Which permission is required for pdf file on android 13
This depends on where it is stored and who the owner is of that file, see also Some basics on Android storage system
And
Taifun
On Android 11+, storage permissions for non-media files are not required (requestable). Either the non-media file (PDF) is saved by the app itself in one of the Shared folders (or the ASD), for which no storage permissions are required, or if the file was created by another app then SAF must be used.
If you had read my link, your question would have already been answered.
The changes on Android 13+ regarding READ permissions only affect media files.
Thread: App Description - Piano App Recording Permission Issue
Hello everyone! 
I’m currently working on a piano app that allows users to record, play, share, and save their recordings directly on their mobile devices. I’ve encountered a challenge related to permissions, and I’m seeking your expertise to find a solid solution.
App Features:
- Record, play, share, and save piano recordings on your mobile device.
Extensions Used:
Blocks Implemented:
My Device Information:
- Android 11+
Issue Description:
Upon opening the app, I’m not getting the usual permission popup; instead, a notification (Notification 1) appears if the permission is denied. I’ve explored various threads in the community but haven’t found a clear solution, especially regarding the method to save recorded files. I need a foolproof method with blocks that ensures compatibility across various Android versions, as I don’t have a device with a version lower than Android 11 for testing.
Seeking Solution:
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide the exact method with blocks to handle permissions and ensure smooth file saving, considering the nuances on all Android Versions. Your insights and expertise will be a tremendous help!
Thank You
These blocks are all you need (as long as the audio files are created by the app itself).
However, if other audio files are also to be accessed by the app, READ permissions must also be requested and granted for Android > 10. For Android 11 and 12 READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and for Android 13+ READ_MEDIA_AUDIO. (In this case my extension ReadMediaPermissions is needed.)

Actually pdf file download from server and store in download folder but when pdf file open in my app then show error that reading permission denied and pdf file not opened. This error only come out in android 13.
In this image, you’ve disabled the “record audio” block. What does this mean? Should I use the audio permission or the RECORD_AUDIO permission?
I couldn’t find the ReadMediaPermission1.Sdk Version Block. Can you help me locate it?
Additionally, I display all the audio files recorded within the app. Could you please guide me on how to do that? I’m quite confused. Here are the blocks I’ve used, though I realize they may not be correct.
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. This will also benefit all Kodular users who record and display audio files in their apps. Thank you @bodymindpower
Thats not working. I’ve tried.
