"Save as" in embedded PDF behaviour is wrong
Hi all I have noticed that if you click "Save as" in an embedded PDF, the browser tries to save the whole website (HTML) instead of the PDF itself. Because the same in Chrome browser saves the PD...
Hi,
the Save button on the toolbar that Edge provides, correctly saves the file as PDF.
It shouldn't be a bug because websites developers use HTML code to embed PDF in their websites, so it's not pure PDF file but a website that is using other elements to host the PDF. so Edge correctly tries to capture the whole page when you right-click and save.
in this case the save button on the Edge toolbar should be used to save the PDF file only.

HotCakeX Sure, the save button works. But it is not intuitively because the normal user expect to get the PDF saved. As I mentioned this is also the case in Chrome browser.
- Yes but as I said it's PDF embedded, not directly opening PDF file. a website developer can embed multiple files next to each other with other HTML contents between them. browser can't possible know which one user wants when right-clicking and choosing save.
that option is for the whole page and web pages are written in HTML.
