Hi mansukh24686526hf9t,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Please let us know if the workflow was working fine before the update. Check if this happens with all the PDFs or particular ones.

Would you mind sharing the sample PDF so we can look into this?

Share the Acrobat Reader and OS version on your iOS device. 

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi @mansukh24686526hf9t,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader Mobile.

 

Are you linking the file using an internal link? If yes, it is unlikely to open. 

If you are linking the file using an online database link, it should work like usual.

 

Please share the sample file and a screen recording of the workflow for better understanding and assistance.

 

Look forward ti hearing from you.

Hi @mansukh24686526hf9t,

 

That is exactly what I was referring to.

 

The files are linked to a specific file location, but the file directory on the mobile device works differently.

 

The workflow you shared works on my system but not on my phone or iPad.

 

However, let me check on this with the team and get back to you.
