For the benefit of others with the same problem: Today I have tried a different solution. I now use GoodReader app, which syncs with Dropbox. Ideally there would be a PDF reader service I could use straight from dropbox to read large PDFs (with the function to edit and save reading position/progress) but sadly not. For the benefit of others with this same problem, try GoodReader app, it's not free, but it's doing the job.

Hey Olbliss, sorry for the late reply. 

I'm glad to hear that you found a workaround to this, but if you're still having trouble, it might be worth contacting Adobe directly in case they have more info. 

Let me know of any updates and, in the meantime, have a lovely day ahead!
