PDF Files Open 'Scrambled'

When opening PDFs on a new ipad they appear as per the screenshot. Completely unreadable. I've recently upgraded iPads and this has just started happening. All files appear and open correctly on Mac.

iPad Pro (6th generation)

Files app stopped opening PDFs For some unexplained reason I can no longer open PDFs in the Files app on my iPad Pro. It worked fine until last night, and now when I attempt to open a PDF, all I get is a blank page with the file name, type and size. The same files open fine in Acrobat. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Files app, with no change. Any thoughts?
