Describe the bug

https://www.nationalphotonic.com/product/datasheet-asys-dbell-110/ When you download from this website through duckduckgo on android the pdf will not open, if you add them to dropbox it says they are corrupt/unsupported. The downloads work on other browsers on android (chrome) and work on desktop on duckduckgo/chrome/firefox any ideas how to fix this? many thanks

Provided example tries to download

url: https://www.nationalphotonic.com/product/datasheet-asys-dbell-110/
contentDisposition: inline; filename="ASYS-dBELL-110-230321-Mod-230405-compressed-hzoaog.pdf";
mimeType: application/pdf

DDG downloads provided URL as requested but there is an HTML under this url. Reason why it's impossible to open it as PDF 'cause it's not a PDF. It's also possible to rename downloaded file with *.html suffix and open it as valid web page.

Server responds with PDF to show but android webView doesn't have option to show PDF.

I just tried reproducing this issue on the DDG from the Google Play Store but the PDF was downloaded successfully.

I'm experiencing the same issue with PDF files that are generated by mpdf. Other browsers seem to download them fine, but DDG downloads the webpage with a .pdf extension instead of the PDF file.
