Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the PDFs generated from example.com in Chrome and MS Edge, then compare the parser's behavior on both files. No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue; done means identifying the Edge-specific PDF difference and making that PDF parse successfully without regressing the Chrome case.
