    I was able to use an app Xodo and it seems to work just fine for me. I will use this for the time being until this bug gets worked out.

Hi all!
 
Initially, Juliandel, thanks for letting us know what worked for you, much appreciated!
 
I also just wanted to ask, mattheeussen and Parsons-Joyce 2, have you had a chance to check out what I recommended to try out in my previous post (about ensuring that you have the latest version of the mobile app, signing out and back in again, or even clearing the cache)? Maybe one of these will do the trick? 
 
In any case, if that doesn’t work, mattheeussen, I’d recommend contacting our Support team for a more in-depth look at this, due to account-specific info that’s required. 
 
Parsons-Joyce, I was able to locate your open request from my end and I’ve sent it to a specialized member of my team to review your case. I’ve replied to your via email with the relevant info on this, so please check your inbox for my latest message. 
 
Cheers!
