PDF Software within Microsoft 365

I think that Microsoft should create a PDF viewer / editor that includes the ability to request and sign documents within the Microsoft 365 suite of apps. This currently sorta exists on Edge, but I think that this would be a great standalone app. It could be called "MS PDF" or "PDF 365". It would really make buying the MS 365 Suite a lot more attractive.

    Microsoft Edge already includes a built-in PDF reader that is part of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and is designed to be a secure, reliable PDF solution for many everyday scenarios. It can open local PDFs, online PDFs, and PDFs embedded in web pages, and supports annotations such as ink and highlighting across Windows and macOS.

    For more advanced PDF workflows (editing, converting, signing, and integration with Microsoft 365 apps), Microsoft currently relies on partner integrations rather than a separate first-party “MS PDF” or “PDF 365” app. Examples include:

    • Adobe integrations with OneDrive, SharePoint, and Outlook that provide PDF creation, viewing, and signing capabilities directly within those services.
    • Third-party PDF solutions such as Foxit PDF Editor Cloud, which integrate with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to convert documents to PDF and work with PDFs inside Microsoft 365.

    These integrations allow organizations and individuals to choose the PDF solution that best fits their needs while still working within Microsoft 365. Feedback about wanting a dedicated, first-party PDF viewer/editor with signing capabilities would need to be submitted through Microsoft’s official feedback channels for Microsoft 365 and Office apps so it can be considered by the product teams.
