Hi  
I don’t think it depends on the app, it could depend on the access permissions set in that Google drive file? Can you paste the link here to try? (if the content is not confidential).

The link opens on my smartphone. What exactly happens in yours when you click on the link in the app? Trivially, is it possible that you don’t have a pdf reader installed?
