Marquee zoom required on Chrome/Edge

Hi Team,

Is there an extension for Chrome/Edge with marquee zoom option available when viewing the .pdf file?

I use this option with IE, but because this browser is retiring slowly and I've made Edge as a default browser I would like to be able to use this feature with Edge/Chrome too.

Found the workaround by downloading the file and then opening with Adobe but looking for better solution.

 

Thank you in advance 😊

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Chrome and Edge do not use Adobe software - and also do not allow extensions. So, probably not.


@Agnieszka22271331lkvm,

This is in reply to the private message you sent me. 

 

#1 This product community is for questions about ADOBE made products. Adobe does not make browsers or browser extensions.

 

#2 Google makes Google Chrome.  Suggest you seek extensions directly from the Google Chrome Web Store.  Likewise, Microsoft makes MS Edge.  Consult the Microsoft Edge Add-ons page.

 

Good luck & Happy Holidays.

@Agnieszka22271331lkvm,

The onboard PDF viewers in most browsers are notoriously inferior.  For best results, open PDFs directly in paid Acrobat Pro DC or the FREE Acrobat Reader.  Also make Acrobat your computer's default PDF viewer.

 

FREE Acrobat Reader -- view, comment, print & sign PDF.

Paid Acrobat Pro DC -- the complete solution for creating and saving PDF.

Hope that helps.

Aga, which Adobe software or service is your question in relation to?

Hi Jeff,

 

Thank you for coming back to me.

It's for viewing pdf docs online.

When I view the .pdf file via Internet Explorer, I have the marquee zoom / magnifer with plus sign option available - as below. 

 

 

This option is not available on Edge or Chrome.

 

Kind regards,

Aga
