Why 'Save as Pdf' is not working properly on Edge browser?

I have a problem with printing from the latest version of Microsoft Edge. When I select some text on the browser and choose Print → 'Save As Pdf', the download starts but never finishes. How can I fix this? Is this a common issue for all the users of the latest version of Edge?

I have tried restating the PC, Resetting the browser, stopping all the extension etc. to fix it. but it doesn't work? Should I switch to Chrome?

    Every user in my Entra tenant has the same problem as well.

    Why is there two PDF options to begin with? I'm glad we can work around it by selecting Microsoft Print to PDF, but does there really need to be two options to begin with? Prefer that only the working option appears.

    Hi rleners,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I had uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome several times and still had the problem of it opening and then immediately closing

    but yesterday I tried that again and so far it's working.

    Very glad for that.

    I have the same problem as of a couple days ago. I've tried all the suggested fixes and nothing works.

    Hopefully Microsoft will fix it. I use the "Save as pdf" function a lot and really miss it.
