How do I fix the 'Couldn't load content' error for viewing PDF files on iPad?

Hi! I'm getting this error on select pdfs stored in Dropbox when I try and access from my iPad.  File is accessible via iPhone and Desk Top on the same network without any problems.   Thanks!

    Seem I've found the fix by clearing the cache so I'm posting it in case someone else has the same problem.  Just discovered this feature as I'm usually a Desktop user.

     

    On your iPad go to:  Account (bottom left) /Settings (gear top left)

    Click on "Clear Cache"

     

    That should fix it nicely!
