Pdf's not opening

I tried to open pdf in files but its not opening. But all pdf's downloaded from Chrome opening in chrome. I think there is some problem with files app.

Files go is just a file explorer, nothing more.
You need to have a pdf viewer installed to open a pdf file.

First of all I am using google drive's inbuilt viewer and I already told that the files are opening in chrome that's mean i have something to open those files and also I have tried to open files by downloading separate file viewer from play store. It still doesn't work.

Your pdf files may be corrupt.
When you say not opening what happens exactly?
Can you open the files on your computer?

yes they are opening and what i mean is same file opens fine in chrome but when I open it with file app it show a blank screen. I have attached a screenshot for the same when i open PDF using files app.

It's the files go app that is not opening the file, which I believe cannot open pdf files.
Try installing "Google pdf viewer" from the play store and post your results

Yeah.. Need a PDF viewer like @Dannydet said. You can use an office app like WPS or book reader like ReadEra to view them perfectly. Regular Filer apps are usually very limited, unfortunately
