Primary Keys are usually shown to users. May it be your bank account number, your user id on platform X - it's not a problem in general, as long as the access in your application is limited properly.

In general, no, it is not dangerous, unless you are using that document ID as a secret key somewhere else in your system. Since we don't know exactly how you're using this ID, it's not really possible to say for sure.
