For some reason I can't watch/read pfd online. I use Chrome and Mac.

Every time I try to read, this message shows. It's partly in swedish and it says "access denied".

What the hell have I've done?

Here's a page to look at that addresses why PDFs may not show in your browser.
Troubleshoot viewing PDF files on the web

Most browsers (I think nearly all of them) can't read a PDF inside the browser. You can search for a browser plug-in to read PDFs within the browser window, but most have been discontinued over the past few years.

Workaround:

Download the PDF to your computer desktop and open it directly in either Acrobat Reader, Standard, or Pro.

Or any other brand of PDF viewer.
