This is what I get when I try to open the .pdf
then launching privacy settings, gives me this window
which doesn't help as far as I can tell. So any ideas on how I can see the contents of the .pdf that arrived in Mail ?

Save it to your Desktop and open it from there.

Huh? I don't see any Full Disk Access in the Privacy window?
At the top of the window I have "Enable Location Services" and the box is already checked but the entire line is greyed out.
Below this line I have "allow the apps and services below to determine your location"
Dragging the .pdf out of the e-mail and on to the Desktop does allow for the opening of the file but just out of academic interest, I'll pursue the lead that you have given me which should result in me being able to open the .pdf just by clicking on it while it's still in the e-mail. So then, once again, how do I add Full Disk Access?
ah yes - it was there all along but you had to scroll down which I didn't realize - OK I did as you suggested and Voilà - I can now open the .pdf right in the e-mail rather than having to drag it out to the Desktop first - thanks!
Adobe Reader isn't asking for the correct permission. It should have requested access to your files.
Add it in the Full Disk Access section of Privacy.
yes - that worked - thanks!
Look in the sidebar next to the pane you have screenshot.
