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?

    You have to copy/paste the file and then rename it. Then you can cancel the download and it will remove the .crdownload file.

    If I try to change the .crdownload file to .pdf it says it can't because the file is still open.

    If I cancel the download the file dissappears so I can't try this workaround.

    Thanks! This works for me while Microsoft admits this is a bug and then solves it.
