Set-up

Edit pdf in edge setting is to prevent the bitmap issue and is enabled per user basis, to enable it for specific users, users with at least tech 2 training can enable this.

To enable it for specific users follow the below steps:

  1. Open ‘User Profile Extended Fields’

  2. Select the user

  3. On the right tab make sure to select (highlight) ‘Edit Pdf in Edge

  4. Press update and change the no to yes. (If its blank for the specific user change it to yes).

See below example:


User Side- Instructions (Users can follow the below instructions)

Once the above is done make sure the user has Edge set as the default browser (ignore this step if edge is your only browser). To see if its enabled press the start button and search for default apps and press enter (see below):

Once opened search for ‘Edge’

Select Edge and select the first option “Make Microsoft Edge your default browser”

Once the change has been made in user profiles extended fields, get the user to sign out of proclaim and back in.

User will now be able to amend documents in edge instead of proclaim’s default pdf editing tool.

Saving changes made to pdfs is done by the floppy drive icon in the top right corner as highlighted below;

The save button will appear grey however once you’ve added text into a field and either selected another field with your mouse or pressed the tab key the save button will light up allowing the user to press it.
