Edge suddenly stopped completing downloading PDFs after update yesterday. Cant uninstall. All files remain as "Unconfirmed XXXXX.crdownload". Tried all usual fixes, AV, clear history, turn off all extensions, repair/reinstall, different folder, etc. Chrome and all other browsers save just fine! Saving as webpages works fine too, just save as PDF does not.

    Wow, I can't believe you got such a quick response from the MS feedback black hole! Good job!

    Awesome! Thanks for the detailed solution. I had assumed System Update would update Edge; didn't think about updating via Edge itself. Much obliged.

    Print to PDF is not an equal workaround! Print to PDF creates a pdf file that lacks searchable text. So does CutePDF.

    Save as PDF, when it worked, created a pdf file that had searchable text.

    Please restore the Save as PDF functionality right away.

    Hi all, the PDF is now working in printing but another problem has now occurred again on saving a PDF this time when I am trying to save from outlook. I keep getting pages full of gibberish.

    Anyone else seeing this issue after the fix?
