Edge Legacy有一个内置的墨迹工具。它允许任何人标记、突出显示、绘制、添加文本和共享PDF文件中的文本。然而,随着Edge转型并开始使用Chromium,所有这些独特的功能都丢失了。好消息是微软(Microsoft)正在将所有这些工具带回新的Edge中。在这篇文章中,我将分享如何在Microsoft Edge Chromium中使用(Microsoft Edge Chromium)PDF 工具(PDF Tool)和墨迹书写功能(Inking Features)。随着工作的成熟,这些工具将不断更新,并且应该与旧版Edge提供的功能相匹配。
Microsoft Edge中的PDF 工具(PDF Tool)和墨迹书写功能(Inking Feature)
当我们说 PDF 工具时,它还包括Inking功能。由于它是大量使用的功能之一,因此它获得了所有亮点。这是当前可用的工具列表
- 在 PDF 文件上着墨
- 文本高亮支持
- 将文本添加到 PDF
Microsoft Edge不支持电子书,因为它已移至Chromium引擎。您将不得不使用第三方应用程序来阅读 ePUB 文件(third-party apps to read ePUB files)。
1]在PDF文件中着墨
当您在Microsoft Edge中打开(Microsoft Edge)PDF文件时,它会同时启动PDF工具栏。这些工具包括两个重要的着墨机制——Draw 和Erase。绘图工具允许您在PDF文件上做笔记、在其上绘图,还可以让您在PDF表单上签名。
单击(Click)工具栏中的“绘图(Draw)”按钮,然后您可以使用鼠标或数字笔或仅使用触摸板进行书写和绘图。要选择颜色,请单击绘图按钮,然后选择笔的颜色和粗细。
如果你画错了,你总是可以使用擦除工具来撤消。如果数字笔有后退按钮,您可以自定义它以删除您最后绘制的内容。
2]文本高亮支持
下一行是文本(Text)突出显示。如果PDF(PDF)中的部分文本很重要,并且您想稍后重新阅读,您可以用不同的颜色突出显示它。要突出显示单个单词或整个段落,请选择它,然后在突出显示菜单下选择一种颜色。在未来的更新中,工具栏中也将提供高亮显示,并允许您直接启用该模式以避免使用绘图功能。
3]将文本添加到PDF
微软(Microsoft)还将改进阅读 PDF 中已有的文本注释的体验,以及在PDF中(PDF)添加文本注释(add text notes on a PDF.)的能力。 它将帮助您为部分PDF文件添加注释。因此,如果您与其他人共享它,这些评论可以包含解释,或者如果文档仍在进行中,作者可以根据您的反馈进一步修改。与 Legacy Edge 相比,它们在对网页和电子书进行注释时会进行一些修改。
也就是说,截至目前,用于注释的墨迹书写工具不适用于网页。它仅适用于PDF文件。可能(May)将来我们也会拥有它。我希望这篇文章易于理解,并且您能够快速了解在PDF文件上使用墨迹工具和文本突出显示。
How to use the PDF Tool & Inking Feature in Microsoft Edge
Edge Legacy has a built-in inking tool. It allowed anyonе to mark, highlight, draw, add text, and share text from the PDF file. Howevеr, as Edge transformed, and started using Chromium, аll these unique features were lost. The good news is that Microsoft is bringing all these tools back to the new Edge. In thіs post, I will share how yoυ can use PDF Tool and Іnking Features in Microsoft Edge Chromium. These tools will keep updating as the work matures, and should match what legacy Edge haѕ оffered.
The PDF Tool & Inking Feature in Microsoft Edge
When we say PDF tool, it also includes the Inking feature. Since it is one of the heavily used functions, it gets all the highlights. Here is the list of tools that are currently available
- Inking on PDF files
- Text highlight support
- Add text to PDF
Microsoft Edge doesn’t support eBooks as it moved to the Chromium engine. You will have to use third-party apps to read ePUB files.
1] Inking in PDF files
When you open the PDF file in Microsoft Edge, it launches the PDF toolbar along with it. The tools, including two significant mechanisms for inking—Draw and Erase. The draw tool allows you to take notes on the PDF files, draw on it, and also let you sign the PDF forms.
Click on the Draw button from the toolbar, and then you can use a mouse or a digital pen or just your touchpad to write and draw. To select a color, click on the draw button, and then choose the color and thickness of the pen.
If you drew something wrong, you could always use the erase tool to undo. If the digital pen has a back-button, you can customize it to delete what you drew last.
2] Text highlight support
Next in the line is Text highlight. If part of the text in the PDF is important, and you want to re-read it later, you can highlight it with different colors. To highlight a single word or complete paragraph, select it, and then choose a color under the highlight menu. The highlight will also become available in the toolbar in a future update and will let you directly enable the mode to avoid using the draw function.
3] Add text to PDF
Microsoft is also going to improve the experience of reading text notes already present in a PDF, and the ability to add text notes on a PDF. It will help you add comments to part of the PDF files. So if you are sharing it with someone else, these comments can include an explanation, or if the document is still work in progress, the author can further modify based on your feedback. They will work the same with a bit of modification as compared to Legacy Edge to annotate webpages and eBooks.
That said, as of now, the inking tools to annotate are not available for webpages. It is only available for PDF files. May be in future we will have it too. I hope the post was easy to follow, and you were able to quickly understand to use the inking tools on PDF files, and text highlight.
