Frequently asked questions

Why does my phone open the PDF in another viewer?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari show the preview inline. Some mobile browsers open the file in their own viewer instead.

What if the PDF asks for a password?

Type it when asked and the preview opens.

Is the PDF saved anywhere when I preview it?

No. The file is shown straight from your device and nothing is stored — closing the tab clears it.
