Cannot open pdf files in skydrive

And I tell you that there are some factors that cause it. This type of question is usually asked by new android phone users and I will say that they have every right to do so, after all, they are new. As a new user, you get confused as to what is really the problem, what ie actually preventing the Pdf file from opening on my android smartphone.

This requires the user to go to the google play store , and download the pdf file app on the android phone. I got to notice that some of these low-end android smartphones tend not to come with a pre-installed pdf app. Another cause of not being able to open a pdf file on your android maybe because of corrupt or bad pdf file app. You should know that the pdf file app installed on your android phone has gone bad or probably corrupt and should be replaced.

Replacing it only involves you removing the corrupted pdf app, and going to the google play store to download a new one. Doing so will help you to open pdf files on your android phone. In order to verify and confirm that your pdf app installed on your phone is working, I recommend you to download another pdf file from a different source or website. Open the pdf file and if it does open, then you should know that the other pdf file is bad or poorly formatted. The only solution is to download one from the Google play store.

I repeated from Google play store and not anyone you see on this app file sharing websites. Some of them installed a virus or Trojan into their apk files.

This is the best pdf file app that I do recommend to android users , and it is also available for ios users as well. Adobe acrobat reader for android which is offered by the popular adobe helps you to open and read pdf files on your android smartphone. John Leonard. Follow Report. Community guidelines.

Thanks for everyone for all the help! Jump to latest reply. Hi there! Thanks for sharing the information. Check wether you have got the most recent patch of Adobe Reader insalled or not. Thanks, Akanchha. You should first troubleshoot your internet connectivity to ensure that network is in order. Let's begin. The OneDrive's Files On-Demand feature helps save storage space on your device, be it desktop or mobile.

The files will show on your computer or mobile but will be downloaded only when you open them. This approach's problem is that it needs an active internet connection to work that you may or may not have when you need to open the file.

How do you tell the difference? The file is 'locally available' on your hard disk if you view a green checkmark in the white background next to it and not if you view a cloud icon next to it. Just right-click on the file you want to make available offline or download and select 'Always keep on this device' option.

Now, you will view the green circle with a white checkmark on the file. You can remove the file from your hard disk by selecting the 'Free up space' option in the right-click menu. The time it takes to download the file will depend on your internet connection and the size of the file itself. This is a Windows feature. The objective remains the same, however. Microsoft wants to save storage space on your computer using a feature called Windows Storage Sense.

This is where things get a little confusing for some folks. Here is how Microsoft puts it:. So, there are two checkmarks. One is green, and the other is white. You want the white one because Storage Sense will delete files with the green checkmark after some time automatically to save you space.

Again, right-click on the file and select 'Always keep on this device' option to save it offline. Turn off the Storage Sense feature and manage space yourself.
