    Hi Chelsea,

    Microsoft Edge does not support ActiveX plugins.

    Please have a look at this: Change in support for Acrobat and Reader plug-ins in modern web browsers

    Thanks,

    So that means if I used to put 'special sauce' from Adobes ADSRE into my pdfs and then have them signed inside the IE browser, that no longer works the same way under Edge/Chrome?  Just looking for a straight answer. 

     

    I get we can force the browser to spit the pdf out and open it in Adobe Reader outside the Edge/Chrome browser, but that is a very different experience for our users.  They have to click the signature field (normal), which then prompts you to save the pdf file again, over itself is what I've done, then click our icon to Send/Save it back to our server for us to store (we don't use any of the Adobe Server solutions) in our db.

     

    Thanks,

    If the Edge/Chrome PDF plugins don't support that, then no.
