Is an option box coming up with other choices of apps? I've heard that this will hold 10 options and no more. Have you downloaded other apps that are now filling this option? If so, a workaround may be to delete some of these apps and then try opening your PDF again. When you say reboot, do you mean a restart or reset here?
