I'm running 13.1, and noticed that pdf file attachments are popping the share sheet, rather than opening a preview of the PDF. Is anyone else having this issue?
 
I have the same problem since I upgraded my Ipad to IOS 13: I cannot open pdfs from e-mail app nor any other app (such as the files app); when I tap the pdf it opens the share dialogue. Works normal on my Iphone after update to IOS13. Any ideas what could be wrong?

This is the same issue I was having. Only way to open it is to share to an app like dropbox then open it there.

There is def a bug and I’m not sure what configuration causes it.
 
I am on 13.1.2 on both Iphone and Ipad. On my iphone pdfs open normally. On my Ipad the pdf icons look differently and pdfs don’t open; I get the share dialogue ech time I want to open a pdf be it from the mail app, the files app or Safari. It seems that the OS does not recognize them as pdf!
 
I’m on 13.1.2 and PDF’s open fine for me as well.
No issues at all, they are visible in the email straight away and tap on them and they open straight up.

Found the issue. Deleting the ‚Alibaba‘ app fixed the issue for me. Do not ask me why. Seems to be an iOS13 bug.
