Windows 10: Saving a PDF file opened in Edge

Until recently, a file opened in Edge could be saved by "right clicking", selecting "Save" and then saving to the target directory on Surface.


Now the "Save" functionality is greyed out i.e. saving is not possible so you have to print to PDF which takes longer.


Any idea on how to resolve this? Thanks.

microsoft print to pdf files will not open after saving

We suggest that you save the PDF files on your device and check if the issue persists. You may also want to associate the PDF files to Microsoft Edge as the default program to make sure that you have a default application that will open all of your PDF files.
Here are the steps:

• Search for Default Programs.
• Go to Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
• Select the .pdf file type and then click the Change program button on the upper right of the
  Set Associations window.
• Choose Microsoft Edge and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Edge will not open PDF files

1st before answering please note these things have already been checked

• Edge has all its program defaults, already checked and verified
• Edge is the default PDF handler, already verified
• Edge cleared reset
• reset IE11
• Made sure IE11 has all it's defaults except is not the default browser, edge is

Here is what happens, click a PDF, edge opens with a blank window

then IE 11 pops up asking of I want to save or open the file

Mind you the file is already on the hard drive

If you click save, of course it saves it, if you click OPEN, edge comes back, opens another blank tab and then IE 11 comes back asking to save the file.

If I right click the pdf file and choose open with, and pick IE11, it also asks to save but will not display the pdf doc

Any pdf doc

There are no error messages at all

The PC only has windows 10 installed, no adobe, no 3rd party apps etc

This happened apparently after the latest updates, no none MS induced changes have been done to the PC

Now, how does one fix this?

 

How to save a displayed pdf file in Microsoft Edge?

I still cannot save the document as a pdf file. Even though I select save as and have .pdf as the file type, it is a link and opens in Edge and not in a pdf reader where I want to mark it up. Does anyone have any suggestions?
