Yes, starting to see this as well. Seems the preview is down for all types of files, not limited to pdf. Error message File activity items failed to load: Annotations

Box appears to be down - status page has not been updated yet.

Same.  Can't preview or open PDF's or docs or who know what else.  Apparently not able to upload files either.
