RE: Sharepoint Workspace - Office applications - Office 365

When I double click on a pdf in a sharepoint workspace directory nothing happens. I know that the file has been downloaded. Office files open fine.

Hi John,

Please check if there is icon as below screenshot before the pdf file. If not, the file wasn’t downloaded. You can click the “Check Out” icon, and then open it again to check the issue.

Thanks,

Hello

please check if you see a "square' icon just at left on the filename

if this is shown, that's means the file is not downloaded and not available offline

can you also try to open the PDF file from the SharePOint site through the web site (you will have to save it before opening); it may be corrupted

Hi John,

I am experiencing the same kind of issue. I is like sharepoint Workspace was doing a check with the server before allowing you to open it.

May be it takes time because of you network access
