Andre pointer a link to a WebKitGTK bug. That bug is the only reason why the things fail. Once it's fixed, the things are fixed as well.

Here's what worked for me: $ flatpak override --user --filesystem=home org.gnome.Evolution The use of `--user` is apparently important here, as counterintuitively, the system-level override does not affect user- installed flatpaks (i.e. I tried `sudo flatpak override -- filesystem=home org.gnome.Evolution` first, but this did not work.) Thinking out loud now--I wonder why this is not the default? It seems it would benefit flatpak users of Evolution to be able to save PDFs to their home directory or export emails. Again, thanks!

[Evolution] Print to File -- where does it go? (Flatpak)
When I select an email and "print" (ctrl+P), the dialog allows me to
select "Print to File" as the Printer. Once selected, there is a File
(destination) selector, and filetype selector (default PDF) below the
list of printers.
If I use the default File destination, it *says* that it is going to
save the PDF file to my home directory ("/home/duane" in my case).
That's fine, so I press the "Print" button.
However, when I visit this destination location on my drive, there is
no PDF file present.
When I investigate the file destination by clicking the selector before
printing, it's clear the destination is not *actually* my "/home/duane"
folder, even though it says that, because "/home/duane" is empty. This
appears to be a sandbox of some kind?
Where can I find the PDF file on disk?
I'm running Evolution 3.44.1 (by Flathub.org)
Thanks,
Duane Johnson
