Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The system report is not displayed, stating that the report is exported as a PDF

What is the root cause of that problem?

BE doesn't return the report action of the export as a PDF and we don't handle this system message in our app

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

1. BE should return a report action with type EXPORTED_AS_PDF like we did with EXPORTED_TO_CSV action

2. We can create a new translation key for this

3. Handle this case like we did with CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.EXPORTED_TO_CSV here

App/src/libs/ReportActionsUtils.ts

Lines 1470 to 1471 in 19dbb47

	case CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.EXPORTED_TO_CSV:
	return translateLocal('report.actions.type.exportedToCSV');

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

None

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
