Hello,

when I rename a PDF file in Windows Explorer and insert a # in the file name, I get an error message in the file preview. Other special characters that Windows accepts do not cause problems.

If I put the # at the beginning of the filename, the content of the folder is displayed to me in the view of a browser.

is this a known bug?
can i fix the error?

Remove the # from the filename.

For what it's worth, you should be able to open such files with File > Open. You may have to give up on double clicking on them.

open by double click works fine. it's about the bug. it has time until adobe addresses the problem or someone offers a solution that allows file preview in this scenario. thanks for your reply

Sorry, I missed the connection to preview. The info that double click works is useful. Well, it may be a bug, but you seem to be the first to mention it in these forums. It won't be fixed unless someone reports with a bug report.
