I cannot add shortcuts to pdf. I tried ES File explorer, samsungs own file explorer and an app designed for oreo: pin pdf, nothing added the pdf to the homescreen…

I cannot add chrome shortcuts to Lightning Launcher on Oreo. It says that it successfully created the shortcut but nothing happens actually. Seems to be related to the Oreo update: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsUcjgZ3JccA8/?hl=by

I just bought this launcher today… This is somewhat disappointing :/
