Note: This fix requires modifying your computer registry. If you are not familiar with modifying it, please refer to your VAR/IT department/specialist.

This error usually happens when a computer have multiple software to deal with PDF, typically a combination of adobe reader, adobe acrobat and foxit.

Fix :

1. Open your registry using the regedit.exe command.
2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Solidworks\Applications\PDMWorks Enterprise\FileFormats\.pdf.
3. You will see 3 registry value, which are “default”, “4”, and “8”.
4. Double Click on “4” to modify. You will something like this:
   ” HtmlPlugin.dll@AcroPDF.PDF
   HtmlPlugin.dll@FoxitReader.Document
   InsoPlugin.dll”.
5. Delete the first 2 lines so it looks like this:
   “InsoPlugin.dll”.
6. Close your registry. You will need to either restart explorer.exe through the task manager or restart your PC.
