Pdf document won't open

Have a new Intel iMac w/ OS 10.5.2 and a pdf document won't open. I get the message"you can't open the application because it's not supported on this architecture". The pdf document will open if I use Preview. What's the problem? Thanks for any input.

Have Windows XP.
I have Adobe 7.0 but cannot open e-mails attachments from Acrobat, Adobe, PDF.
Tried downloading newer versions. After installing, I click for the next step. Box appears indicating it will not install on a network.
Than an error message when I click out.
I have no network.
How can I successfuly download Adobe Reader, PDF, etc. on Windows XP?

  • PDF documents won't open in browser page

    I've been having trouble with Safari lately. This is my main browser, and whenever I try to open any PDF documents, I get an error message that goes something like "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Whenever I have to see a PDF document, I have to open another browser (IE 9) and paste the URL in order to view the document. I...think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader... =/
    Is there any way that I can fix this?
    * Currently have Safari 5.0.2

    think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader
    By way of experiment, if you uninstall and reinstall your Adobe Reader, does Safari still display the same behavior?
    (Wondering here if your nppdf32.dll, which controls the Adobe PDF plugin, might be slightly damaged. I think the relevant copy of the file that Safari uses lives in the Reader files. If so, a reinstall of Reader may help.)

  • Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

    So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
    Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
    Default settings in the reader and chrome.
    Thanks!

    Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
    Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

  • Pdf documents won't open for me

    When in a web site like the VA Portal or local Board of Realtors, when I try to open .pdf files, all I get is a "x" boxed, in the upper left corner.  How can I get them to open?  I have Acrobat X, fully updated.

  • Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari.  I have Reader 9.4.5.  It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

  • Pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
    Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
    to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
    1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
    2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
    3. I click Download.
    4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
    5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
    scroll bar to read all of the pages.
    6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
    7. I click the save icon.
    8. I save the file to my desktop.
    9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.

  • Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • PDF file won't open with double click

    Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
    Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
    Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
    Very frustrating!

    Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
    In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
    So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

    OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4
