I can't reproduce the issue with the provided pdf on both staging and dev (latest main):

[trjExpensify]

Me neither on staging mac chrome:

Let's take this to the thread, I've noticed a couple of things from the video:

1. It's windows not mac
2. the preview of the PDF is different than the one supplied

I don't think this is a deploy blocker.
