Hi everyone, I encountered a problem to view my pdf file using PDF Reader. ![Screenshot 2020-04-11 at 4.50.49 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/2/c22d24c901be142b393b1bc6ce5ebf360c2837c5.png) ![pdfReaderProblem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/9/7991218019409758b37d9659fbfb234c20d826c8.jpeg) I just want it able to view a pdf file when I move to that particular screen. However, when I test it using thunkable live, an error occur (as attached in the pic). How can I solve this problem? Thanks. ---

Nice!! I am having this issue with iphone too. Do you need to have a paid account of cloudinary to do this, right? I tried with my free account and it did not work. Do you know if is there any way to do this for free? Thank you! 🙂 ---
