Hi Sandy, The PDF files I am talking about are those that are downloads, housed somewhere such as an Amazon cloud services. So when you go to a link for PDF, you get taken to the cloud services, and the file does show up in the web browser, and also offers you a bunch of sharing options, including by email or iBooks or Voice Dream reader or Kindle depending on what you have on your device. Navigation of such file is not very good in my experience. That is with in the browser. Sometimes the text is skipped over. There doesn't seem to be a way to move around within these files proficiently for accurately. This could've changed with the new iOS 11. And of course, forget tables. Or such has been my experience. I don't know about a file such as on a website, when you click on the link and it is supposed to load with in the browser, rather than opening a new tab in storage location, such as Amazon cloud services.
