Hi Arno,

You bring up a good point, where, moments ago, I had responded to Andy 
after looking up the design intentions, and agree with you on this fact.

Luckily, the solution I came up with uses the share feature to save.
 *PSA: I found a GREAT way to add 'save to device' to the Android share sheet (which works on apps like WA that don't want you to share to the device!)*

When I first saw you suggested "the PDF viewer" in WhatsApp, I didn't say 
anything because I don't see any PDF viewer inside of the WhatsApp GUI.

Notice I ignored, in this thread, all the suggestions that didn't work.
I focused on only the suggestions that stood a chnce of working for all.

I just looked it up to be sure about what I'm about to say next, which is I 
don't think there is a PDF viewer inside of WhatsApp, so that won't work.

Sure, it will work if the person has a PDF viewer, but, that's why I asked 
the question of what Android PDF viewer people felt they liked the most.

Of course, I have a billion PDF viewers, but that wasn't the question.

The question was hoping to find a GOOD PDF viewer (better than others).
