Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images.  These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers.  However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page.  There was a problem reading this document (14)."   So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file.  However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it.  The file is written unencrypted.  It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

  • Some users can't open Xcelsius-generated PDFs

    I'm creating PDFs with Xcelsius Present 5.3.4 on Windows XP.  When I distribute them, some people can open and others cannot.  I haven't seen any obvious configuration difference and at least one person has had the problem after loading the latest Reader and Flash versions.  Any idea what else they should check?

    I get different reports but most common is either blank or it won't open at all.  One thing I tried today was sending a SWF.  One person who had a problem with the PDF couldn't open SWF but was able to read it when they navigated to it via their browser.  Does that sound like a clue?

  • I can't open Google on Firefox. All other browsers work fine...HELP!

    I have always had Google as my default opening site and now it won't load. All other sites load fine and I don't understand why Google wont and what to do to resolve this?

    Hey ya fella. I had this problem from two days ago and today I found the solution. You should disable some of your extensions to make FF run better. I don't know what extension exactly is the cause but I can think the FoxyProxy maybe.
    Try with each of 'em.

  • Can open PDF with Reader V 8 but not with V 9

    My Problem is that I can open the PDF  C0000000005.pdf with every Version of Adobe Reader, but the PDF  C0000000006.pdf only opens with older Versions then Adobe Reader 9.1.
    The Adobe Reader 9.1 can also display the PDF  C0000000006.pdf when I open another PDF before.
    Is this a bug or is there anything what is must change in the options?
    Thanks in advance,
    Martin

    I have install the Version 9.1.2 on another PC too.
    And when no Acrobat Reader is already open and I make a double click at the C000000006.pdf, the Reader can not show this PDF.
    But it works fine, when I open first the Acrobat Reader V9.1.2 and then I choice the PDF over the menu.
    What can be different on this two methods to open the PDF?

  • Windows 8.1 - problem opening pdf with reader

    Hi, I am using windows 8.1 (not touch). Every time I try to open a pdf with reader, it brings up a previous document and not the one i'm trying to open. As there are not many menu options with windows 8 I can only close it.
    Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to open pdf files. Thanks in advance

    I am having the same problem. Did you ever get a workable solution or anxwer?

  • I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

    I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

    Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

  • Batch.bat unable to generate PDFs with FM11 trial version & Elmsft 5.2 trial

    Hi,
    I am evaluating the trial version of Fm11 and FrameScript 5.2 (Elmsft) to generate PDFs using a Batch.bat file. I am able to generate stand alone PDFs with FM11. Now, I have created a Batch.bat file which calls BooksToPDF.fso and a filelist.txt, which contains the list of .book files. This script should work to generate PDFs. This is not working, the script is unable to open FM11 trial version, error message reads: "unable to connect to FrameMaker-open FrameMaker manually". Can anyone help?
    Is there any other way to generate multiple PDFs in one go with Fm11.
    Regrads,
    Himani

    Himani,
    If you want to just create PDFs from FM via the command line, then using one of the available FM batch utilities might be an easier route.
    Check out:
    DZbatcher at: http://www.miramo.com/english/overview/download.html
    runfm as part of mif2go and is fully functional in the mif2go demo. See: http://mif2go.com/xhtml/runfm_0002_363understandingrunfmcommandlinesyntax.htm#Rz134x44547

  • Remove password from PDF with Reader 9.0?

    Hi,
    We would like to know if a user opens a protected PDF (with 128/256 bits encryption) in Acrobat Reader 9.0,
    can the user save a copy of the protected PDF and the new PDF is no longer password protected.
    That means I would like to check if the reader 9.0 can allow user to remove the password (Of course, permission
    should be granted when creating the protected PDF in Acrobat 9.0) from the protected PDF file.
    Thanks for your attention in advance,
    Raymond

    Reader cannot remove password protection. It only reads files.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

  • Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

    Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.

    Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
    I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
    I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
    Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.
