MS edge doesn't render my pdf file

Question

Hello

I have some problem.

I'm creating an web page that is creating a pdf file, from text I write its content in html element. After that I'm adding header, content from another html elements and all sends throuh MS outlook mail.

Everything looks nice when using firefox, when MS edge, my beutiful pdf file is not rendered.

The file is ok, because, as I mentioned, firefox handles it with smile on its face.

pdf file conent is

Hi @Wojciech Sobiesiak,

Everything looks nice when using firefox, when MS edge, my beutiful pdf file is not rendered.

I tested with the PDF content you provided, in Edge, Chrome, Adobe Acrobat they all show a white background, only in Firefox is a black background, I guess this is the rendering problem you mentioned, right?

I tried to make a simple modification in the file (drawing a simple pattern with a brush), save it and open the file again. You'll notice that in Firefox, its background color changes from black to white. You can also see in the print preview that the background color is white instead of black. So I think this rendering is correct in Microsoft Edge.

Based on the above, I'm guessing it might instead be a problem with rendering in Firefox.

Best regards,

Xudong Peng

Now it works, but let's not close this topic yet, I'm finishing authorization project (adding some logs) and will be making some improvements to this "pdf creator" because found it very interesting.

I had restarted browser, maybe that helped, but I remember that I thougth "I'm lacky I used firefox because with MS Edge would see nothing and learn nothing".
