I've had two customers recently who could not access their download. This is the note I received from the 2nd customer when she requested the order be cancled:
Note for seller: This pattern will not download - When I try to open the download I get this message:
This site can’t be reached The webpage at file:///C:/Users/Pat/Downloads/ManyTripsAroundtheWorldNotTooScrappy_6Colors.pdf might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

@TripQuilts: Don't have any advice, but the URL that your buyer provided is a local (to them) location not a web address. Shouldn't the download URL have an etsy dot com location?
Did they try the download from a computer? On my computer, the download window opens to the right on my browser and then shows the download on the browser. I can then save the download to any file I want to. I'm not sure about the URL she gave you. It sounds like she copied it as a path but that is not necessary for downloads on Etsy. When I save to the file I want to the download address changes to that file with the name of the pattern.
Is she using a computer or the app? The app cannot open digital downloads. She needs to do it from a computer.
Does she download the item? It opens on her computer in the browser? (I use Edge) From there I can save. There is no path which would put it in the C drive. Maybe ask ehr the steps she takes import the download into her computer. I just download and then save to documents
Maybe someone more tech savvy can help.
