Why can't UIDocumentPickerViewController choose PDFs?

I am using UIDocumentPickerViewController in Import mode and it shows PDFs on iCloud and Dropbox. However they are all greyed out and I cannot select them. What am I doing wrong?

For iOS 14 or later, use init(forOpeningContentTypes:)

import UniformTypeIdentifiers

let pickerViewController = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [
     UTType.pdf
])
pickerViewController.delegate = self
present(pickerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Try the following 

@IBAction func PdfBtn(_ sender: Any) {

     let importMenu = UIDocumentMenuViewController(documentTypes: 
          ["public.composite-content"], in: .import)

     importMenu.delegate = self
     present(importMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

First 

import MobileCoreServices

now you're eable to access new values such as

String(kUTTypePDF)

Finally, in your Document View Controller

let importMenu = UIDocumentMenuViewController(documentTypes: [String(kUTTypePDF)], in: .import)

enjoy

You need to provide the types of documents that the user is allowed to select.

let docTypes = [
        "com.adobe.pdf"
    ]

let docViewCtlr = UIDocumentMenuViewController(documentTypes: docTypes, in: .import)
