Can't View or save pdf files

Since this morning I can no longer view or save files on the website where I had no probs in the past.  When I try to save I get the message "The File is Not valid", so it's not surprising can't view or save.  I contacted the site & they tell me all works fine.  Why should the file names change such that they can no longer work with Adobe reader?   The only changes are that I received a windows update (I am running Vista Home Basic) and I installed a new printer/scanner/copier (Epson NX130).  Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking the trouble to look at my problem, Michael.   I don't know to post a link to a file.
The files I want to view and save are located on the separate websites of 2 different share registries.   I used to be able to do this, but now can't.   When I try to "Save As ....."  I can't because the files show up as a non-pdf file, a specific example of such a filename is:  "PaymentAdvice?Paymentkey=AGKHAINTJUN12,109011151746,1,1".   I rang both of the 2 share registries who confirmed that I should not have the problem I am experiencing.
Looking at other threads, some folk have got things to work when the went back to Adobe 9 instead of 10.  Any thoughts?

  • Can't preview or save pdf files with Firefox 5

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 5, I've been unable to preview/save pdf documents in websites. One example is the Citibank website.
    Is there any plug-in you would recommend? I would prefer if it's a freeware. Thanks.

  • Acrobat 8 Freezes can't no longer save pdf files or do anything else

    Mac OS X 10.5.6 - Acrobat 8 Prof 8.1.4
    I can no longer do anything on this application, I've been using this app for months already and I was able to save, save as, print, convert existing PDF as form. Everytime I open a PDF file and create a form from existing document it freezes even if I start from scratch, I can only view files, if I do something else it freezes and have to force to quit. Please help.
    The only thing I have not try is unistalling and re-installing the application
    Thanks!

    Same here Suzie - on my Mac all I'm doing is creating a simple PDF from ID. When I alter it and export as PDF, saving to the desktop to overwrite the previous version it goes through the motions - then up comes this message.
    If Bill is assuming correctly that you're on Windows then its a Mac OSX problem too.
    Acrobat is dormant here - only ID open.

  • I can't view or print PDF files anymore.  This just started in the last 3 months., I can't view or print PDF files anymore.  This just started in the last 3 months.

    Since May of this year, I have been unable to view PDF files or print them.  I have downloaded the latest Adobe and Firefox.  I had a long talk with a tech from Scottrade who gave me a bunch of ideas, none of which helped.  HELP!!

    TO MARK,
    To tell you the truth, until you asked the question, I never heard of Preview.  In trying to open the AP, I saw that it had never been opened and I couldn't open it when I tried today.  Can you shed any light on this?

  • Can't print or save PDF files to hard drive after upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.3

    I upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 on my Mac with OS X 10.7.3. I can open PDF files on Internet, but can neither print them nor save them to my hard drive.

    I had the same problem and stumbled by accident on an odd way how to save the PDF file.
    After the PDF file is visible, press the key escape  “esc”. A new toolbar above the PDF file will appear. Press the “disc” icon next to the “printer” icon. A window drops down, and now you can save the PDF file in your download folder.

  • Can't print or save pdf files in saferi 6 running ml

    cant save or print pdf files in safari 6 after upgrading to mountain lion

    You don't need an Adobe plug-in to view PDFs in Safari, that functionality is built in. I'm guessing that your Adobe Reader plugin (or some other PDF-related plug-in) is incompatible with ML. Try disabling it. First, open Safari's preferences window and look at the Extensions pane. Is there anything PDF-related there? If so, disable it. Next, look in the following folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
    (Yes, those are the same except for the tilde. The first one is at the root level of your hard drive, the second is in your user folder. That one is invisible, so hold down the option key and choose Library from the Finder's Go menu to go there.)
    If you see anything related to Adobe PDF Viewer or Reader, remove it and restart Safari.

  • Can't open or save PDF files from websites from Firefox 4.0

    Upgraded to FF4 recently. Now when I click on a link to a PDF in a web site to open with PDF Viewer, get an error message saying PDF Viewer could not repair file. With Adobe Reader 9.4, I get a message saying There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. No problems opening PDFs from IE9. Is this a bug in FF4? Should I go back to FF3?

    After going through your mail i have realised that I had to go through the same problem once as I could not open word file in MS word.As I am not quite an expert regarding computer related matter one of my friend advised me to seek help from supportonclick and as I did so it just took a moment to get rid off the problem. As you have tried a number solve the problem I suggest you to seek their support and I hope it will help you to get out of this hazards.All the best.

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

      How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012.  Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI.  The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
    Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
    For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

  • HT5925 Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    I installed a PDF reader.
    It allows attaching pdf files to my iPod and synching with iTunes.
    But I don't use iCloud, still. I do all backups local to iTunes library.
    However, it should work no matter where or what IF you have files attached to an app that allows files.
    When I make changes to files attached to apps, they change and show under iTunes - tried renaming a file on the computer and changed on iPod.

  • Can i save pdf files onto playbook?

    is it possible to save pdf files onto the playbook? i tried downloading one from a website and it showed up in the active downloads from where i then opened it, but it didnt permanently save. i thought maybe the adobe reader could store it but it didnt. 
    also, is it possible to transfer and save pdf files from a pc onto playbook? 
    this was one of the major things i was hoping the playbook could do..may determine whether it's worth keeping

    It's not through the Blackberry Desktop Software that I am transferring PDFs, Word, Excel files onto the Playbook; only media synching is supported at this time by that means. I did it on my PC through Windows Explorer, ie. the normal box you open on your computer when you click on "documents" and see the contents of your computer folders. There, in the left panel if you go down you see "computer", and click on it to display sub-folders, it should show the "Playbook" if you have a good USB connection. If you click on that PlayBook icon you will then see folders of the Playbook, including documents. That's where I pasted the documents, and they were then available to read and edit on the Playbook through Word to Go, Adobe Reader, etc. 
    The problem then (which other strings discuss) is that while you can paste in a set of documents organized in folders with sub-folders, the Playbook only sees the documents as being in a single folder. They apparently will still retain their organization though I haven't checked that.
    There is no way to synchronize in the way that DataViz Documents to Go does on the smartphones, and to me that is a big omission that RIM needs to take care of soon, or more specifically DataViz who I believe RIM owns now. The technology has been there for around 10 years. On my Palm I used to synchronize documents from my PC onto my Palm, work on various documents there, then when I synched again all the changes would automatically update on the documents on my PC. The only way to do this now is manually copy back from the Playbook to the PC, which is only OK if you are just working on one document.

  • Is there any way we can save PDF files of 1.8v & 1.9v to 1.4v using plug-in?

    is there any way we can save PDF files of 1.8v & 1.9v to 1.4v using plug-in? (using PDDocSavePara )

    Something like this.
    Change VER variable to version number as you need. ex. VER = 7 -> PDF 1.7
    pdoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);
    PDDocSaveParams saveParams;
    unsigned char buffer[sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams)];
    saveParams = (PDDocSaveParams)buffer;
    memset(saveParams, 0, sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams));
    saveParams->fileSys = ASGetDefaultFileSys();
    saveParams->major = 1;
    saveParams->minor = VER;  //change version here
    saveParams->saveFlags = PDSaveFull | PDSaveCollectGarbage | PDSaveForceIncremental | PDSaveKeepModDate;
    saveParams->size = sizeof (_t_PDDocSaveParams);
    saveParams->saveFlags2 = PDSaveUncompressed;
    PDDocSaveWithParams (pdoc, saveParams);
