Okay, I can reproduce this on Android. iOS Web and Desktop are fine. As the user is not blocked from sending PDFs and it only occurs on one platform I'm removing the deployBlocker label.

[Julesssss]

Viewing a previously shared attachment works fine, when sending an attachment you are able to scroll for about a second, and then it becomes slow and janky.

[Julesssss]

I can't see any recent change which would have introduced this. This PR from a month ago fixed PDF pan and zoom and may have been the cause.

It was originally fixed here by @rdjuric, so maybe you would like to look into this issue too, once I make it external?

The problem lies inside a Modal component used in AttachmentModal.
If attachment is PDF we pass CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED_UNSWIPEABLE as Modal type, otherwise CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED. This works correctly and passes 'centered_unswipeable' when we select PDF attachment. However, modal seems to ignore it, since scrolling is unavailable. If we just hardcode 'centered_unswipeable' as modal type, everything works as expected, scroll is available. I'm not sure what kind of magic is happening here, since in both cases we pass identical strings, but I wasn't able to track the root cause of this issue.
However, if we store modalType in state and update it every time file changes, scrolling starts working.

Proposal:

1. Add modalType key to state

this.state = {
    isModalOpen: false,
    isConfirmModalOpen: false,
    file: null,
    sourceURL: props.sourceURL,
    modalType: CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED_UNSWIPEABLE,
};

2. Implement getModalType method inside AttachmentModal component

getModalType(sourceUrl, file) {
    const modalType = (sourceUrl
        && (Str.isPDF(sourceUrl) || (file && Str.isPDF(file.name || this.props.translate('attachmentView.unknownFilename')))))
        ? CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED_UNSWIPEABLE
        : CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED;
    return modalType;
}

3. Update modal type inside displayFileInModal

displayFileInModal: ({file}) => {
    if (!this.isValidSize(file)) {
        this.setState({isConfirmModalOpen: true});
        return;
    }
    if (file instanceof File) {
        const source = URL.createObjectURL(file);
        const modalType = this.getModalType(source, file);
        this.setState({
            isModalOpen: true,
            sourceURL: source,
            file,
            modalType,
        });
    } else {
        const modalType = this.getModalType(file.uri, file);
        this.setState({
            isModalOpen: true,
            sourceURL: file.uri,
            file,
            modalType,
        });
    }
},
