Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files.  Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower. 
Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files.  I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists. 
I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
Apparently, it's something about this latest update. 
The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem. 
Here is the error:
The offending file can be gotten from here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
"We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01).  This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

  • Cannot open pdf file after updating to 10.4.11

    I recently updated my operating system from 10.4 to 10.4.11.
    after updating, I now cannot open any pdf files. I had/have adobe 7 before the update. I thought maybe there was a problem with the program after the update so I downloaded adobe 9- the newest.
    I still am not able to open any pdf files.
    any ideas??
    thanks!
    if this is in the wrong category, please let me know.

    More than you asked for but good stuff. Permissions is buried in there somewhere.

    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then boot in Safe Mode, (holding Shift key down at bootup; takes longer to boot this way so be patient), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • Cannot open PDF files on internet with Acrobat 7.0

    I use Acrobat 7.0 to make and read my PDF files.  Also have reader 9.0 installed.  Today internet explorer 9 stopped reading pdf files on the internet.  Tried selecting both Acrobat 7.0 and Reader 9.0 but neither work.  Only get the cannot open the file message.  Tried three different sites to try different PDF files.  Suggestions???

    Only for reading files there are some other (newer but small) viewing tools. remember that.
    Also I wouldn't use the in-browser function of any tool you use. It's not necessary.
    The file will be also downloaded to your machine, there is no on the fly reading or anything else you expect.
    so why will you waste screen size caused by the second menu bar.
    Set your browser to open .pdf files outside, so you get more control where files are saved and you get a better screen size.
    In my opinion in-browser-pdf is senseless, just a confusing gimmick.

  • Unable to open PDF files after update failed

    I have not be able to open any of my many PDF files after last update.  The update failed - error message "Error 1327.Invalid Drive:F\".  Drive F is where I plug in my flash drive, there is nothing in drive F.  I am working on my Ed.D and have 100's of PDF files pertaining to my research.  I need to be able to open these files.  I use a lot of these every day.  I can't unstall the program -- get the same error message, can't repair it.  Nothing works.  Can anyone tell me what to do.  I need a answer fast.

    Some people in other posts have suggested to insert a USB drive into F drive.

  • Download problem with JSF: Cannot open PDF-file after opening WORD-file

    Hello,
    I have a JSP (created with Java Studio Creator) which displays a table with links to different files. Some links open PDF-documents, other for instance DOC-files (msword). I download the file as follows:
    public String downloadFile(String fileName) {
    try {
    int dotIndex = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
    String fileExtension = "";
    String contentType = "";
    if(dotIndex > 0) {
    fileExtension = fileName.substring(dotIndex+1, fileName.length());
    contentType=CONTENT_TYPES.get(fileExtension.toUpperCase()).toString();
    if(!fileExtension.equals("") && !contentType.equals("")) {
    // method that reads file to the byte array
    byte[] fileContent = getContentOfFile(new File(fileName));
    FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    response.setContentType(contentType);
    response.setContentLength(fileContent.length);
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
    try {
    ServletOutputStream out;
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    out.write(fileContent);
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    faces.responseComplete();
    catch(Exception ex) {
    return ("!!!ERROR: downloadFile(fileName) - Could not completely download file "+ fileName + ex.getMessage());
    return "";
    contentType is application/pdf if it`s a PDF-file or application/msword if it`s a word-file.
    fileName contains the full file path.
    link-properties:
    <ui:hyperlink action="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF_action}" binding="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF}"
    id="hyperlinkShowPDF" immediate="true" onClick="testSubmit()" target="_blank" text="#{currentRow.value['display']}"/>
    and the code of the JS-function testSubmit() (without this function I couldn�t get the right row selection in the hyperlink-table):
    function testSubmit() {
    document.getElementById('form1').submit();
    return false;
    All pdf-links are working fine and the correct document is displayed in a new browser window. but if I open a WORD-document and after that I click on another link to a pdf-file, the WORD-file is loaded again in the new window. Only if I close the window which contains the WORD-document, I can download the correct pdf after that.
    Is something wrong with the response header (I tried "attachment" instead of "inline" too but without effect)?
    Can anybody help?

  • Cannot open pdf files after installing app

    I have installed the adobe reader app on my tablet but when I try to open a pdf file it downloads and when I try to open it from my downloads it says cannot open file. Please help!

    Can you share the sample pdf file where you are encountering this issue? Also possibly a screenshot of the error you are receiving?

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • After activating "Click-to-play" plug-ins, I cannot open pdf files.

    In the latest release of Firefox, information about how to prevent plug-ins from loading automatically was in the release notes. I activated this in about:config. (Click-to-play).
    After that, I cannot open pdf files! When I click on a link all I get is an empty window. Reloading page don't help.
    What I can do, is to click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page. Then the pdf file loads.
    Another work around is to copy the link and paste it in IE.
    Is this a bug with "click-to-play"?

    Thanks cor-el. I have read the various bug reports and it is indeed the same. Has been known for a while...
    Anyway, I find no mention of the work-around: "Click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page."
    I don't know if there is a place to give that feedback.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • Cannot open pdf files in Firefox.

    I cannot open pdf files in Firefox. (I can in Chrome).
    I tried Menu - Preferences - PDF - Use Adobe Acrobat Professional. Also tried the same with PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4
    Clicking on a PDF link just opens a blank page.

    When I enter about:preferences#applications <Enter> in the address bar, then for PDF it shows:
    pdf File (application/x-download) ... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
    pdf File (application/x-pdf) .... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
    Portable Document Format (PDF) ... Save File'''
    I would like all PDF's to open in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Right now none of the PDF's open at all, so opening in Firefox or any other viewer would be preferred over not showing up at all.
