Creating a link and using it for QR code makes the pdf invalid

Question

I uploaded a .pdf into dropbox and created a link to share it with others.

Then used that link to create a QR code.

When I share the link directly, all is well.

When I share the QR code, I get a message on my (android) phone: "Cannot display PDF (name_file.pfd is of invalid format)"

People will only be using the QR code on their phone's (it's a catalog for a show we are organizing), so we need something that works.

Hi Pleun, thanks for checking in with us - I'd be more than happy to help!

As a first step, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of the exact error message that you're seeing?

Would you also mind checking this discussion, to see if the info there can help at all?

Thanks!
