Frequently Asked Questions

Why do long PDF file names get cut off in mobile apps?

This generally happens due to interface scaling bugs or outdated app versions that fail to trigger text wrapping for long strings of characters in the list view.

Can I temporarily fix the file name display without updating?

Yes, as a quick workaround, you can rename the PDF file to a shorter title. Tap the three-dot menu next to the file and select 'Rename' to condense the name.
