Link Sharing, View Only, PDFs

I am needing to share a link to a solid model I am working on for view only (no edit permission). I uploaded a pdf of a report related to the solid model but I guess the actual contents of the report can not be seen with view only permissions for my onshape document? when i click on the tab in my onshape document while signed out it just shows "file_name.pdf" but none of the contents of the pdf. I suppose I can have two separate links, one for the solid model that is view only and a second link for the pdf that includes more permissions, but am hoping there is something else more efficient. 😥

I tried checking the "export" checkbox. When viewing the link of a user outside of onshape, the pdf now has a download button, but hoping there is something else for link sharing that a non onshape user can see the contents of the pdf inside the onshape UI.
My understanding is that due to security issues with PDF viewers, this was disabled.
