"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...

HotCakeX But why does the browser than know, that Print and Rotate is only for the embedded PDF and NOT for the whole page?

That's obvious, because it's the whole page and not a PDF file.

    HotCakeX  No, it is not obvious.  If I click to Rotate only the PDF is rotated not the whole page:

      That's what should happen.
      Edge doesn't have page rotate, only PDF rotate.
      there is nothing wrong with that.

        HotCakeX But how can a normal user know, what the target is for? We have one context menu but multiple targets:

         

        Save asis for the whole page
        Printis for the PDF only
        Rotate clockwiseis for the PDF only
        Rotate counterwiseis for the PDF only

         

        And further more, the same context menu in Chrome has "Save as" only for the PDF.

         

        I think we do not find an agreement on that 🙂

         

        I have opened a Support Request to address this. It is not obvious IMO.
