There was an error opening the document. The file size exceeds
the limit allowed and cannot be saved PDF Error
When opening a pdf file from SharePoint, you get an error message and the file will not open. "There was an error opening the document. The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved".
Issue: This is caused by a download limit in the registry settings. It is not related to the file size upload limit set in SharePoint central admin.
Solution: Make a change in the registry settings.
