I download the pdf file using Download component
And that pdf store in /storage/emulated/0/Download/my folder/pdf

Try this:

This way the pdf file is downloaded directly to a hidden folder (→ myDownloads) in the ASD without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. This folder (myDownloads) can only be accessed by your app and is automatically deleted when the app is uninstalled.

I haven’t published this extension for Kodular yet (for AI2 only), but you can use this extension for this purpose too:

[DISCONTINUED] Download an APK to App-Specific Directory (ASD) and install it without permissions

With this extension you can download an APK to the ASD (app-specific directory) and install it. This doesn’t require WRITE / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. However, you can also install an APK from another directory (e.g. the /Download folder) (with READ permissions). This should work on all Android versions, especially on Android 9, 10, 11.
