SUMMARY When opening a Android device (Lenovo P2 Android v9) in dolphin, I can see all files, I can open pictures, text documents, etc, but I cannot open pdf files. I have tried with okular from dolphin, with okular from konsole (in either case okular says, "cannot open file /pathofthefile"), with Firefox and with Brave - it fails with all of them. Also dolphin preview of pdf files fails on the device.

I experience the same bug on Ubuntu 20.04. However, in my case copying the file from the phone corrupts it as well, so I cannot view it on the PC. Copying by other means works just fine.
I also wonder if there is related to a wider issue concerning opening/transferring files using dolphin. SFTP corrupting file: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405847 Opening files on desktop through kdeconnect is erratic / buggy: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430148
