Can we even load this offline at this point? I have the same question as I did here re: image caching being the precursor to then supporting caching of other file types.

Hey Melv, I'm back!

Didn't get an answer on this. @thomas-coldwell @Beamanator @marcaaron @aimane-chnaif what do you guys think? I believe this is held on us figuring out image caching first and then expanding that solution to other file types.

[Beamanator]

Aah shucks sorry for the late response!

I think this is an interesting case actually b/c technically the only image caching we've discussed so far for PDFs is the PDF "Preview" - and since this is a protected PDF, mayyyybe we don't even want to cache such previews?

That being said, I do think we still need to wait on the full image caching solution b/c I think it will help with a lot of related caching discussions

[trjExpensify]

and since this is a protected PDF, mayyyybe we don't even want to cache such previews?

It would show some kind of "locked" preview though wouldn't it? Instead of an error message or a grey screen etc?
