Can't open PDF or word in Edge

[raycpl]

Just installed PDF Reader plus, and browse from within the app for pdfs..

It's troublesome but it works

(edit: On 950XL)
... !

If you're an Insider, check the feedback hub. It's a known issue from 2/14/2018 and MS is working on (with all available resources, meaning two interns on Saturdays only...) see: https://aka.ms/Ukj1a4

Foxit MobilePdf is an outstanding pdf reader/editor, which is light years ahead of anything Edge can do. This is an ideal app especially for the business user

Installed Foxit MobilePDF. Now I can open pdf-files. But not by tapping them because it starts Edge. Only by opening Foxit and browsing the .pdf file.

But this situation (MS update totally destroyed pdf-file support) is inconceivable.

Yes quite annoying, hope it's fixed next patch tuesday. Lots of comments in feedback hub now.

Oh it's conceivable alright when talking Microsoft, they could screw up the Lords Prayer if given the opportunity. Considering WM is in "maintenance mode" how is it that they continue to keep screwing things up, seriously how?

I'm having this issue on desktop. Cannot open PDFs from the web. The error message "Couldn’t open PDF
Something’s keeping this PDF from opening." appears. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem on my Lumia 950. I can only guess it was due to an automatic update in or around February 14th.
I can go as far as opening the PDF file but it just stays blank. I have tried previous PDFs that opened before but don't open now.

You say use the feedback hub to report the problem. How do I access this feedback hub?

You can access feedback from menu in edge. What I don't understand is, this was a known issue. Why didn't they give us option to skip update or roll back? I get off files in email multiple times per day.

Same issue here, noticed since Monday. :angry: Uninstalled Adobe Reader and then discovered it has disappeared from the Store, then installed PDF Reader which at least gives you a choice to browse and select the file. But attached pdfs in outlook or gmail for instance are total damage with Edge, something gone wrong and it's called windows mobile.

Has been fixed, now is ok

Yes, thank you Microsoft. This release fixed something that shouldn't have broke, now issues with photos. Again thank you for the fix, just curious how a update breaks features?
