It sounds like you're dealing with a complex issue regarding PDF previews in SharePoint, and it's certainly frustrating when some work while others do not. A 401 error typically points to authentication problems, so there are several areas to explore:

  1. Recheck Permissions: Ensure permissions are set correctly at all levels—files, folders, and libraries. Double-check that no permissions have been inadvertently changed.

  2. Authentication Settings: Review SharePoint’s authentication configurations and any Single Sign-On (SSO) settings that could be causing issues.

  3. File Paths and Size: Verify that the PDF files are not corrupt and that file paths do not contain special characters or exceed length limits.

  4. Consult Logs: Check SharePoint and browser logs for any additional clues.
