You will need to give your pdf files anyone with the link access

i have no idea, but all the file i fetch from google drive as pdf

got it

I already did that. i set it as a viewer

Still seeing no access

Ensure all pdfs are set like this:

OK, I've changed the permissions of all the files, like that and the error no longer appears in my application. but the result is still blank

Thank you so much! :pray:

Working OK here with companion app (2.74u)

wow awesome, maybe I should try my app on company devices. who knows, it's working. btw thanks for helping, I will get back to you soon if there are any other errors :grin:

@Mr.Black

FWIW, your issues appear to be solely related to file access permissions, and not with the extension itself.

oh I see, maybe because I only use the emulator to test the application. you know, actually I wanted to try my application on my device but for some reason the application couldn't be opened, an error message appeared. but if I try it on my company's device the application can open (Amazon Fire HD 10). Maybe my device has the latest version of Android so it doesn't support apps made by MIT AI2

AI2 works fine on the latest Android (15).

有没有什么方法可以通过另存(比如说把这个PDF通过文件管理器从素材中另存到某个地方,再通过查看器阅读)查看PDF文件?但是我是个新手,文件管理器貌似无法这么操作,因为它的作用域。非常感谢!
Is there any way to view a PDF file by saving it as a file (for example, saving it from the materials in a file manager and reading it through a viewer)? But I am a beginner, and it seems that the file manager cannot operate in this way because of its scope. Thank you so much!

使用文件管理器将文件从素材拷贝到asd,完全没问题

@TIMAI2
My pdf file is too large and app inventor can't upload it
what should I do?

What do you mean by AI2 can't upload it ?

How large ? How many pages ? Did you try the ViewBigPDF alternative ?

There are 4 pdfs:
1.80 pages
2.1312 pages
3.149 pages
4.95 pages

What file sizes ?

Where/how are you trying to upload to ?
