It works normally in chrome.

Thanks.

Hi

Instead of tapping on the link, I recommend that you long press on the link and a menu should appear that gives the option to download the file.

Doesn't work. If I google and results have links that are pdf just holding the link does nothing. If I tap blue line runs from to right at top of screen.

It doesn't work. When I've done it, has only appeared a file called 'invalid.txt' I'm using a samsung galaxy tab s5e I bought last december. My previous tablet was a samsung tab S2 and didn't show this problem. What can I do?

Hi

Do you have examples of websites where this is happening so that I can try to replicate what you are seeing?
