This is extremely bizarre. It’s new, and it’s 100% reproducible for me. When I create an invoice or a statement or a report and print it to the built-in PDF printer in the Print dialog (not by clicking Manager’s “PDF” button, but by clicking the “Print” button and selecting “Save as PDF” as the pri…

What operating system (including version), Manager edition and version number, and printer driver? Your mention of Edge implies Windows. Regardless of all that, this sounds like an operating system issue, not a Manager issue.

Windows 11 ver 24H2 build 26100.3915. Manager ver 25.3.29.2206 > just updated to ver 25.4.17.2256 > issue persists Edge ver 135.0.3179.98. (I don’t know how to find a version number for “Save as PDF”; I believe this virtual printer is built into Windows or Edge, rather than existing as a distinct…

I’m not sure if there’s something to do from within Manager. I guess only @lubos can tell

Just a thought, but when you create the PDF, does it then open that file in Edge, so that you can view it? If so, it is a temporary file at that stage. You then need to save it in Edge. It’s a quirk of Edge I think. There may be an option in the many settings in Edge to stop it.

ISSUE RESOLVED: I can confirm now that Microsoft has released the fix to WebView2. In the newest version of WebView2 Runtime (Build 136.0.3240.50), the PDF files are not longer deleted when quitting Manager. I believe WebView2 Runtime will update itself eventually, but it seems it’s possible to tr…
