What happens if you preview the project I created here on your Android phone?

> Sure. Here’s the Thunkable project link: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4278e585122cf302ad1e17904021b70b](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4278e585122cf302ad1e17904021b70b) And the Web App: [https://thunkable.site/w/OUtJUIADa](https://thunkable.site/w/OUtJUIADa) I noticed that the PDF Reader only displays one page. Not sure why that is. Also, I Googled poke mon rules pdf and I guess Google got confused by the space in “pokemon” so it returned poker rules instead. So be it!

If you can view my PDF but not yours then there’s maybe a problem with the filename you’re using? Or the format of your PDF file? If it’s not confidential info, maybe upload the PDF here or a link to your project.

That works for me, too. I downloaded the Google Doc as a PDF and was able to view it (at least one page) in a Web Viewer and PDF Reader.
