Cannot open PDF documents/files

I cannot open any PDF documents.  Had been able to before.  I am using the latest Mac OS.  Have now also down loaded the latest Adobe Reader.  Still no success.

When you save it with the menu or Safari toolbar the file it saves is CALLED a PDF file and might have the icon but it is always empty and useless. So always use the Adobe Reader toolbar. This should appear over the PDF page if you hover over the page. (Hover: move the mouse there and let it go). It looks like this. The save icon is the first one.

  • After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

    I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
    Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
    If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
    Help....!!!!!!

    Hi PE
    Yes, but nothing happened.
    I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
    However, it did not work.

    Hansson, did you get a window asking you if you wanted to reset your preferences.

  • I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

    Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software.  Regards Doug

    Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
    Cheers

  • I cannot open PDF documents correctly. I get an error on the page that says there is an error on the document. Neither Adobe Acrobat or Reader work.

    I cannot open pdf files that are maps correctly . Some of the data layers are missing. I get a warning message that there is an error in the document and I should contact the originator. I have both Adobe Acrobat and the free version of Reader but neither will open them. When I forward them to other clients, they cannot open them either but can open them from the original sender.

    Open Tools/Options/Advanced/general/Config. editor, copy mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks into the search box, double-click the preference to make its value false, OK, restart TB, and see if you still have problems with pdf attachments.
    For messages that have already been received in IMAP accounts, you can force a re-download by selecting the Message Source (Ctrl-U), then try to open the attachment.

  • Cannot open PDF document in IE8

    On a computer with Windows XP, IE8 and Reader XI     (11.0.3) we cannot open a document within Internet Explorer.  The "add-on" exists in the "run without confirmation" however it will not open the document.  I did note that in trying to open the "PDF of Reader XI Help" it did download the document, and listed the size of the document but it would not open it.
    Thank You Pat G

    Hi, T.
    When you import a PDF into Photoshop to get some images placed inside the PDF, there's no need to rasterize the file. This is because the feature is a bit hidden in the dialogue screen of "import PDF". Look in the upper part of the dialogue and you'll see "Select: page". Go into that drop down and select instead "image" (the exact wording may vary as my PS is a Spanish one).
    Then, you'll be offered all the image boxes inside the PDF. They'll be imported "as is", no resampling or rasterizing needed.
    Hope it helps

  • Cannot open pdf documents in Safari

  • Cannot open pdf documents for about a month now.

    a blank popup opens when I try to open pdf documents.

    I had this problem, I checked my add-ons one by one as suggested and it was the Avast online security add-on slowing me down on Google. Disabled it and FF works ok.
    No idea why the avast add-on would do that? Still using the full version of avast but not the add-on.

  • Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio

    I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.

    Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

  • Cannot open pdf documents. used to work well. now not at all.

    Click on document and returns warning message to download software. I do that and warning says cannot download software as it is already on this computer.

    You need to do as Jerry suggests because after the upgrade you very likely still have the old version of Numbers on your Mac. The new Numbers 3.1 is in your main Applications folder. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  You can use both versions.  But you can't use the old version to open a document that has been created or edited in the new version (or in Numbers for iOS).

  • Please help - cannot open pdf documents!!

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Reader on my MAC. However when I go to open a pdf I get the following message. Before viewing PDF documents you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser. How do I do this???

    Mac HD/Applications
    Double click the Reader app there and accept the agreement. You may then open PDFs in your browser.

  • Cannot open pdf file embedded in MS Word

    I cannot open pdf documents embedded in a Word document.  'the error message given when I click on the pdf file is
    "Word cannot locate the server application for
    ArcoExch.document.11 objects"

    Probably the wrong forum.
    I guess your best bet is to extract the pdf file from Word, and then open it.
    Make sure you have Adobe Reader or similar installed for reading the pdf.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
