Description

Steps to reproduce

I share two (PDF-)Documents with another user. One of them with "Read only", one with "changings allowed"

Now the receiver wants to print the documents.

  • First try: Open the app. Click the "read only"(-PDF). It opens. Print isn't in the feature list.
  • Second try: Open the app. Click on the 3-point-menu at the "read only"(-PDF). Print isn't in the feature list.

There are no "problems" with the "changings allowed"(-PDFs)

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

I can't understand why I can't print an opened document. Bug or Feature?
It would be great if it would be possible to print shared documents.

Research direction

The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing printing for a read-only shared PDF in the iOS app, then compare it with a shared PDF that allows changes. Done means the intended behavior for read-only shared documents is established and covered by the app's relevant validation or tests.
