Description

PDF files are missing 'Open in' in the menus, which makes Nextcloud hard to integrate with other applications. I use the device for sheet music, and have a larger archive accessible via Nextcloud. There is no way to get files from Nextcloud to outside ('share'), like you can do with other files, such as audio and video.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app with a PDF, then compare its menus with the audio and video files that already support sharing. Done means PDF files expose an equivalent “Open in” or share action for sending them to other applications.
