for some reason my apple mail will no longer open .pdf attachments - it keeps giving me this error: 

The operation could not be completed as Acrobat Pro DC doesn't have permission to access: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads/CD71C5BD-6D32-48BC-A5E5-D6F03007E5D4/. Launch privacy settings to grant access?

 

So I go an give it access, which it already has and it still doesnt work.  Can anyone help?

For some reason this isnt working.  I am on a mac Big Sur 11.6.6  Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - 2022.001.200112

 

I am getting this over and over. I go to privacy and check to allow adobe to access files, I have also tried it unchecked.  I havent changed anything on my mac recently.

 

PLEASE HELP ME!
