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.
