<pre>Reported downstream here: <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773887">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773887</a> and here <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epiphany-browser/+bug/1633995">https://bugs.launchpad.net/epiphany-browser/+bug/1633995</a>
If there is an iframe in the page which points to a PDF, nothing happens: it is neither displayed nor downloaded.
The most popular example (and really bad design on the side of the web developers) is IEEE Xplore (<a href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp">http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp</a>), the library system used to read papers published by IEEE. Another example would be <a href="https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/iframe-pdf.html">https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/iframe-pdf.html</a>
I guess a sane workaround for this would be to just offer download of that file (in this case pdf).
I am unable to see what webkit2gtk version I have installed, as it's inside a flatpak Gnome 3.22 runtime. The epiphany developer which commented on the downstream bug says he can reproduce the issue too and I imagine he's using a development build.</pre>
