You can try it out in Chromium with chrome://flags/#pdf-xfa-forms
enabled. There are still many bugs, so it may or may not work well for
your use case.

We have a $$$ application still depends on Edge IE mode because embedded rendering of complex XFA pdf documents is a mandatory requirement. Chromium pdf XFA renderer doesn't work likely due to the bugs Lei mentioned.

Meanwhile we are on a time crunch to get ride of IE mode. Given the urgency I wonder if it is feasible to add a feature to chromium to render pdf using Adobe Acrobat Reader optionally, say based on a flag or switch. The feature only needs to be working on Windows.

Thanks for attention.

1. This would be a question for the Chromium project, not the PDFium project.
2. This is completely infeasible to do quickly.
