Upgrade StorageCannot open PDFs
Hello,
I seem to have an issue when adding new files to Zotero. They won't open.
When I double click on a file in my library (recently added ones) the Adobe Acrobat Reader app is launched but the file does not open. This does not happen with my existing files. I double click and they open fine. This makes me think is something with a recent update?
I already reinstalled Adobe to see if that was the issue, I also tried using Preview and same thing happens, application gets launched but the file does not open.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you!

What macOS version?
Some more details:
- This does not always happen and I do not know when or when not. Here is the DOI to a paper which will cause this problem: dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.106.025001.
- Zotero actually *breaks the file* when copying it into the zotero folder. When doing right click -> "show file" and trying to open this file from the Finder window, nothing happens. This is independent of what PDF viewer I try (Preview, Acrobat Reader, Skim). Moreover, the original PDF file (before adding to zotero) works perfectly fine.
- I experienced the problem for the first time some weeks ago.
- MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a)
I would appreciate an help! Thanks!
