Linux Couldn't access full permission file
I've a file in /var/ folder which is created by www-data application. Ownership and permission of the file is,
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 74214 Feb 18 17:00 sample.pdf
I tried to access this pdf by using non sudo user.
pdftk /var/myproj/www/sample.pdf
It gives me the error,
Unable to find file.
Error: Failed to open PDF file:
/var/myproj/www/sample.pdf
For the sake, I've changed the permission to '777' and tried to access the same again.
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 74214 Feb 18 17:00 sample.pdf
This time also I'm getting the same error. I have changed that directory permission also to 777. But It gives me the same error why? My ubuntu version is '18.04'.

Unable to find filemakes me think the file just isn't located where you expect it to be. Please edit your post and add the output ofls -ld /var /var/myproj /var/myproj/www /var/myproj/www/sample.pdf.

I believe you need to set the permission on that specific file. And I do not recommend setting those permission on a folder, it is very insecure
So it would be
chmod 777 /var/myproj/www/sample.pdf
There is also a chance you don't own the file, so
chown your-user /var/myproj/www/sample.pdf
Please note that certain application will automatically rechange permissions back to default, and sudo is usually needed to change file permissions.
