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.

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Cannot print PDF file with version 11.0.10 Adobe Reader.

    Cannot print PDF file with version 11.0.10 Adobe Reader.  Get error messages "This document could not be printed" and "There are no pages selected to print".  I am using a Mac OS Ver 10.0.2.  I see that this question has been asked by others recently, but no answers.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Assuming you are running 10.10.2 and not the ancient 10.0.2, can you tell us what printer and printer driver you are using? How is the printer connected to the computer (network, usb)? See if you can delete the Reader preference files? Years ago I resetting the printer subsystem would sometimes cure a problem like this.

  • How do I move a pdf file from my download area into adobe reader

    How do I move a pdf file from my download area into adobe reader

    Hi!
    Adobe Reader automatically lists all the PDFs on your device in it's file browser. You can toggle between the "All PDFs" view and "Folder View" in the "Documents" tab of the file browser.
    Thanks

  • Can't open pdf files from sites as shown in troubleshooting info but it works OK in IExplorer. Help, please

    I can no longer open pdf files when clicking on a link such as: shown in troubleshooting info.
    It used to work on earlier version when I had XP, now I'm Win7Pro and using version 5.0.1 The links work fine with Internet Explorer. Help, please.

    Type in '''about:plugins''' into the location bar and press "Enter", at the the top is a line for plug-ins test pointing to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck/]
    You should have Version: 10.1.0.534 for adobe acrobat but you have two older versions instead. If the one does not replace both you may have to disable the really old one, or remove through the control panel.

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

  • How can I open pdf files in safari browser without installing Adobe reader?

    I do not wish to use adobe reader. I just uninstalled it and now I can't view pdf files in preview when attempting to open the file in safari browser.  How can set safari to open any pdf files using preview application?

    Copy the text below, including the initial /
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
    A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.

  • Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

    Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites.  We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites.  Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser.  I can download the files to my computer and then open them.  I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites.  I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10  rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
    The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
    I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
    Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
    I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
    I am using Internet Explorer 8
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your mail.
    Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.

  • Upgraded to firefox version 5 for Mac OSX 10, from version 3.6.18, now cannot open.pdf files from links . Only get blank page.

    Worked okay with previous version of Firefox 3.6.18

    The following worked for me:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
    "Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
    Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
    I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

  • Open PDF's from Internet Explorer default to Adobe Reader

    I have an old version of Acrobat, Acrobat 6 installed, but I also have Reader version 9.
    When I open a PDF from a web page it tries to open in Acrobat, but is unable to because the version is old. I want PDFs from the internet to open default to Reader.
    Is there a setting I can change with Acrobat, Reader or Internet Explorer to set what program it opens with?

    Sure - I quote:
    "Try examing the registry as in this good old tweak from Reinhard Franke:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6778d
    "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
    There you will find the full path to the program IE will use (Acrobat or Reader exe)."
    E.g. the data value of the key should be - something like:
    "C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" (for using Reader)
    "C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (for using Acrobat)
