Mobile devices typically store files downloaded from third-party applications in a centralized Downloads folder. By navigating there directly, you can manually select the correct application to read the file.
Locate and open your device's default 'File Manager' or 'My Files' application.
Tap on the 'Downloads' folder or look for a specific folder named 'Allen Plus' in your internal storage.
Find the downloaded study material and tap on the PDF file.
When prompted with 'Open with', select a reliable PDF reader to view the document.
Verify App Storage Permissions
If the files aren't downloading properly, the Allen Plus app might lack the necessary storage permissions.
