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?

    I can confirm that with "Microsoft Edge Canary" the "Save as PDF" works, and that the PDF is editable.

    You can install the Microsoft Edge Canary from here: Become a Microsoft Edge Insider | Microsoft Edge

    The Microsoft Edge Canary gets installed side-by-side with the Microsoft Edge public version, so you can continue to use the stable version for all the other functionality and print in PDF with the Canary version.

    Alternatively, you can install Google Chrome and use that one to print in PDF format.

    Fuzzy John - you got the process.

    An added bit of information - I have found the only way to completely stop EDGE is to use TASK MANAGER - by doing that it will leave the CRDOWNLOAD file on computer and it can be renamed.

    Hey, it is a pain.

    Oh! It looks like when Version 121.0.2275.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) gets released as the updated EDGE the problem will go away. Been playing with the CANARY version this morning.

    Sounds like my way is simpler.
