PDF Reader not working in new update

AshwathSingh

Steps to reproduce:
Drag a PDF into the window
Expected behavior:
It opens as expected showing the UI but the PDF doesn't show up it just shows a blank screen
Another issue I saw was that when you zoom in it zooms in the entire page rather than just the PDF

Orion, OS version; hardware type: 0.99.124-beta MacOS 13.1

AshwathSingh Not able to reproduce, need exact steps.

It only works after refreshing the page once, so I am not sure what causes the initial issue

Hi there, this is what I did:

Search for PDF using Spotlight or Alfred (Haven't tried with Raycast and all the others)
Drag the PDF shown in the search into a new Orion Tab
It loads the PDF UI but then doesn't show the PDF

AshwathSingh @puClvr I am not reproducing either of these issues reading PDFs now--do you still get them?

puClvr

Maybe I describe different situation to OP.
PDF viewing and downloading in this browser is still dead.

Release notes from build about 5 days ago said it was fixed,

go to URL https://www.amxaudio.com/products/product/14-nickel-plated-right-angle-plug

Click supporting document link

this the page that opens, a blank page no PDF

and none of the below tool icons respond to clicking, they are dead too so cannot download the PDF

and even MORE unmacOS like, Option + Enter key command does not download the file from the URL bar…
you see cursor in url bar is supposed to download the file on Option + Enter

BUT, if Compatibility mode is enabled then the PDF is displayed and all the icons respond.

So maybe set a rule to auto enable compatibility mode on PDF pages?

puClvr Not able to reproduce the problem. It appears to be caused by the extensions you have enabled?

Double checked again, all extensions disabled, i'm in
Compatibility mode, see screenshot:

hrm IDK what's going on, switch off compatibility mode, no change then Reload Page then the PDF appears.
Switch back to Compatibility Mode reload, blank page, reload again then PDF appears again.
strange behaviour.
