Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
Closing the tools pane at the right side:
open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
collapse 'Tools' pane
then open some PDF
It shouldn't hang anymore

Pages v5 documents do not have an internal index.xml file. When you attempt to open one of these with the older Pages '09, you will get that dialog. Double-click the document icon, or right-click, and open with Pages v5 to access the document contents.

Ipad works, then black area while read google news or something. Goes away if I reset, but happens again

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:

All my pdf files are very slow to download, scroll down and/or read.

I am having difficulties opening any pdf files as it is very slow, does not scroll down easily and just plain cumbersome. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Additionally, as soon as I want to open the file, the fan on the cpu starts. I am not sure if they are related, but it just happens all the time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is not modern program called Acrobat Reader. There is an Adobe Reader program, there is an Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Std) program. Which program are you using? Under which OS?

Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account. If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document. If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.

I have a website that holds 23 different PDF's. They all download fine and open correctly when downloading from a Mac computer. They even download and open fine from a Mobile Phone. However my client is getting an error over and over again. I have tested it out and this is what I have come up with.
Error:

"Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it either...

The full error message reads: "Abobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I understand this is a common problem, but I have yet to see a clearly defined answer. I am running the latest update of Abobe Reader 9.3 on Windows 7. It didn't work on other updates either.
I received the file as an e-mail attachment, along with some other PDFs. All of them can be opened except this one. I tried forwarding the e-mail to other servers (i.e. Hotmail) and I couldn't open it there either.
I have tried opening it directly from the Adobe Reader program, latest version of IE, and latest version of Firefox. I have tried unchecking the "Display PDF in Browser" box under Edit > Preferences. I have tried changing the file name and adding ".pdf" to the end of it. Nothing works.
The file says "27 KB" which sounds a little low to me since this should be a fair-sized document, but doesn't read "0 KB" as others with this problem have noted.
Any help with this issue so this question can finally be resolved for the hundreds of people that have had this error message would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

There has been tons of help on this issue.
The official word is, ZIP the PDF's before emailing or post them to a website and email a link to them. Some email clients use encoding (Adobe can't do anything about that part) and when the file is decoded at the other end, it is corrupted. It can happen to some of them or all of them.

What is your operating system? Reader version?

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7
