I downloaded it, the pdf is legit. Yours might have gotten corrupted during download, or the PDF viewer you are using is struggling with something in the document. Its all there though.
Shouldn’t being the key word, but it’s trying to open Google Play to ‘help’ me find an app to open this ‘weird’ PDF that’s actually an HTML script. Android doesn’t give me the option to pick which app it tries to open the downloaded script with, unless I rename it to HTML, but then it just loads the script locally and the Yes/No buttons don’t even work.
Yeah its because of their download intercept, the download of the PDF doesn’t happen unless you have the cookie saved. So the link is to a PDF, but they check if you are authorized to download. You are getting an HTML because a normal desktop browser would present the choice buttons to save an approval cookie.
I’ve ultimately narrowed it down to a bug in the Jerboa for Lemmy app itself. I filed a bug report earlier to the Jerboa community, if you care to give it a read-over…
Maybe try in a different browser or device because I don’t think it has that requirement. Unless it accepts existing login cookies (which it should not without explicitly stating).
I use Fennec, a fork of Firefox, and I’m not logged into a damn thing on Fennec. Yeah that might largely be the problem, but I ain’t about to login to Google on my mobile devices anymore…
catbox.moe is pretty solid for files 200MB or less, temporarily though. But the archive snapshot can permanently archive files from there (or at least used to be able to).

Maybe they’re underaged?
Edit: catbox mirror
Do kids even follow that though?
Of course not,. But the hope is that it waives them a certain level of liability.
Or maybe I’m 43 years old (fact), and just don’t care to sign into Google anymore.
You’d figure a PDF document link might actually take you to a PDF document and not do the bait and switch with an HTML document…
I’m all in for blaming google for almost everything, but this is entirely on you.
No, as it turns out, it’s a bug in Jerboa for Lemmy.
When I tap the link in Jerboa, it sees PDF and blindly tries to force-feed the link into a PDF viewer rather than a web browser.

Is there an 8 year old in the house that can figure it out for you?
That’s nice. Can anyone provide a version of the document that like doesn’t require signing into Google?
This doesn’t ask to sign into google for me. If your Browser is forcing that then install Firefox or an alternate browser than chrome.
You think I use Chrome? 😂🤣
All jokes aside, I get you, I use Fennec, a fork of Firefox.
Then you shouldn’t need to login to Google

Here’s what the link coverts to if you don’t have the cookie agreement already. You coukd paste that in your bug report if that helps https://www.justice.gov/age-verify?destination=%2Fepstein%2Ffiles%2FDataSet+9%2FEFTA01249734.pdf

The archive org link I tried doesn’t seem to work. Do you have an alternative file hoster you trust that I could use?
catbox.moe is pretty solid for files 200MB or less, temporarily though. But the archive snapshot can permanently archive files from there (or at least used to be able to).
I tried archive.org and archive.is but both seemingly failed or are still processing. Here’re a catbox link.
Oof phuck, yeah the archive is giving me a 503 error trying to snapshot it. ☹️
The catbox link itself worked fine and downloaded fine though, thank you 👍
