That's the correct behavior, because LibreOffice Viewer doesn't currently support PDF. (Claiming to support mime type "application/pdf" in the app's manifest would make LibreOffice appear in the list of apps to open the file, but then the app wouldn't be able to actually display the file correctly.) Do you have a specific reason why you want to open a PDF file in LibreOffice Viewer rather than a PDF viewer?
I fear this is out of scope, but I do think there's a valid reason for Libre Office to support PDFs in the Android viewer: decent FOSS PDF viewers for Android with essential features (specifically selecting text in line) are basically nonexistent. The only one I've been able to find is the Open Document Reader (Firefox's pdf.js on Android doesn't count here as it's a browser and not a document reader), which I guess might become obsolete because of Libre Office Viewer one day, when it evolves out of alpha. I haven't found a place to suggest features here, so I'm hoping this might be redirected to the appropriate place.

Thanks for your feedback/input. This reasoning is understandable, but for me still leaves the question whether the proper way forward wouldn't still be to improve the existing PDF viewers accordingly. > I haven't found a place to suggest features here, so I'm hoping this might > be redirected to the appropriate place. This is the right place when it comes to LibreOffice Viewer. (For missing features in existing PDF viewers for Android, they should have their own issue trackers, so I'd suggest requesting the missing features there as well.)
