When the content-type header from the server is application/pdf I'm getting a blank Print Preview window in Microsoft Edge. See

In other browsers the Print Preview window works as expected.

Are any extra headers for Edge, in order to resolve this? If not, what is likely to be the solution?

  • Which version of Microsoft Edge are you using, and is this PDF publicly accessible? I am an engineer on the Edge team, and have received one other report of this issue from another user. I'd love to look into it further. – Sampson Aug 18 '16 at 17:45
  • @Sampson I'm using Microsoft 25.10586.0.0 Microsoft EdgeHTML 13.10586 version of edge . Pdf is not publicly accessible and more over it is dynamically generated from backend – Sravan Chithari Aug 19 '16 at 04:47
  • How are you generating the PDF, and what other headers are you sending? – Sampson Aug 19 '16 at 21:26
  • Content-Disposition: inline; filename*=UTF-8''abc.pdf Content-Type: application/pdf for Edge browser i tried with or without additional header "X-UA-Compatible : IE=edge" but did not worked out. – Sravan Chithari Aug 21 '16 at 18:14
  • What server-side library do you use to generate the PDF? Please provide as much detail as you possibly can; I'd like to setup a similar environment on my end for further testing. If you could stand up an identical environment that I could access, that would be very helpful. – Sampson Aug 22 '16 at 02:51
  • I'm using com.lowagie.text-2.1.7.jar for generating the pdf .My observation was that getting blank print preview in edge browser when i rendered pdf on html elements like object , emded ,iframe ,form coming from backend with headers Content-Type:application/pdf and Content-Disposition:inline; .please find my sample code(written in java) in this https://github.com/SravanChithari13/PdfPoc . Please run this code and open in edge .after rendering pdf on page use browser print option so that you get to know the problem – Sravan Chithari Sep 06 '16 at 04:16

  • Unfortunately I don't have a fix, but we are experiencing this issue as well. PDFs are generated with MigraDoc and PdfSharp, but they print blank on Edge and only on Edge. – chkimes Nov 02 '16 at 15:06
