Microsoft Edge PDF file problems
Typical MS I typed this message in and MS decided I was not logged in - so I logged in and lost the message - had to type it all again! Warning to you all - make a copy of your message before you submit your message.
Microsoft Edge (MSE) is MS new offering in Windows 10 for viewing PDF files, I like it with one big BUT.
MSE will not open files from a Subst drive/folder, a facility I use a lot.
I have a NAS drive used as a backup/server and despite several complaints on the web files on my NAS drive can be viewed OK.
Examples:
1. Data Drive F: (Physical Drive)
file:///F:/P/ABC/Removal%20Documentation/Job%20Documents/Job%20123/Air%20Test%20123.pdf
MSE opens this file OK
2. NAS Drive (Mapped as U: )
file:///U:/ABC/Removal%20Documentation/Job%20Documents/Job%20123/Air%20Test%20123.pdf
MSE opens this file OK
3. Subst P: F:\P (Subst used to create drive P: )
file:///P:/ABC/Removal%20Documentation/Job%20Documents/Job%20123/Air%20Test%20123.pdf
MSE displays
Hmm, we can’t reach this page.
Physically this file is the same as Example 1 but MSE does not find the file.
Does anyone know if this is likely to be fixed or should I look for a different PDF Reader?
