Saving pdfs by printing is broken #25186

Description

@GreenYellowLight

Normally when you have a pdf you can select the button in the top right and then 'print' to pdf to a folder on your computer. This is helpful as unlike the download button it allows for custom page selection.

However as of the last update this functionality has become broken.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Put brave in fullscreen mode
  2. Open a pdf in brave. eg http://filmeducation.org/pdf/

Screen Shot 2022-09-03 at 7 26 34 am

resources/primary/Brave.pdf 3. Press the print button in the top right

Screen Shot 2022-09-03 at 7 26 46 am

  1. Press the save button

  1. Screen becomes greyed out. Expected behaviour is that you will be given the mac option thing of where to save the file to

Screen Shot 2022-09-03 at 7 27 03 am

Actual result:

Screen becomes greyed out

Screen Shot 2022-09-03 at 7 27 03 am

Expected result:

There is an option of where to save the file to and you can save the pdf (or part of it) somewhere
