When using a link to a PDF in SharePoint I can not Check Out

[wallacematt]

When using a link to a PDF in SharePoint I can not check out and it downloads to my local folder.  How can we make so when the workflow link is clicked we get the option to check out, edit and save back to SharePoint?  Our IT Guys have changed SharePoint config so when we open any PDF in SharePoint it give us the option to check out, but this does not work for links to PDFs.  We have both Adobe Acrobat Reader an Adobe Acrobat Pro DC with the same result.  I've read many threads about this with little clear solutions.

Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

Hi,

This may or may not be related to Acrobat or Reader.

You must ask this in a Microsoft support forum too to be thorough.

Also, see if any suggestions in this guidance can share some troubleshooting insights:
