FYI regarding PDFs

Feedback: Following "Try It" request.

I tried this in both Dev & Canary.  I used the highlighted method. They opened fine, all 'controls' worked just fine.  Whole effort was or seemed snag-free.



Cheers,
Drew

  • I am pleased to hear that most of you are having good experiences with the PDF changes that we have enabled.  SCook1280, If you wouldn't mind, can you use the in-app feedback (send-a-smile) to report this issue?  That will give us some telemetry that may help us better understand what is going on.  I have already tipped the PDF team off to your issue.  Thanks to everyone who has tried out our PDF functionality.

      Elliot Kirk  I have reported the issue through smiley ☺ and included a link to this discussion. It was a setting toggle that was switched on causing the problem . I can reproduce the issue by turning the setting back on again. This might be something that someone with better troubleshooting experience than me might try to see if its something that needs looked into more. Never know who else might change this setting in the future and experience the same issue.If there's anything else that you need from me just let me know.

      Elliot, the issue scook had was corrected.  Was not a bug.  A Setting toggle was in the wrong position.  All ok, now.

      However, please 🙏, take the Full screen issue to the Edge C Team.  That scenario must (continue) to function as it does in Edge.

      Oh & BTW, would you, please, check your PMs?  Thanks 👍🙂

      Cheers,
      Drew

    Sad to say it's not working at all for me. I've tryed severial times and all I get is an option to save to my downloads and never able to open them in the browser. This is happening no matter if the file is on the web or on my computer. I've set Edge Dev as my default for opening .pdf and as my default web browser. One question I have is this just working with the canary builds because I'm using the beta version. Drew1903

      For me, the down loads show in the lower left of the browser where I am able to click it and it opens the file in the browser.......

        I also have them popup at the same place but when I click on them it just goes back to downloading window again. I'm not sure if this is user error or a bug but I'm thinking a bug. I probably tried about a dozen times changing different settings and from different locations no luck. If anyone has any  suggestions of something to try I'll try it. Other than that I'll wait for the next update and try again. Dennis5mile
