Hi RoderickQiu, if I understand you right, you are saying that the file name of the pdf file is wrong in Microsoft Edge, but the contents of the pdf file are correct.  Can you open the same pdf file in another reader, and make sure that it is displayed correctly?  Can you either link the file or tell us how the file name has been encoded?  Thanks - Elliot

Elliot KirkIt seems to be the problem of Chrome PDF renderer? I tried this document in another Chromium browser and it also occurs.

Anyway, many documents that have the problem are from the website CNKI. For some pdfs which renderer cannot comprehend the title (and only show its filename as the title), it just works fine in Chinese.

Cannot link a file because tech-community isn't supporting that, and I'm only using Chinese netdisk services.
