Okay, that might help, and that will certainly be helpful for other Macrodroid ideas that I have. But the real issue is that on the test tablet, it just opens the 6 pages, so that when I get to the tablet at 7:30, the current day's newspapers are open, the Washington post is loaded and the Front Pages app is loaded. There would have to be 6 clicks and the clicks would have to be on the browser download page and there are timing and positioning issues there. Obviously, there's a configuration issue between the test tablet and the main tablet.
Where I really think a universal solution exists is for the pdf reader to open the document directly. I've tried reading the chrome://flags and chrome://chrome-urls to find a difference between the test tablet and the main tablet. I can't find a difference. I also, just now, checked to see what happens if I put the address in the browser on the main, typing cdn.freedomforum.org/dfp/pdf15/NY_NYT.pdf (The number in the url is the day of the month, so that link will only work on the 15th and 16th of the month and typically only after 7:00 am.) It tries to download the page instead of opening it. So there are two potential solutions. Either I fix chrome to open PDFs like it does on the test tablet, or I fix the macro to tell the pdf reader to open the file at that location.
The problem for me is that I don't know how to execute either one of those solutions.
