SUMMARY One of the more common usecases for a webrowser is downloading documents such as pdf files. Falkon seems to have an intergrated pdf viewer which opens when a "link" with a .pdf extension is opened. Then the adress bar looks something like this: chrome-extension://mh[…]jai/index.html? followed by the initial link This viewer offers the feature to rotate and fit to screen, but lacks a download button. Of course one can save the page but that results in mhtml or html file, not in a pdf. Maybe I am missing something here, but I have looked many times. Also I would try to implement this myself as this is important to my workflow, but am currently low on time due to schoolwork. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a pdf-link (such as this one: https://ldk-hildesheim.antragsgruen.de/ldk-hildesheim/motion/pdfcollection/2985/Sozial%C3%B6kologische+Transformation.pdf This link leads to a political document, if that is a problem I will search for another one immediately) 2. Observe the UI to find a way to download it.

Agreed, Falkon should have a download button in the PDF viewer. Confirmed in Falkon 3.1.0. I'd suggest this be a wish list item though as it is not a bug. A workaround until then is to right click on PDF links and "Save Link As"
Yes, this isn't a bug. I just have no idea how to mark this as a feature request or wish list item. Is taht even my job? Rightclicking pdf links and saving them works and shows, that the feature itself is already existent - just not in the viewer.
