PDF permissions?? Can't down load
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
https://www.airforums.com/forums/f13...tml#post585431
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?

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.
