Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Desperate needing help!

ok, so here is the scoop:
I have the latest version of adobe -version 8 - and I want to convert some documents (whethere ms word, notepad, word pad, simply accounting invoices) into adobe, but this error message has come up:
"Adobe Reader could not open "_____.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for exaample, it was ent as an email attachment and it wasn't decoded correctly."
Ok, so first of all it was NOT sent as an email attachment, but it may not be a supported file? Then what are the supported files?
I reallyt need to use adobe, but I can't open ANYTHING up in it because of this message that keeps on coming up.
P.S. I called tech support, they advised re-installing - did that, but still have the problem.
Any help would be soooooo much appreciated! THanks in advance!!!!!!!!

There is some confusion here....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format explains how Adobe came to develop PDF as a truly portable document format so that anyone can create a document that is formatted, can contain pictures and movies and is encryptable so it cannot be altered.
It is cross-platform and is so successful it has been adopted as the official way of providing web documents by the US government and many others.
The pdf standard, which is based on another Adobe product, PostScript, is an open standard and other programs use it for output, including Microsoft Word. IMO the best free pdf generator out there is PrimoPDF.
Hope this helps

    Please help as much as you can or as little i desperatly need help.

    Oi mate there's no need to be nasty, i was asking why
    and you just throw it in my face,Nobody is throwing anything in your face. You threw a stack trace at us and said Java is broken help me.
    Well Java is not broken.
    The Java program you are running is broken.
    But we don't know what it is doing and where it is broken. Only the people with the source for the program (puzzlepirates) can help you.
    It is not my fault if they won't help you or told you Java is broken.
    and it seems that the java is not working or
    something else is wrong on my computerAs a wild guess there is something wrong with the DNS on your machine or proxy or something like that. This is a guess based on the UnknownHostException. But again that is only a guess and the best guess one can make based on the information present.
    The problem I think is that their applet tries to do something but doesn't account for connections like yours and is blowing up because of that.
    Again only a guess and in the end really does nothing to solve your problem. If you want to solve this problem email the stack trace and perhaps my comments in this post about the UnknownHostException to puzzlepirates and ask them for help.
    Nobody else can help you but them.

    You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    to get your data off the machine,
    then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

  • I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id

  • Is it possible for me to Burn an audio file in cd format not mp3 to play in my car. I don't seem to know how to do it in my mac .. Please I need help ASAP . Thanks

    Hello community ... Hope all of you are happy and doing great today.... Please I need yet another valuable help from you all... I want to know if my MacBook pro can burn the type of audio format that can play in my car as my car does not play mp3 audio CDs ... It needs the kind of format used in general audio disc we get in shops for example  a jay-z album cd .... Please does anyone have an idea on what to do... I used to burn it on my then windows laptop with real player but now the real player on mac doesn't seem to do it ..... Any suggestions please?

    Random Geeza is correct; I burn audio CDs frequently, and it's perfectly painless in iTunes,
    Create your playlist, ensure that all the tracks you want to record are checked, then click the 'burn' button at the bottom right of the window. You'll get this dialogue;
    Select the settings you require, then click 'burn' - at that point you'll be prompted to insert a blank disc.
    Don't put the disc in before then as it then requires a different procedure.

    Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes.  However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup.  For recovey mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

    Hi, my iphone its in recovery mode and when i restore my iphone 5s loading show the blue screen and show note on itunes (unknown error 14) please i need your help please . thanks

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

    Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon !  i never backed up on itunes ..please help

    No. The contacts are "owned" by the Exchange server.
    The Exchange server is owned by the company.
    Everything on the Exchange server is owned by the company.
    If you quit or were terminated, and your access to the system has been revoked, then there is nothing you and do at this point. Once you deleted the account from your phone, all of the associated data was deleted.
    NEVER store personal information on company systems.
