PDF does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any apps from Safari.

Hi,


After update to iOS 5, I noticed that PDFs in Safari does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any other apps. The option is available, however, nothing happens when I click on it. Has anyone else experienced such an issue?


Thanks,

Bibin

I have exactly the same issue.


Here is something even more bizarre.


If I go in Safari to


arxiv.org/abs/1012.4362


and click on the link to the pdf it displays it in Safari fine, but wont open it in GoodReader (it will upload it to dropbox but then isnt viewable in there).


However, if I go to the same link in Opera, click on the pdf then, as usual, it opens the pdf in Safari. But now the pdf *can* be uploaded to GoodReader from Safari!
