Can't open PDF on iPhone but can open it on Macbook

I have always had the same issue with PDFs on my phone, except it’s usually a “if this is not eventually replaced by the document you’re trying to open…”. It last happened on student aid site and here’s the thing: some PDFs open without any problem, others don’t. I swear corruption isn’t an issue because it’s a government site, however we all know how voluntarily they screw up technology.

I am having basically the same issue as everyone and it’s happened prior and after updating to iOS 15 (iOS 15.1.1 currently installed). When I scan using Adobe Scan then seelect “Open in Acrobat”, the Acrobat Reader app opens and I get an error message the file is unable to open (see attached). This has been going on for the past few months but was never like this before. Please help. Thanks.

Unable to even see PDF attachments on emails, let alone opening. Wasn’t a problem until recently.

my iPhone is used for work

Being pressured to go to dark side by top dog. Apple help a gal out - fix this

Been having the same error on my iPhone for almost 1 year. The phone did open pdf’s when i first got it, then after an IOS update i couldnt open pdf’s anymore. I can open pdfs on my older ipad but not my new iphone? Still not fixed in 15.2. Been with apple for 13 years, if they cant get a pdf to open on my phone might be time to take my money elsewhere

I have the same issue although there’s no third party PDF viewer installed. It’s quite frustrating as it cuts across all platforms including messages, files and WhatsApp.

Hello, our firm is experiencing the same issue. Is there a resolution. We have found that iPhones with iOS version 14.2 do not have the problem, only newer versions of iOS have the issue.

I’m facing the same problem for couple of months. All attached PDF on email, WhatsApp are converted to viber file.

I tried to remove apps, nothing helped

😊🤫

Unfortunately this is still not working for me in 15.

I have iOS 15 and still having the problem of pdf’s not opening from an email attachment. Really need help with this asap please

Have you sorted it yet I can’t figure it out I’ve tried everything 🤷🏼‍♂️

Having the same issue!!!

Doesn’t work on yahoo mail app but does on outlook. Perhaps an issue with the yahoo mail app instead. Anyone else have issues with yahoo mail app only?

I can’t open my pdf files. I could open them on the past but not recently. What is going on. Help please provide a solution or fix the updates.

My iPhone still doesn’t open PDF files, even though I’ve installed new iOS 15… Solution??
