Preview troubles with PDF files?

Until recently, Preview had opened every and any PDF file. Now, I receive the following message.
+Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package.+
+Adobe recommends using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat version 8 or later to work with documents contained within a PDF Package. By updating to the latest version, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:+
+• Efficient, integrated PDF viewing • Easy printing • Quick searches+
+Don’t have the latest version of Adobe Reader?+
+Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Reader+
+If you already have Adobe Reader 8, click a file in this PDF Package to view it.+
What's going on?
Please help!

If you want to use preview always as the default PDF file viewer then follow above tip. And, you might see a button 'change all...' you might want to click that too to make it the default viewer.

  • Trouble with PDF files in CS5

    I'm trying to cover up text that i don't want to be seen in a public audience with a white box inside of Indesign. Low and behold, when i make the pdf you can still copy the text that has been covered up. Any ideas what would cause this? The original file is made in Indesign, and exported to a pdf.

    Nope. I've been trying for a while now to come up with an ID-applied mask or crop that effectively renders text from a placed PDF inert on re-export.
    Can't seem to force it to flatten no matter what. Raster interaction, transparency, blend modes, overprint, etc. all fail.
    All attempts were with Acrobat 4 compatibility. All text of the placed PDF survives re-export. You can't see it, but you can select it.
    OK, so my last suggestion won't work, either.
    Perhaps we should be looking at alternate strategies. Can you palce the PDF twice (or perhaps 4 times) and crop leaving a hole? Are you actually placing a PDF, or could you be using conditional text and turning it off?  Casn you put the text in a non-printing frame? What's the reason for hiding the text?

  • I am having trouble with pdf files  continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

    Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program  continuously get damaged file message.  Anybody else having this problem?   Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

    I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
    Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
    Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac  OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
    Does anyone realy know what is going on?

  • Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

    I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

    Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

  • Problem with PDF files

    Hello Experts,
    I am having trouble with PDF files corrupting the folder in
    which they are contained. If this sounds familiar, and you might be
    able to help, please see if the following steps give you an idea of
    the problem and the fix.
    I want to link to PDF files from a web page. The copy,
    consisting of several files, was provided by my client as Word
    documents, and converted to PDF by me from within Microsoft Word.
    I copied the PDF files into their own folder in my site, and
    found later, after leaving, then reopening Dreamweaver, that the
    folder was corrupted and unreadable. I got a message to run chkdsk.
    I tried working around the folder by repeating the process
    above in a new file, with the intention of ignoring the corrupted
    one. The second folder also became corrupted.
    I don't know if chkdsk is a Dreamweaver utility, or a Windows
    utility, or if this is a Windows, Acrobat or Dreamweaver problem.
    Does anyone know how to run chkdsk?
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
    Thanks so much in advance for the urgently needed support.
    Richard

    chkdsk used to be a DOS utility, now Windows. Depending on
    the OS you have
    and whether it's Mac or PC, you can run it several ways.
    If XP > Start > Help and Support, type chkdsk in the
    search
    Other OSs, search for chkdsk.

  • Flash preview failing on PDF file

    I have what appears to be a perfectly valid PDF file for
    which Share seems unable generate a Flash preview.
    The PDF file was created with a fairly old version of Acrobat
    (PDFWriter 2.0 for Macintosh), but displays without error with
    Acrobat 8 on Windows XP. When viewed in Share, I see message
    "Creating Flash Preview" -- as is typical when a document is first
    uploaded -- but the message just stays there, with no preview
    created.
    Here's the link to document:

    :Kendall

    OK. Open your PDF with Preview and at the top of the window (near the file's title) you will see Locked in grey.
    Click on it and in the menu that appears click Unlock.
    It looks like this in OS 10.7.3 :
    For information you can view the permissions of a PDF file in Preview by choosing in the menu bar Tools > Inspector, and then click Encryption (the lock).
    Hope this will help.

  • Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

    i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove any items that have the letters “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.
    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.

  • How do I set Preview to open pdf files

    when I try to open a pdf file in safari 6, I get an error telling me to accept the end user license for adobe acrobat. Why?

    You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.
    To get Preview to open PDF files:
    Highlight the PDF file>File>Get Info> 
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select Preview open the file.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.

  • Troubles with xmp files not loading...

    I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

    > The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
    Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
    When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
    So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
    I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
    Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
    Thanks for the help Kees :-)

  • Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

    I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Cheers, JH

    The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
    I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

  • Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

    After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages?  The pdf has more pages than the word document.  I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

    Hi Petek ,
    After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
    In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
    You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.
