FYI, I found somebody else may encounter similar situation: (I have some similar situation in this thread that some of my record with attached pdf file will show up as exactly the same as “This URL(\) could not be launched”)
I have plenty of these files and don’t wanna to reattach it again, then found it defective some time later. Could you please fix this bug? Thanks.

Hello,
I am a student and fairly new to EndNote, but I am having this same problem with EndNoteX3 on a Windows 7 machine. I have tried the batch file work-around and I still get the same error message. I have found that if I clear the attached PDF and reattach it, it works just fine (for now…), but I’m not going to manually reattach the PDFs for >300 articles. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the batch file trick didn’t work, or another method for fixing this problem?
Other interesting factoids that might help:
-
Not all my EndNote references are doing this, just the vast majority of them
-
My library is not stored locally on my computer, rather the library and all the PDFs are stored online on DropBox and I have been building this library from my desktop at home and my laptop at school.
-
There does not appear to be a correlation between which computer I was using at the time when I created the reference and which ones give an error message when attempting to open the attached PDFs.
Thanks,
-Greg-
