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 PDF file. And it is also not expected, as the other function like Rotate and Print are meant for the PDF and not for the whole website.
Try out here: https://www.w3docs.com/tools/code-editor/1077
Just tested with Stable 80, Beta 81 and latest CAN build.
Is this a bug or a feature?

@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.

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

@HotCakeX But how can a normal user know, what the target is for? We have one context menu but multiple targets:
Save as | is for the whole page |
is for the PDF only | |
Rotate clockwise | is for the PDF only |
Rotate counterwise | is 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.

@HotCakeX This issue has been addressed and fixed by Microsoft. It works since DEV 86.0.602.0.
