    Hi,
    I'm encountering an issue with opening PDF files from a case management program running in Parallels Desktop on macOS. The program uses a network path like \\192.168.1.1\Ws... to access files. When I try to open a PDF from the program, Adobe launches on the macOS side but doesn't load the specific file. However, if I open the same PDF directly from the Parallels Desktop environment (e.g., the Windows desktop), it opens normally in Adobe on macOS. Parallels Tools are installed, and file sharing seems to work otherwise. Has anyone else faced this issue with network paths and Adobe in Parallels? Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it?
