I uploaded a PDF, which displays fine on desktop and iOS, but it renders as blank, white pages on my Android. I'm on the latest version 1.46.12.

When using the "Share" function on Android and selecting Capacities, a PDF is uploaded, pages show the correct rotations but are empty (also in Browser and iOS).

Same thing here, PDFs render as blank pages and I have to download them to view on a separate reader. Using Capacities v1.48.2; Samsung SM-S911B; Android v14; Chrome WebView v136.0.7103.60 (WebKit v537.36); Mobile (Capacitor); 10/05/2025, 15.18.43

Thanks for the message. Could you please navigate to 'Settings > Version', click on the copy icon and paste the result here? Also, it would be great if you could provide us with a sample PDF where this is happening. Thanks!

Luca Joos I have attached a PDF with screenshots of three different files and files size. This is only happening in my android app. If this is an isolated issue affec me, please let me know If deleting the app and reinstalling it may solve this issue. Thank you

PDF files are rendering blank pages in Android App and web browser instance. Some are rendering properly but the majority are not. The PDF files are from many different sizes and were rendering before.

I have uploaded some PDFs via the mobile app on android.
I noticed they were blank so I investigated the mobile website, that too was blank. I then switched to desktop view and they were displaying properly.
I have attached images of the same PDF in all three views.
Looks like this is a bug.
Anyone else having this issue?
