I have never had any problem opening PDF email attachments on my iPhone 8 but suddenly today I’m getting an error message saying to try again later. I’ve tried all of the suggested fixes, don’t have any of the apps known to interfere and have not installed any new apps. I can still open older PDF attachments.
my iOS is updated to 14.4.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
It might be a Gmail app issue. I use the Gmail web app on both my phone and laptop.. PDFs can open on my laptop today, but not on my phone. I added my Gmail address to my iPhone mail app and I was able to open them.
It is odd that it”s only today’s PDFs and that all of the previous emails sent as recently as two days ago, still open fine.

It is three different PDFs today. None of them open on my Gmail app. They did open when using the iPhone mail app.
Check if an update for Gmail app is available in the App Store and install it if any found . Delete and reinstall the app. If still no luck, report the issue to Google; it’s their app that needs a fix.
Is just one particular PDF attachment? Perhaps that file got corrupted somehow. Can it be resent to you?
