i am not able to open PDF attachemnts with Preview in an email and get a message No Permission to Open. when i go to Finder to get info the permission is there to read . Is there a bug in Preview
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
There are several threads open on this; you can see them commencing since the day 11.6.6 came out. I have posted in every one of those and there is no "workaround" except closing Preview every time you want to open an attachment. then clicking Open for another attachment, which will open that attachment, then quitting Preview and going through the same routine over and over again for each attachment. The same holds true for .jpg's, Word, Excel attached to Outlook, to Mail ...
I can assure you that giving full disc permissions for Outlook does not remedy the issue.
Please submit a bug report to Apple ... this problem is not going to get fixed until they know it is affecting many folks. Perhaps the best way to submit the report is to use your Feedback Assistant.

Has something changed recently that may have contributed to this problem?
You may try giving Preview "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy (though it should not usually be necessary) and see if that helps.
Nothing changed it just started this morning .. this is the message I get . I have added Preview to Full Disk Access before trying to open the below attachment .
Could it be a problem with the specific file?
If you try opening an attachment that you could open before, does it open?
Ok thank you I will report now. I appreciate your efforts in trying to help. Cheers for now Penny
Same story I tried to open another PDF that I had weeks ago and this is the same error message . Both from different people.
What happens if you save the attachment to a folder in your mac? Are you then able to open in Preview?
I can open if I move attachment to Desktop but I get a lot of attachments each day ... used to work perfectly
Issue resolved. Apple just release 11.6.7
PDF no longer opening with Preview permission not allowed
