Greetings Spedex,


We understand that you’re attempting to insert a PDF file stored in the Files app in another document. 


We have some questions to learn a bit more about the situation. Which app are you using to create the document? Are you able to choose other file types to insert? How about other PDF files? 


Thanks.
