Looks like the team opened and resolved this bug over the past week! It seems to have primarily affected older builds. If you're still seeing it, can you please comment below with the version number (from edge://settings/help) and submit feedback through the browser? (Shift+Alt+I)

The thing was that all of the sudden it didn't work anymore without me changing anything.
When I restarted my pc a day later it worked again so I still have no clue why it even happened.
So at the moment it seems to work again without changing anything.

  Well that's good but the OP had problem with file name. your PDF not working (which i don't know what it exactly means) could have had a different reason

    It wasn't really about the file name but edge opening multiple tabs for the pdf.
    This could be because something about the name was off but I doubt it because after a reset it fixed it self with the file and location unchanged.
