We are experiencing the exact same issue. It has been frankly maddening, particularly to see similar threads dating back to 2015 indicating similar problems.
Disabling Protected Mode is not an option.

Just tested version 19.021.20056. Unfortunately not fixed yet.
I have sent the procmon logfiles to Amal. Hopefully this will help with the analysis.
(Problem exists since DFS is running on Windows Server 2019)

We have the same problem. We already sent over some process monitor log files months ago. It seems that there isn't a simple solution for this. See the other threads as well:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/open-two-pdfs-from-dfs-server-2019/td-p/10332133
Since disabling protected mode isn't really a solution for us, we will switch to other software till this is fixed.

Hi
I am having the same problem. My version acrobat reader is 23.001.20174.0 and only can open the pdf files if Enable Protected Mode at startup" under "Security (Enhanced)" is disabled. When trying to open a PDF file from a DFS network share via double-click in Windows Explorer and Reader DC already running, the file does not open, the error is "Error to open the document. The file doesn't find". I have introduced in the acrobat preferences the route of my shared dfs, but the problem continue. Please, could you help me?. Thanks

Hi,
I am going to post here the same info that I shared in a similar thread.
After much reading, I thinks the following references might be useful.
It seems like the DFS is preventing access to the namespace when a client tries to hit a folder target with Acrobat in protected mode .
Verify if when you add the absolute path for a priviledged location ,
that the namespace is not configured to issue referrals with the "insite" option.
See here for troubleshooting: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/975440/how-to-troubleshoot-distributed-file-system-namespac...
Enable the cross domain troubleshooting log in Reader / Acrobat and confirm if the messages that you get are not suggesting to "allow any" type of access which is the least restricted access policy, which would also defeat the purpose of using Enhanced Security and Protected Mode .
See here too: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/xdomain.html#policy-file-configuration
Since this seems to be not entirely related to Adobe Reader/Acrobat, there are a few more things that need to be observed:
I hope these references help.
