Mobile Browser Limitations

Some mobile browsers, such as Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android, may block or ignore calls made by our plugin for security and usability reasons. Additionally, certain printing functions may be disabled in mobile browsers to prevent the unintended opening of print dialogs on small screens. In such cases, for mobile devices, we recommend downloading a PDF to avoid these issues.
