Caution!  Microsoft Print to PDF makes huge, bloated PDF files. A
one-page simple all-text document will be megabytes, or so I found. If
you do this on a regular basis you're much better advised to use a
third-party Print-to-PDF driver, such as the free Cute PDF, which I've
used for years. <https://www.cutepdf.com/>

Well, you _could_ do that, if you like extra steps. But there's really
no reason to involve any browser, let alone Edge. Excel opens HTML files
just fine, as I posted this morning.
