Every month l download my income expense statement from my wallet app, which l read using my Google Drive PDF Viewer. However, this time no matter which PDF Viewer l use, the result is the same : the file is corrupted or in an unsuitable format.

Can anyone please help me fix this problem ?

Maybe, the issue is with your wallet app? Have you tried other pdf files on your phone. Or using a file manager like solid explorer to see if it can open the PDF file?

Barring that share the phone, Android version and possibly the PDF file being used in question so others can test on their phone? If the PDF file contains sensitive data redact it using a desktop pdf app.

My device is not compatible with solid explorer.

Solid explorer works with all android smartphones all the way from android 4.4 kitkat to android 15 and perhaps also the upcoming android 16.

In any case you will have to contact this wallet app developer since you cannot provide more information and won't get useful answers on this community.
