We are trying to Enable this PDFSecure Mode in Edge Browser so that we can validate / open Digitally Signed PDF Documents in Edge Browser.

As per MS Edge Policy Document we found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#pdfsecuremode

We created this Registry Entry PDFSecureMode with Value 1 as per the Document but its not working

Windows Registry Settings
Path (Mandatory): SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
Path (Recommended): N/A
Value Name: PDFSecureMode
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x00000001

Can anyone help us to achieve this ? any document or any suggestion ? am i missing something here ? Please help

Hi @Pravin Harsure

For better understanding the issue, I want to confirm the following things with you:

Which version of Edge and OS do you use?

Could you please navigate to edge://policy/ to check if the policy has been applied successfully? If the policy is applied successfully, it will show like this in the page:

You say the policy is not working, could you please elaborate more about how it doesn't work? Is that you can't see the digital signature or anything else? You can also provide a screenshot of the issue so that we can have a better understanding.

Hi @Anonymous

Edge Version :- 106 (Latest Release) OS :- Windows 10 21H2

I have two machines one is my Company and another is Personal (In Company Machine Browser is Managed by Organisation via GPO)

When i Enable this Policy on my Personal Machine by Creating Registry its working as expected you can see that in snaps attached below.

But when i tried to perform this my my Company Laptop this is not working the option to Validate Digital signature is not there.

just wanted to know is there anything blocking to enable this any Policy or something like that ?

Hi @Pravin Harsure

As you say your company computer is managed by organization via GPO, there might be some GPOs set by your organization which conflict with the GPO you set by yourself locally. GPOs set in different level have different privileges. I think that's why it doesn't work in your company computer. AFAIK, there's no other reasons which will blocking the policy.

If you want to set PDFSecureMode policy, I suggest that you can consult your IE department and ask them to configure the policy in organization. Thanks for your understading.
