I am running Ubuntu 18:04 & I have a problem opening some pdf files, I get a message saying access denied/file does not exist. I have previously been able to open them, something has gone wrong.

          permission errors are happened due to simply PERMISSIONS



          right-click on that file -> select properties -> permission tap
          and set the options in an appropriate way



          or



          in terminal :



          sudo chmod o+w /path/of/ur/file/file.pdf
