Hi there,

If your app is up to date, maybe check on your app's premission. You may also try to test if the pdf will open on PC/MAC in case the file is corrupted.

It sounds like you are trying to open a Dynamic XFA (XML Form Architecture) PDF. To view such PDF documents, we recommend downloading the file locally on your computer and opening it either in Adobe Acrobat/Reader desktop application.
You may download the free Acrobat Reader desktop application using this direct link https://adobe.ly/4lQ3ySV
