@wuj Long shot. as this should affect all browsers... are you subject to Group Policy Objects? We've encountered odd behaviors with pdf files and GPOs via VPN. If so, find the GPO .xml file and delete it. Reboot and try again. The .xml file may even be a legacy file from a previous VPN connection.

The GPO file may include something like this:

<Association Identifier=".pdf" ProgId="AcroExch.Document.DC" ApplicationName="Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" />

Do you have a pdf reader installed?

@leocg Sorry, the download link in https://www.opera.com/computer/portable is not a portable version, it needs to install before running. I compared the download file, it is same as the version from https://download.opera.com/download/get/?partner=www&opsys=Windows&arch=x64.

@888larson I did not use VPN to visit the web, but directly. As you mentioned if the reason is due to the VPN, then all browsers should be affected, but the edge is OK as the attachment.
I have acrobat installed in my computer to read the pdf files, and it works fine.

@wuj Portable doesn't mean that you don't need to install,it means that both installation and data files are put together.

@wuj Those are not official versions and may not work for the testing.

@leocg OK, I tried to download the version from https://www.opera.com/computer/portable, and the screen shot of the installation is just like this.

Are you sure this is the portable version? The Help->about opera menu screen shot is:

And it still fails to open the pdf file, the screen shot is:

@wuj Yes, it is. In fact it's just the regular installer set up for standalone installation mode.

@wuj Strange, your Opera://about screen shot shows that it isn't a portable installation. Did you download the portable installer and ran it without any changes?

@leocg I downloaded opera just from https://www.opera.com/computer/portable, and ran it without any changes. But I do not think that web address give me a portable version opera, maybe that is another bug of the website. Leocg, I think you can try to download from https://www.opera.com/computer/portable to tell that. If it was possible, will you please give me a directly URL to download the portable version opera. My OS is Win 10.

@wuj said in opera can't open pdf in new version:

https://www.opera.com/computer/portable

I download the portable edition from the link and ran the portable setup file. It defaulted to "standalone installation" mode with "C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera" as the install path. Then, I actually installed.

Install: C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera
Profile: C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera\profile\data
Cache: C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera\profile\data

So, all good for me.

https://www.analog.com/media/cn/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ada4099-1_cn.pdf in Opera 87.0.4390.45 64-bit on Windows 11 Version 21H2 (Build 22000.675) in the USA with en_US locale, loads fine for me, and is displayed correctly.

With Opera's VPN enabled, with all locations, I get "access denied".

Would this apply here?
Built-in PDF viewer is not working
