My process with PDF's is v similar - have a look to see if worth converting, mine are often riddled with sidebars, tables, infographics etc which usually means they're not suitable.
But it suggests the 'viewer' had a role to play in the disappearance - not that it did it off its own bat, but that it did something to trigger something else into disappearing the file.
Did your rebuild necessitate recreating the software environment - OS, file system, dropping/replacing daemons etc, etc.
