Re: Open links to PDF files internally in Edge

Hi ChenaeF, I would like to Bump this thread, as I have the exact same issue with Edge Browser, but with Windows Holographic build on the HoloLens 2.

Scenario: I am trying to open a PDF within the Edge web browser, and then have the browser navigate to Page 2 of the PDF: https://website.com/example.pdf#page=2

In Windows Holographic (HoloLens 2), the Edge browser opens the link and then immediately downloads the .pdf file (instead of opening internally, and redirecting to page 2 with "#page=2").

I have already configured the Edge Browser setting, "Always open PDF files externally" to Disabled.

The PDF still downloads, and then I still need to click, "Open File", and then I still need to (manually) navigate to Page 2 of the .PDF 😞

A separate (but similar) issue is that I cannot set Edge as my Default PDF Viewer in Windows Holographic. The Edge Browser asks, "Set Microsoft Edge as the default application for reading PDF files? (Set as default)." -> But then when I click the button, it says, "Microsoft Edge couldn't be set as your default PDF reader. (Learn more)" and does not give me any ways to fix this issue. I have submitted a Feedback Hub request for this issue at: https://aka.ms/AAkwp7b and hopefully this issue can finally get some attention.

Thanks!
