Not sure if this is a Chromium bug. Maybe Android or PDFium?

The pdf viewer is part of google docs as far as I know. They use their own
version of pdfium. Talk to Dmitri Abramov.

Thanks

In this instance, Chrome has delegated downloading and rendering the PDF to the Drive PDF Viewer. There was a bug where Drive PDF Viewer didn't follow redirects and caused this issue, but it has been fixed in Drive version 2.4.141.

Could you please add the Drive version please (or update to the latest and check whether this solves the issue)?

Thanks

I can't provide a link because it's on a private web (University). I tried to find another PDF but at the moment I can't find anyone, seams like something has improved. But I still have this issue, and seams it happens when the link is a PHP view like this: http://.../mod/resource/view.php?id=398313

tlb: How do you want to handle this bug? As is, it's in the wrong bug tracker.
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
I'm closing the bug as WontFix - it's not Chrome bug so this is the wrong bug tracker. If this is still a problem, please consider raising the issue in the Google Drive Help Forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/drive
