On windows, why does this work:
acrord32.exe //server/myfile.pdf
But this doesn't:
acrord32.exe https://www.xyz.com/myfile.pdf
"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
However you can File->Open using a http url just fine but just not from a command line.
Can someone successfully open a pdf from the command line using HTTP path?

Many Windows apps take a file name on the command line
\\server\point\file.pdf
c:\tmp\file.pdf
are both normal Windows file names in all apps.
URLs are not windows file names. That would be an entirely different feature.
