Mike:
An update and a d'oh...
Math was never my strong suit and apparently neither is moving decimal points...
The problem PDF file in question wasn't 16 MB's or even 60, it was 600!! The result of someone (not me) scanning a ton of scores as JPEG's and saving them as a PDF.
Using Acrobat I managed to reduce the file size from 600 to 100 MB's. I tried transferring the 100 MB PDF to my MobileSheets database via the Companion and despite being a tad slow, when the "Connection to PC Status Log" said it was done, it was done and I could disconnect by clicking disconnect.
The NEW slimmer & trimmer file opened just fine, albeit microscopically slower than 10 K files with NO black screen.
I hope this unclouded this mystery a bit for you.
