Only iWork documents... Can not share PDF files. I'll use my Google Drive or Amazon Prime clouds.
i Prefer using Apple's wonderfully integrated products but Pages etc. can't get files from iCloud unless it created them.

I believe it can be done, however one must use a third party application such as Good Reader, Readdle, PDF Expert, or Adobe Reader.

Here's the link for use with Readdle -- https://helpspot.readdle.com/pdfexpert/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=569

Alternatively you could just use another third party application such as Google Drive like you suggested, which I use extensively and can confirm it very easy to share.
