I tested the file by placing another PDF file named "wu2019compression.pdf"
next to it. The PDF file can be opened in the main view both via Ctrl+D and the
context menu ("View Document" -> "Local files") as well as when opening the
editing dialog, switching to tab "External" and opening the file using the
button next to the filename's entry.
I suspect that there is another problem on your machine, causing problems here.
Opening a PDF file is, for KBibTeX, a simple operation asking the desktop
environment to open a file with the associated tool (e.g. Okular). KBibTeX does
not receive any feedback whether this succeeded or not.
To mimic KBibTeX's opening request, using a terminal in KDE, navigate to the
directory where "wu2019compression.pdf" is located. Then, issue these commands:
xdg-open wu2019compression.pdf
kde-open wu2019compression.pdf
kde-open5 wu2019compression.pdf
I am not sure which will be available, may depend on your distribution and
package selection. Please report back what happens (output in terminal, error
message, success?).
