--- Comment #1 from wjb at williamjbowman.com ---
I found a workaround that suggests this may have something to do with the WSL 2
path. If we remount WSL 2 as a drive explicitly, we can open files using
Okular.

1. Navigate to `\\wsl$` in Explorer.
2. Right click on the `<wsl-name>` folder and click "Map network drive...".
3. Mount the folder as a new drive, such as `Z:`.
4. Open the same PDF from `Z:path\to\file.pdf` instead of from
`\\wsl$\<wsl-name>\path\to\file.pdf`. It will open correctly.
