If the entire document does not open by tapping its "Tap to Download" icon in Mail, I don't have any suggestion other than to request the sender re-send the document in a readable format. PDF is perfectly acceptable, as are many other file formats, and no additional apps are required to read them.

Perhaps whatever created the PDF didn't do it properly. If you suspect another app is attempting to open the document, delete it from your iPhone and try again. You can always re-download the app if that doesn't help.

Hi,


My friend has what you stated = a square with and arrow coming out the top and works as expected


BUT I don't


what happens to me - is the small muti page opens and does NOT show a pdf ICON - BUT DOES show only the first page and I DO NOT GET = a square with and arrow coming out the top TO CLICK ON!


So it seems the normal behavior is not happening - how can I fix this - to see ALL pages and or open pdf in another pdf app?
