Your PDF viewing application may be the limiting factor here. Can you open the file directly from the application?

Yes, when i open from windows explorer it works fine. But from XY it is not working. I am using Foxit PDF reader if you know any settings there.

Can you show the error message that you get in XYplorer?

It gives error in Foxit but is working fine with Adobe Acrobat DC.

Actually we have to arrange like this our company's record. Looking for solution in foxit reader may be because adobe works fine with it.

The error message comes from Foxit. Looks like it cannot handle overlong filenames. Not XYplorer's problem :whistle:
