Hi
@adont_hither Try this
Open brave://settings/content/pdfDocuments?search=pdf and check “download pdf”
If you have docx extension, disable it.
If not working, try downloading in a private window by holding CTRL+SHIFT+N

You can test downloading both files:
Also, you might use Microsoft Word, to create a simple .docx file . . . and then upload that file to this web page of your Original Post (“Cannot download . . .”). And then test downloading that .docx file.
Test files that have as their filenames:
–
In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to:
brave://settings/content/pdfDocuments
and Enable: ‘Open PDFs in Brave’
. . . has worked. Possibly because, if Brave Browser’s PDF handler(s) can get the PDF file open and [pre-]view-able, then the file will download . . . and focusing on that task is accomplished. Focus, meaning, the download is frontmost - instead of possibly some background task. Maybe. It’s a theory.
But overall, I have found in Brave Community > PDF issues, that non- alpha-numeric characters in PDF filenames, may cause PDF downloads of such files, to fail.
