Description
Status quo
Right now, by default Views derived from DisplayViewController have a "more" (3 dots) button in the top right corner allowing to perform actions like delete, move, open in on the currently viewed file. PDF viewer however disables this button and instead displays a row of 3 other button items (ToC, search, goto page). The more button in this case is not displayed since otherwise the navigation bar becomes cluttered.
What problem shall we solve
We shall come up with a concept how to wisely use space in the navigation bar while still providing actions user will likely want to be able to perform for the particular file type (image, pdf etc).

Research direction
Start by comparing the default Views derived from DisplayViewController with the PDF viewer's navigation bar and its existing actions. Develop a toolbar concept for file previews that balances file actions such as delete, move, and open in with type-specific controls such as the PDF viewer's ToC, search, and page navigation; done means a clearly defined concept for the relevant file types.
