to try and install the new Acrobat extension for Microsoft Edge, which you may download directly at:

NOTE:

So far, it Seems to work well and integrates very good with Microsoft Edge for open source Linux operating systems based on Debian/Ubuntu/Red Hat/Fedora distributions.

Browser PDF viewers and PDF preview tools suck.  The functionality is unreliable and they have been known to corrupt the PDF structure. It is a fools errand to try and use these types of viewers for anything other than viewing.
