Troubleshooting
When trying to start a PDF document from buildagil via "Open in PDF app" in Foxit, the program may abort with the message "File not found. Check if the file has been moved, renamed or deleted.".
This can be caused by an outdated path in Foxit's internal history cache, which is not accessing the current file in buildagil. The history cache can be reset by opening the "History" division in the Foxit settings. The value for "Maximum number of documents" can be temporarily set to 0, which clears the cache.
Foxit file not found, Open PDF failed, Foxit history cache, Reset MRU list, SharePoint path error, Foxit settings history, Open PDF from SharePoint, Clear Foxit cache
