i'm trying to create a microsoft edge extension to save pdf edits automatically. Can i inject a script to a file uri scheme. ie, file:///example.pdf. (this is my browser screenshot). There is a save button on right-top of the screen.i want to autoclick that button when an edit occurs.but i need to inject a file to that tab. what code should i include in manifest file?

or any of the browser will support this feature?

Extensions can't click this button because the viewer is a part of the built-in UI. – wOxxOm Apr 21 '22 at 06:32
@wOxxOm why i can't inject a js script into this tab? does file:/// uri scheme support script injections? – Alwin Varghese Apr 21 '22 at 15:44
The UI of the viewer is not accessible for extensions. It's not a part of the page. – wOxxOm Apr 21 '22 at 16:09
@wOxxOm is there any solution for this? – Alwin Varghese Apr 22 '22 at 04:54
No, there isn't, but if you're lucky the viewer may expose the save command via its [undocumented API](https://stackoverflow.com/a/61076939), which is up to you to explore. – wOxxOm Apr 22 '22 at 06:33
