Hey SandyDombroski, I hope you're doing well! 

 

Is that a shared link that you created, or that someone else shared with you? 

 

Have you tried a different browser in order to access it, by any chance? As for the Excel file, is it in your account, or is it also a shared link? 

 

If you have any screenshots, feel free to send them over. 

 

Thanks a bunch!

This is what I get when I try to access this excel file, that I created from another computer.  I have never had trouble pulling files up on this PC though.

 

My PDFs are now magically working!!! So I am good on that.
