PDF documents generated by Aspose.PDF for Java 20.9 not opening in Edge using adobe PDF engine

Hi!

Microsoft and Adobe partnered to embed Adobe PDF engine into Edge browser.

This new pdf engine can be taken into use from Edge settings, enabling “New PDF Viewer”. The legacy engine in the Microsoft Edge PDF solution is scheduled to be removed in 2025, meaning this “New PDF Viewer” becomes mandatory.

We are using Aspose.PDF as part of Opentext Content Transformations platform. We have noticed an issue with PDF documents created by Aspose.PDF for Java 20.9. When opening PDF document using Edge(New PDF Viewer enabled), the PDF is blank. Document properties are visible and correct, but there is no content. Disabling New PDF Viewer or using newer Aspose.PDF version there are no issues. Of course we could just use newer Aspose version, but we already have thousands and thousands PDF documents created by older version of Aspose, this means we would need to create new renditions for old documents which is huge and time consuming task.

Do you know what could be the problem with older Aspose.PDF and Edges “New PDF viewer”?
