Description
What happened?
When opening a PDF file in the WebView2 viewer the PDF document cannot be zoomed, either with the toolbar buttons or via Ctrl-+- or Ctrl ScrollWheel. Same WebView works zooming HTML content.
In the Screencap both panes are WebView controls and you can see that Html document content can zoom just fine in both panes.
However when opening a PDF neither scroll zoom/ctrl-+ or - works and neither do the controls on the PDF viewer. Everything else in the PDF Viewer appears to work however (ie. paging, sidebar toc etc.) - only thing that appears to not work is the resizing.

No repository file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the issue with a WebView2 control loading a local or web PDF, then compare toolbar, Ctrl-plus/minus, and Ctrl-scroll behavior with HTML content; done means PDF zoom works through those UI and keyboard paths.
