How to mark up a document

Microsoft Edge is now a great PDF reader that is quick and simple to use. While DocHub is a powerful PDF editor, Edge is faster and easier to access, especially for those already using Windows 10 or 11. To open a PDF in Edge, simply find the file in File Explorer and double-click. For users with another PDF program like DocHub, you can right-click on the file and choose to open with Edge. Edge offers a new PDF toolbar with tools for viewing and changing settings such as zoom and page layout. Touch functionality is smooth, allowing for easy zooming and scrolling. The pen and highlighter icons in Edge make it super simple to mark up PDFs.
