We have this issue too and not only PDF. We cannot use links showed in the old lay-out without changing them. The new lay-out provides a stupid way to create a link to a document. Looks like this: https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/SITECOLLECTION/SITE/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=osHOQG%2f9ciYOQWUyz307yDlextREKOQIb1aAxT4%2biSU%3d&folderid=2_10cb1beb594b845dbaba22c02cb033256&rev=1 So if you want to share a link to a document with someone you'll get an unreadable link OR you'll have to share the document, even if that someone already has access.

    I think the issue you have EdjeZ is a different one. If you click on "Get a link" in the Call out, a link is created which can be shared to someone, granting him/her permissions to only this specific element whithout you have to share it specificly. To be honest, I don#t know why this is done automatically, but you can remove this link by going to the "Get a link" menu again and click on remove.

     

     

    Eric Deferm we also have opened a ticket for this behavior. The only feedback we've received until yet, is that Microsoft can reproduce the issue and will forward this internally.

      No, we DO have the same problem with the link in the call out (classic view).

      I referred to "get a link" in the new modern view lay-out because I was hoping we could get a working link there, but that didn't work either.

       

      We submitted a ticket too.

        A little bit late, but I forgot to mention that the issue has been solved. Tested: Office formats (inc.Visio) , pictures, PDF. They all work again.
