## Description
## Information
I'm using this plugin to save PDF files to be stored by the user on their device's. On Android, i'm using externalRootDirectory and when using a file manager app, can i access the PDF file and open it.
On iOS, i'm trying to use all of cordova.file.* (from iOS) and i can't find the saved pdf file from file manager app.
Is it possible?

Research direction
The issue names cordova.file.* and externalRootDirectory but provides no command, code, versions, test, or repository file to start from. First determine the supported iOS storage and file-manager behavior; done would require a clearly scoped answer or implementation path for accessing the saved PDF.
