Just for kicks, I checked another solution, which is universal (for non-deGoogled phones, so not for your (deGoogled) phone). The solution is to use the (Google) 'Drive' app as your choice in the 'Open with' dialog, when opening the PDF in WhatsApp. (The 'Drive' app should be standard on any normal Android phone.) While 'Drive' implies The Cloud and similar horrors :-), it can work without the cloud, which we do in this case. The 'Drive' app will just open and display the PD, i.e. step one of your "reading & saving PDFs on Android". Now tap the three-vertical-dots icon and tap 'Download', which will *not* - as one might expect - download something from the cloud, but will download the displayed PDF to your Download folder. From there, you can copy/move it to any place you like, , i.e. step two of your "reading & saving PDFs on Android". Elementary, dear Watson! Yes, this method has a few more steps if your desired 'save' target is other than your Download folder, but it *is* "UNIVERSAL' for all normal Android phones. As a famous poster said: "So no need to install anything else."! :-) [...]
