Cannot open PDFs from a specific network folder / must copy to desktop

Hi All

I've got the same Issue. I figuered out, that on one Folder i did not get the List right. e.g \a\b\c misses List right on B. Granting the Right opens the PDF. Opening a JPG without the List right works, it's only with PDF (doc, xls all are fine)

We wan't to "protect" the Files by not showing the Folder b to the Users. Only the Systeme knows about the fully qualified Path. If you try this localy it also shows the same behavior! i've removed the inheritance on folder b and c and then removed all rights from b (with even prevent me the deletion of the folder...). Browsing to the folder ist now not possible anymore. but putting the FQ Path c:\a\b\c into the File Explorere shows me the PDF as expected. Double clicking on it opens the PDF NOT anymore....
very stange as if i but a JPG into this folder (or any other document) they open as expected.

Any Ideas?

PS: right click and "open with" and choosing notepad opens the file! it seams that it is a Reader Applikation Issue only!!!

I realize this is a seven forum, but I had the same issue and believe it's not a 7 problem. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. My solution:
In Adobe, go to Open and browse to the network drive. If it is not there, right-click My Computer (or This PC in w10) and do map drive. Map the drive as if you were in Windows itself.
Hope this helps someone else.

Couldn't get them to bite off on that, but they adjusted my permissions, reboot, and had me try something else.
Get this: (simplifying the path)
My O:\ drive is mapped to //flower/a/

My problem is with O:\b\c\d\*.pdf

If I put in the address bar: //flower/a/b/c/d I can open the PDFs just fine.

I tried un-mapping and re-mapping O: to no avail.

So I mapped //flower/a/b/c/d as "F:\" and all is well.

I just have to make sure that I use my F: path when accessing those folders rather than the O:\ path.

Still annoying but not TOO bad of a work-around I guess.

Maybe due to \ / forward & backward slash, as which is correct to use.
If could be the way on which forward or backward slash is correct or not.

Backward slash \ for explorer
Or
Forward slash / for network &or IP Address.
