Hello,
For a few weeks now, maybe since switching to Samsung Galaxy Note 20, I frequently have the following error message that appears when I want to download a PDF:

 

“This file could not be opened.  Check your connection or reduce the length of the file name.  "

So I can open less than half of the files I download.

My configuration ;
Adobe Acrobat Reader 21.2.0
Android 11
One UI 3.1

Regards,

Hi Didier

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you get the error:  This file could not be opened. Check your connection or reduce the length of the file name.when you try to download the PDF

 

What happens when you try to save the file with shorter name? Please try to shorten the name of the file when you try to download it and save  and see if that helps

 

Let us know if you experience any trouble and need more help.

 

Regards

Thanks for your answer.

These are files that I download from websites.

So I can't change their name.

See attached screenshots.
