No longer can view pdfs on mobile?
Has anyone tried to view a pdf on mobile lately?
Both android and ios would either view or download pdfs. Now I get a message that preview isn't available.
Can others confirm? ------------...

Hi Mike,
I just tried on a couple pdf's and a jpg and they all worked for me.
Good luck,

Jim,
I realized that I can still view files if clicking on the file from the file attachment field. However, I use rich text links in many instances to link to the file. These have stopped working. I am experimenting to see if there is another way to write the rich text code to make it work. If you are able to test with a link, please let me know. If it works, let me know what coding you use for your link.
This coding is currently not working anymore:
"<a href='"& URLRoot()&"up/"&Dbid()&"/a/r"&[Record ID#] & "/e6/v0' target='_blank' >" & [File Field] & "</a>"

https://hardermech.quickbase.com/up/bkp8cwnzs/a/r3712/e6/v0Top is mouseover of the PDF, bottom is mouseover of the Rich Text Formula.
It appears there is a problem with the rich text formula.

------------------------------So are you saying you are getting the same results as I am? Rich text links to files are only working on desktop now, not on mobile? I have a few ways to link so I need to try others.

------------------------------Hi Mike,
I am pointing out the difference between the two URLs. The formula will not work on a PC or mobile device because it is not a fully formed URI. I would look at the formula and determine how to get it to function.
