Why can't I open links from PDF page?

[Amanda5FAF]

I keep getting newsletters from work that open as PDF's. They frequently link to a sharepoint, and when I click them, I get a message that says "Acrobat does not allow connection to...(that url)". Is there a way to allow this connection? It is incredibly tedius to sift through everything on my company's sharepoint to find the specific document that's being shared.

Hi Amanda

We are sorry for the trouble. As described, you are unable to open the PDF file and get a message that says "Acrobat does not allow connection to.

For testing purpose, please try to turn off the protected mode (Windows Only). Go to Edit > Preferences > Enhanced Security > Uncheck 'Enable protected mode at startup', Turn Off the protected mode and Uncheck the Enhanced security > Click OK and restart the application.

Note: Turning off the security may possess security risk. Please turn on the security after testing.

You may also try the steps provided in the help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/allow-or-block-links-internet.html and see if that works for you.

You may also look at the similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/help-with-error-quot-adobe-acrobat-does-not-allow-conn... for more information.

Let us know how it goes
