I have a certain type of system generated PDF which works fine with other application or open it with Acrobat desktop. But it shows partially blank (certain components in PDF page) if users open it from Acrobat on their phone or chrome extension. Could someone help me to slove the issue or identify it by investigate the PDF file?

"It sounds like there might be compatibility issues with the PDF on mobile or Chrome extensions. Try checking the PDF's formatting or encoding. You could also test with different PDF versions to see if that helps. Good luck!"

All mobile PDF viewers lack features compared to what you find in the Adobe desktop applications (that includes Adobe's own mobile version of the Reader). If you can share one of these files here, we can certainly take a look, but  unless you are in full control of that "system generated PDF", and what goes in it, there is very likely nothing you can do to make these work better on mobile devices.

Thank you so much for a quick reply, the attached file is one sample, it looks fine if open with desktop but only shows header lines if open on mobile or chrome extension. When I said system generated, it's by a javascript and has some css styles in xml file, so I think probably I can fix it if I can identify the issue and nothing related to backend PDF engine.
