Problem opening downloaded PDF files

When I click on a PDF link in Safari, I would normally expect the document to open with Acrobat 7.0.
What is happening now, is that the screen changes to 'browse' option asking me to identify which application will open the PDF. When I click on Acrobat 7.0, the screen goes blank.
So, basically, I can't open downloaded PDFs from Safari, (though it's Ok with Opera, Firefox etc)
In the Acrobat prefs, in the internet settings, 'Display PDF in browser using: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (7.0.0)' is checked.
Mac Power PC, 2G RAM, OSX 10.4.11; Safari 3.2.1, Acrobat 7.0.0

Do you have more that one version of Acrobat or reader loaded?
Only one is certified to work at a time.

    Hi George ,
    Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one?
    Could you please share the error message so that we can replicate at our end ?
    Try repairing reader  once and see if that fixes the issue.

  • Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

    I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
    I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

    This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
    If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
    Again, your PDF file is fine.

  • Opening downloaded pdf files using Adobe instead of in Safari

    I prefer to use full-feature Adobe software to view downloaded pdf files instead of Safari. How do I keep Safari from opening them in the browser and instead automatically open Adobe Reader when the search engine finds a pdf file?

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Problem opening attached pdf file

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to open a pdf file attached in a mail, but when i try to open it adobe acrobat gives me this error.
    Adobe Reader could not open <doc1.pdf> because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged (for eg:it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.)
    I've read many posts related to this problem but i haven't found the solution yet.

  • Problem opening all PDF files

    I am suddenly unable to open any PDF file. I get the message that adobe reader has been forced to close. What could cause this. I have repaired the application and have also looked for updates. Says there are none.

    What is your operating system & version?
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?

  • I have problem opening a PDF file in my GP process

    Hi,
         I am using an interactive form/file approval callable object in my process. I created a callable object of type interactive form(IF) outside the process(this will start the process). I mapped the interactive form contents.... I download the form, fill it and submit. When I run my task, I see only the two buttons(document accepted and document rejected). I don't see the PDF (attachment).
    From the forums, I realized that there is a bug in Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7.0 in viewing the PDF. So I downloaded Acrobat Prof (TRY) 8.0. With this version, I was able to see PDF in the action along with the two buttons I mentioned. But I am unable to open this PDF to see the data(to review my data).
    Can somebody suggest what I should do. Is there anything I am missing here.
    I did not see any examples where this type of CO is used/implemented.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
           I got it working.

  • Problem opening some PDF files in Adobe Acrobat

    I have several PDF files that cannot be open in Adobe Acrobat.  I have the message as shown below:
    There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
    But I first discovered the problem in Adobe Reader: the files cannot be open in neither Adobe Reader 9, X nor XI, in Win7 64-bit as well as Windows Server 2008 R2.  The original post in Adobe Reader forum is in this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6163936
    BUT the files are NOT damaged because I can open them with another software called XChange PDF Viewer.
    Where can I file a bug to Adobe so they can fix the bug?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Acrobat Family complies with the ISO standard for parsing PDF files, and it will reject files that contain unrecoverable errors. Third-party applications may decide to ignore the errors or display the corrupted content anyway, but that's their decision.

  • Problems opening a pdf file from a URL protected by OAM with M.Explorer

    Hello,
    we have protected a web portal with OAM. When we access a URL which is a pdf file with Mozilla Firefox, the file is retrieved and opened correctly, but when we try to open it using Microsoft Explorer it won't open. If we disable OAM the pdf is opened without problems. We set Microsoft Explorer security level to the lowest possible value but the problem persists.
    Can anyone give us a hand to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Hi Francisco,
    In the AccessGate screen for the WebGate, if you have the CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader set to "no-cache", try setting them to "public" (or blank), restart the web server, and see if that resolves the issue.
    Regards,

  • Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

    Hi all!
    I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
    But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
    So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.

    Creating a PDF file with over 99 pages through SAP seems rather unreasonable to me. What are you printing - Encyclopedia Britannica? For cripes sake... Have you thought about creating more than one spool request or using something completely different? Why do you have to do this through spool? You can get Smartform output directly into PDF, there are a lot of example out there.
    The only solution that comes to mind is rather brutal - create a copy of the function module and get rid of the popup. Although it just might time out after that...

  • Problems opening, inserting PDF files

    I have a user (Windows 7, Acrobat Standard 10.1.8) who is unable to see files when trying to open files from within Acrobat or insert files to an existing PDF document. If they go to the file outside of Acrobat they can open the file. If they open Acrobat first and then go to File > Open no files show up in the window.  Same for inserting files. If they try to insert a PDF into an existing PDF the window shows no files, no matter if PDF files or All Files are selected.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and that corrected the problem for a day.  I have installed all updates so not sure what the problem is.

    Sounds like the OS is doing something. Next time try a repair instead of the reinstall. If the repair does the job, it is a lot faster until you can trace down the problem.
    When it happens, does a reboot make a difference?
