I've researched, cleared caches, and downloaded other PDF readers from the store to no luck ...
Since fixing a MAPS error with a Hard Reset, I've found that I can't open PDFs on my phone anymore. With Windows 10 on my Lumia 650 phone, the default/only way to see PDFs were (add still are) through EDGE.
When I click the file, whether it's on- or off-line, it would appear to proceed and open how it use to but end up saying:
Here is the converted link from an offline PDF file that accompanies the Message above (..the same prefix appears with online PDF files):
ms-appx-web:///assets/errorpages/ErrorPages.html?error=100000#file:///C:/Data/USERS/Public/Documents/EM_2018_schedule.pdf
When I email this and other PDFs to myself or click on PDFs online and open them on my PC, I'm able to see the file through EDGE without problems/error/issue.

Addresses issue in which PDFs cannot be rendered in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Phones.
Reading all these reply's i understand that yes there are many work arounds, however the one fix that can not be carried out is to get the useless programmers at Microsoft to fix their problem, why should we put ourselves out for them when they are doing nothing but causing us problems.
Kind regards
Russell.
Until Microsoft delivers the fix, there is a resolution!

II. when you want to read a PDF on the internet, simply use another browser! I tried UC BROWSER. UC Browser also is free available in the Windwos App Store.
With THIS browser you can choose to download the pdf on the web.
They will be saved in a UC browser folder.
Then you have to use Foxit to open the PDF. It works, I tested this on my Lumia650.

Thanks, it is a more complete workaround than just using Foxit. To combine it with an alternate browser is a good idea.
Thanks but this "resolution / fix / work around" has already been posted several times in this thread, but it's still only useful if the pdf is an attachment in Outlook, if it's a link there is no option to download or save to your device. This is the same for other apps which link to pdfs, if there's no option to save or download it won't work!
Read carefully WindowsPhoneLover: it really is possible to download a pdf from a weblink, and yes this was the first post about it ;)
Just use the UC Browser in stead of Edge, he will ask you what to do with the pdf (unlike Edge). I only installed Foxit and UC BrowserHD on my windowsphone, and I am able to open all PDF's on the internet :)
Still, I fear we will have to wait until the next patch Tuesday for the definitive fix though...

Oh well, better said, a work around :)
I. to read PDF's in e-mail, save them, and open de PDF separately with FOXIT.
Foxit is free available in the Windwos App Store.

I know, I know, this 'method' costs a lot more time!
BUT at least, now you are able to open ALL PDF's.
