Post a screen recording.
Also ChromeOs? It’s platform we don’t officially support.

@G3-D1

Click Save in file manager window

I don’t know anything about ChromeOS. But can you provide more information about where you are saving this file? Does it have a regular file system or is it all cloud stuff? What directory are you trying to save it in? Did you try in any other directories?

I’m running it within the Buster VM that is included with ChromeOS, which uses btrfs. For simplicity, I can duplicate this when I save it to ~/.

I am gonna move this to help as we don’t officially support chromeos.

Hi G3-D1,

I tested this on my Lenovo Duet Chromebook and it worked fine for me. The PDF file was written to my home directory in Linux. I was able to find it in my Files app in ChromeOS in the “Linux Files” section.

Hope this helps!
