I just come here on this forum for the very same question
HOW TO DISABLE ON ANDROID THE EMBEDDED PDF (AND ANY OTHER TOO LIKE THE RECENTLY ADDED EXCEL!!!) VIEWER???????

I could "accept" to let it kick in for pdf files stored inside Dropbox, but not when, for example, I'm opening a pdf attached to an email!

Please add options for:
* enable PDF viewer YES/NO
- enable outside DB too? YES/NO
* enable "whatever" viewer YES/NO
- enable outside DB too? YES/NO
