I followed a youtube tutorial which worked in a project on its on but as soon as tried the same thing in the app I am working on it came up with the above error. I have not done anything differently. I have triple checked all my code and connections for spelling errors.

import Foundation
import UIKit
import WebKit

class AboutAppController: UIViewController {

    let pdfTitle1 = "How to use the App"

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    @IBAction func howToUseTheAppAction(_ sender: Any) {
        if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: pdfTitle1, withExtension: "pdf") {
            let webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame)
            let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
            webView.load(urlRequest as URLRequest)

            let pdfVC = UIViewController()
            pdfVC.view.addSubview(webView)
            pdfVC.title = pdfTitle1
            self.navigationController?.pushViewController(pdfVC, animated: true)    }
    }

}

I expect for the PDF file to open in a new web view

You can check in your storyboard file. I think you can missing or duplicate IBOulet. even you can forget remove old IBOulet, Which was deleted.
