Fails to open Pdf on Android when directed to live.outlook.com

JCL — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 12:42:51 GMT

Is there a way of opening a pdf without being directed to live.outlook.com?

How do I change the settings so that I can open the attachment with Adobe or can I download the attachment and then choose which app to open it with?

android 14

Try saving the pdf then right clicking on it to open it with the program of your choice.

Are you using Edge as the default browser on your phone?

See if this search helps:

Do those browsers have a settings option as it might be in there that you can change what program opens what file.

I would suggest trying Chrome browser and see what happens then.
