Workaround for edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer but the New PDF View showing blank pages

Hello All -we use Microsoft edge to view PDFs of our vendors invoices. We found that with one vendor the invoices were appearing as a blank page in the browser, I did my research and found it was a known bug with edge for pdf's with a certain logo type or watermark in the header...something to that effect which made sense the way the invoices looked. The fix for this was to Disable the New PDF View option in flags which worked up until now where they don't allow Disabling of that anymore. Since the bug is clearly not fixed, is there another workaround I can supply to the users other then to use another browser.  Additionally is this bug officially logged with Microsoft and is there a reference or issue number I can follow for resolution? 

 

Thanks in advance

  • If disabling the new PDF viewer is no longer an option, there isn't much you can do from the Edge side. A practical workaround is to have affected PDFs open in a desktop PDF reader until Microsoft fixes the rendering issue.

    It may be worth opening a support case or submitting feedback through Edge so your case gets attached if it's already being tracked.
