i want to upload a pdf file on the app that when i install the app on the phone it extracts a folder in a giving path that has my pdf file or the app folder itself (which i don’t know where!) so when i click the button inside the app it opens my pdf file.
If you are uploading the pdf file in the assets with the app, then you will need to:
a. create the folder
b. copy the file over to that folder
You can do both of these with Taifun’s File extension
Thank you … how do i upload the pdf file in the assets? 
i can’t see my file in the /AppInventor/assets although i uploaded it to app inventor
This is basic stuff!
In the designer, Find the Media section and click on the Upload File button. Select a file from your computer and upload it.
The Media section is also visible in the Blocks editor

Read this first and then come back with your question:
And tell us whether you are talking about companion or the compiled app (APK).
Thanks you my friend <3
