Hi @Swetha, In desktop when I click button "Generate PDF" , it opens a PDF. When i am doing the same in mobile, PDF is not opening and it stays back in the same record detail page. But I am facing this issue recently, earlier it ask me to download PDF.

@ Ayesha, Make sure you set your mobile browser to allow popups so that the PDF renders seamlessly.

Also, check your user profile and ensure that the "Run Reports" permission is enabled.

Despite enabling popups, if it doesn't work, please share minimal code snippet for replicating this behavior, so I can suggest what could have gone wrong as you said it was working earlier.

I'd also recommend reviewing this related post https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=9062I000000IKOMQA4
 
If this information helps, please mark the answer as best. Thank you

Hi @Swetha, PDF is not opening in Mobile Application not in Mobile Browser. Earlier I could download PDF from Salesforce Mobile Application whenever I click the button but now it is not happening. I really don't understand is anything has changed recently.

Make sure that the mobile application you are using is compatible with the PDF file format. Some mobile applications may only support certain file formats because they are crack version, you can check from drivereasy crack (https://www.crackshere.com/driver-easy-pro-crack-key/).
