I am exporting data from SDE to PDF and would like url's associated with each grid to open a file.
I have created the path for each url within an attribute creator and associated it with the PDFSTYLER.

If you change it opening weblink or opening a file etc etc doesnt change the way it adds all those random symbols in the link when you actually link it.
As a test I would try and paste your proper file path into a browser like chrome to see what happens. You may notice that the browser automatically changes the \ to forward slashes and includes a file:// at the beginning of the URL.
Consider changing the AttributeCreator to something more like what you see in the browser - perhaps something more like this:
If the N drive is a network drive I would recommend using a UNC path instead of having your path mapped to 'N'.
The other thing which I notice is that for some reason the '&' character is getting dropped. In the site linked above I see that & is equivalent to %26 so perhaps even this would work better:
