Does anyone have a fix, or Idea how to resolve PDF files not being able to be opened or downloaded from One Drive? I sometimes get an error saying "can't start partner application" otherwise the file is there, allows me to select "Open" but nothing actually happens?

First of all, I recommend updating macOS to version 13.1. I good number of issues were fixed in the current version. In general, it also helps if you can provide the make/model of your Mac, as well as the amount of RAM and the size of the startup drive/SSD.

What application is assigned to open PDF files as default? Are you opening the PDF file from its location (One Drive)? Try copying it to a local folder (e.g., Desktop folder) and opening it from there. Have you tried right-clicking the file and selecting Open With and specifying your app of choice? Try opening it with another PDF app.

Even though I have Office 365, I do not use OneDrive. I had issues with it in the past and never bothered to try it again. But if a local copy of the PDF file opens without issue, it might be time to look into problems with OneDrive.
