  • Are you showing the pdf in the browser by clicking on the file in SharePoint? If so, check to see if it is locked by a browser plugin. Please check user permissions, try removing them and adding them again. Also, switch browsers to see if the same thing happens. If it's open in the app, it's not a good idea to go back to the classic view unless you roll back the version. Commented Nov 3, 2022 at 10:22
  • Are you showing the pdf in the browser by clicking on the file in SharePoint? If so, check to see if it is locked by a browser plugin. Please check user permissions, try removing them and adding them again. Answer: This is the way it works for everyone. Also tried another permission and works the same way. Also, switch browsers to see if the same thing happens. Answer: Can't use other browsers. If it's open in the app, it's not a good idea to go back to the classic view unless you roll back the version. Also, I need the PDF to open in a new tab. Commented Nov 3, 2022 at 12:26
