Attempting to open pdf file on one particular website results in error
PDF.js v2.0.673 (build: 31012570)
Message: PDFDocument: stream must have data
The website is to load a bill from an insurance company. Their support is useless–they say “Use Internet Explorer”
This does work in Chromium, so I was hoping it would be workable in Brave. I am ready to leave Firefox. It does not work in Firefox.
I know you can’t be responsible for compatibility with every website, but was hoping for a hint to troubleshoot. Have not found any way to open pdfs in system pdf viewer either, which might be another approach.
I believe the pdf in question is being created on the fly from their database. UbuntuMate 18.04 LTS Brave 0.66.99
To download, I would usually “save link as”, and I assume that is what you mean. The only thing I get from that is pageload.html, not the pdf. As I understand it, that is because the pdf doesn’t even exist until after the button is clicked.
If it helps, in firefox, all I get from a save link as is pageload.asp (note asp instead of html), and a note saying wait to load. In Brave, I get a new tab, and the error
PDF.js v2.0.673 (build: 31012570)

Since I understand you share the same engine with chromium, it may help to know it works perfectly there.
Clicking the open button opens yet another tab with a completely white blank screen. I have also been unable to find an on-disk copy of the named pdf file.
