@Omotayo this channel is for kotlin specific questions related to android, so people will likely keep marking your questions as 😶 . You'll have better luck trying other communities like the /r/androiddev subreddit/discord, or stackoverflow.

You can use DownloadManager API to save file in user's downloads folder, in you onComplete(file: File?) callback just do:

override fun onComplete(file: File?) {
    file?.let {
       val downloadManager = requireContext().getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
    downloadManager.addCompletedDownload(it.name, it.name, true, "application/pdf", it.absolutePath, it.length, true)
    }
}

Make sure you already have the following permission or else an exception will be thrown.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
