its not ideal but I figured out if I select the PDF and share via WhatsApp I get to preview it before sending. At least I can view the file then cancel the sending.

Apple please fix a key feature that has worked for nearly a decade perfectly!

I’m having the same problem. I submitted a bug report. I also noticed I can’t attach PDFs to emails. The only way I can view them is if I send them to good drive and then open. But even from there I can’t send them via email.
