PDF permissions?? Can't down load

[Ultraclassic]

Hi Airstream family.

I notice when on the forum and example someone uploads a PDF for hooking up the trailer, when I click on download I get a message that says something like I don't have permission to do so.

Is this a forum thing, or my phone in the Mobile app?

Cheers

I wasn't able to locate the specific PDF you referred to but I was able to download other PDF files from the forum via my smart phone. Be sure you are logged in on your smart phone.

This is the link to the download of the pdf for trailer inspections

It works fine for me, but I have a few extra permissions. Anyone else with a problem?

Are you able to download and read other .pdfs? Maybe you don't have a pdf reader app installed or if you do, it doesn't have permission to open the pdf you downloaded.

One final thought - some thing at the site may need a regular browser. For downloads, make sure you are logged in....

Thanks guys for all the help

I only notice it on the forum -moble- Pixel 4XL, and I am logged in

I will try it in the desk top today.

I am just not sure if it is:

Moble forum settings

Phone settings

Download setting (on phone)

PDF viewer (on phone)


Any body else have a issue with Moble app on a Android to download PDF?

I was able to download and open the pdf from my internal storage download location without any issue. I just installed the Android Airforums app yesterday and tried the download link AZflycaster provided. I got a popup asking me to grant access to the Airforum app, which I did, and then went to my download folder and opened it with the Write on PDF or Google Drive app


Go to your Android app settings for the PDF viewer you have installed and check the permissions. The app needs permissions to access your internal storage. I think that's the error you're getting.
