I had a look at a non-representative amount of PDF files taken from
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:PDF_files_affected_by_MediaWiki_restrictions

I encountered the following problems:
* PDF renders fine on local machine but does not on the servers due to resource
limitations. Ex: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banner30a%C3%B1os.pdf
& https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Cox_and_box.pd
-> There is no "real" fix for those files. One could higher the limits but this
would had an impact on the server performance. 
* Corrupt PDF. Such as "File did not complete the page properly and may be
damaged." or "Please notify the author of the software that produced this file
that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF specification." Ex:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boca_y_su_historia.pdf &
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Commons_upload_and_my_uploads_android_workflows.pdf
-> Possible fix: Repair those files by bot or use another software which is
less strict to process PDF files. Though changing the viewer could also
introduce more problems or new bugs...
