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?

    Exactly right. That's how I do it too.

    Just Downloaded December 12 update and I now have the same problem. Tried re-installing Adobe and Edge is up to date with same result. Sometimes I think these updates do more harm then good. There should be a way to reverse an update if it does not work properly. Thank you for the work around.

    Select file, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, cancel download, rename copied file.

    Copy the .crdownload file and paste it. After that you can rename the copy. Do not forget to change the .crdownliad extension to .pdf too..

    Somebody posted here that the Edge update that will land tomorrow, Dec 15, will have this fixed. Unfortunately I can't find that post any longer.
