Microsoft Edge will switch to Adobe Acrobat’s PDF rendering engine
-
Microsoft and Adobe have partnered to integrate the Adobe Acrobat PDF rendering engine directly into the Edge browser, replacing the existing PDF engine.
Does this mean Edge will start asking if you want to upgrade every time you use it?
Ohwait, it already does

There's a reason for this. Years ago a colleague was working on PDF manipulation code and reported that the format has no consistancy. That PDFs even render is a miracle.

I totally agree, had to work on PDF manipulation code as well and it's a total mess.

I guess swapping the browser core to Chrome meant Edge didn't have enough vulnerabilities so they decided to bake Acrobats into it to fix that problem and make it more pwnable.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
