I am running Moodle 4.5.7+ (Build: 20251024)
PDFs are not being displayed on the mobile app using Version 3.2.7 of the PDF Protect plug-in. I just see the error "call to undefined function pdfprotect_view". https://github.com/EduardoKrausME/moodle-mod_pdfprotect/issues/13

Now that I've downgraded to version 3.2.5 I am no longer getting the error.
