Printed PDF location
It used to be the project directory itself. But then we had the case on projects (like e.g. the demo projects) that the external PDF could not access the document. That's why it has been moved to QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation here https://github.com/opengisch/QField/pull/615 (not to temp path, because this is in the app folder as well).
Problem with DocumentLocation is, that it's not cleaned up...
It would be nice to have it improved like that the PDF would be stored to a tmp folder where the external app could access. Or sending the document with the intent to the app directly.
The solution to this problem is per-URI permissions: when starting an activity or returning a result to an activity, the caller can set Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and/or Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION. This grants the receiving activity permission access the specific data URI in the intent, regardless of whether it has any permission to access data in the content provider corresponding to the intent.

This has been accepted as an enhancement request. Good job :+1: Enhancement requests are very valuable to make QField better. They sometimes attract others and just happen magically. More often however they need someone to jump in and make them come true.
