Cannot download pdf attachments on my phone

[Android Central Question]

Why can't I download pdf attachments on my Gmail app on my android device but I am able to download the same attachments on the web or PC? I experienced it with my previous phone but yet after my upgrade I am still experiencing it.

Please assist me with this situation?

Welcome to Android Central! You don't need Adobe Acrobat Reader on your phone to download and read PDFs on an Android phone.

What happens when you try to download the PDF attachment? Do you get an error message, or does it just seem to hang while downloading? How are you trying to download them? If you long-press the PDF attachment, do you get additional options?
