Unable to open a PDF document previously accessed

Question

Hello, I have been trying to open a PDF that I have accessed recently and whenever I try a pop up message reads "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." I went to preferences and unchecked "Enable Protected Mode at Startup" then selected "yes" but nothing has changed.

Try following the steps mentioned in this microsoft article:

I had the same issue, it was due to the file name length (too long), reduced the name down and file opened without issue.

Is this document on a network drive? Try copying the PDF to your C drive and see if it opens from there.
