We have configured App protection policy on Intune for Android Devices. We have restricted Downloads, Sharing with all app and screenshot that works as intended. When we open attachments on Outlook such as Word, Excel or Image it opens up as preview which is perfect, however, we are not able tp Open PDF files. No preview either and we get "This action is blocked by your organization" as soon as we click PDF attachments. Can anyone guide us? I have a feeling that this might be a known issue as we do not have any options pertaining to PDF attachments.
