Can't open pdf files on samsung Galaxy s4

[AC Question]

I've never had a problem opening pdf files until the last few days. Now they won't open using any of the default readers and adobe reader etc. have tried saving and downloading the file first and accessing via file manager but no good. Comes up with empty file or can't read file. Have downloaded various file managers to try as well as clear all caches etc and even did a factory reset. Still the same problem opening them. Any other solutions?
