On iOS, it downloads the pdf file and when I got to open it, it moves it to downloads - then shows this:

Are you referring to the Files app on the iPhone?

Have you tried this process with other browsers?

No, download section on brave browser. See attached photo above of what happens when I open it on brave.

Can you go to this site, download the test PDF and try to open it within Brave iOS. Let me know if the file/contents is visible.

This is an issue with Android as well. Brave 1.5.8 on Android 10.

The sample pdf worked on brave and I can view it fine. The original one I tried to download was not working, it was a bill statement.

@Ksven447,
If the sample pdf worked and the bill statement didn’t. It may be an issue with the site the gave you the PDF, i.e. they gave you a blank pdf. Can you try to view the same PDF from that site on a different device. e.g. laptop?
