Many people like to use the Chrome browser to view PDF documents or edit them, but these edited contents cannot be saved by Chrome so far, and people can only download to the original PDF version without modification.
Of course, there is currently a way to borrow the print function of Chrome and save the edited version as PDF. However, this does not provide the best user experience, and Google has begun to resolve this matter.
Chrome Story recently discovered a code change request for UI changes that will allow users to choose to download edited or original versions of PDF files.
PDF viewer: Add UI to download edited PDF
- Add operation menu, provide the option to download original or edited PDF
- The menu is displayed only when editing and enabling the “SaveEditedPDFForm” function
- On the bug report page about this new feature, the developer provided a screenshot:
As for the requested content shown in the bug report, it means that the function should only display the option to download the edited version after the PDF text is editable and edited; if the document itself is not editable, this option will not appear.
This new feature will probably start to appear in the upcoming Google Chrome Canary version, and the stable version will have to wait a few months.
