MS Edge: PDF Text Clipping and Zoom Out Issue

Hi! Shivam. Thanks for the details.

Here are the most common fixes for your issue:

1. Disable Hardware Acceleration (Rendering Bug Fix)

This is the #1 fix for clipped annotations when zooming:

Go to edge://settings/system

Turn Off: Use hardware acceleration when available

Restart Edge.

Edge’s PDF engine sometimes misrenders vector text layers when GPU rendering is enabled.

2. Reset PDF Rendering Engine (Experimental Flag)

Edge has an experimental PDF renderer that can cause clipping:

Go to: edge://flags

Search for: "PDF viewer new rendering engine"

Set it to Disabled (or Enabled, if it’s currently disabled — try both ways).

Restart Edge.

This forces Edge to switch between legacy and new rendering modes, which often resolves zoom-related bugs.

3. Update Edge to the Latest Version

Some builds (especially in 2024–2025 releases) had PDF annotation zoom bugs that were patched later:

• Go to edge://settings/help
• Make sure it says Microsoft Edge is up to date.

4. Use Print-to-PDF or Save-As PDF Workaround

If you’re exporting or sharing the annotated file:

Use Print → Save as PDF after annotating — this re-renders the text layer and removes clipping in the final document.

See if this helps. If you need further assistance, just let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly

Edit:

Fix #1 didn't work, but Fix #2 solved the Text clipping problem.

The Zoom problem persists.

Would you know any other fix for this ?
