There was an error in opening the doeument..  The file cannot be found

Hi,
A user from our application (IE based) is having an error in opening a pdf document. He's getting the following message:
There was an error in opening the doeument. The file cannot be found.
The error is ecnountered when the link of the document is accessed.
But I was able to open the same document and view it withouth encountering any issue. Also, the issue is not consistent.
Would you know what could have caused the error? can you suggest any things to get rid of the erro?
Joy

What, exactly, were you trying to do when you got it, and how?

  • Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

    Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
    I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
    Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
    i.e.:
    Opening the following path results in the error:
    L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    Removing the comma so the path becomes:
    L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    works just fine.
    So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
    To sum my questions up:
    - Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
    - Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
    - What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

    Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
    It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

    I get the same message when I try to open a pdf attachment in my free AOL e-mail account. This problem just started today for some unknown reason. I have Adobe Reader 9 and never had a problem before. If I forward e-mails with a pdf attachment to my Road Runner account, I can open it with no problem. I can't seem to find any answers to this problem. Frustrating! HELP!!!

  • I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. Any thoughts?

    I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. How can I access these files?

    I have exactly the same problem. The interesting thing is that the file opens when I attach it to an email and open it out of the email. I already saw the advice you provided in  similar post from Aug last year and checked the security settings of the file and the folder. But according to that I have all rights.
    My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

  • Event ID 1012 - There was an error while attempting to read the local hosts file

    When I start my Computer after it has been turned off overnight (switched off at the Power supply) I get a Blue screen and have to reboot the PC. in the Event log it has this error: Event ID 1012 - DNS client events - There was an error while attempting
    to read the local hosts file.
    Once the PC has booted evrything is O.K. I can restart the PC with no problems, it only seems to happen if the PC has been switched off for a while.

    After further Investigation it seems that this error is Not responsible for my Blue screening......I started my PC after leaving it off all night, and it started normally, but i still have this error in the Event Log - System.....I have searched the Technet
    forums (and there is a lot of ID 1012 errors) but non relating to my problem....If anyone knows what is causing this error and how to fix it, i'd be Grateful....although it does not seem to affect the PC in any way that i can see.
    thanks

    Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
    The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case
    some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
    To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that
    a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
    To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
    Microsoft - Help and Support
    If you are outside the US please see
    Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.
    Meantime we can try some available steps as a general troubleshoot.
    1. Please remove the antivirus and run the system with a period. If the issue does not occur, mainly focus on antivirus settings and compatibility. 
    2. Disable Automatic Restart and see detail information on the blue screen.
    1).Click Start, in the Start Search box enter sysdm.cpl.
    2).Click the tab Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
    3). Uncheck “Automatically restart”.
    4). On the drop-down menu “Write debugging information”, choose “Small memory dump”.
    5). Click OK.
    When Blue Screen displays, you may find some useful information.

  • Error Message: "There was an error processing a page.  A file I/O error has occurred"

    Hi
    I am running Windows XP on a lab top for a while. Just recently, every time I opened PDF files, I was getting an empty page. So, I installed the latest Adobe Reader. After that I started getting the error message "There was an error processing a page. A file I/O error has occurred".
    Does anybody have a solution to this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I found my problem. My down scale quits, but quits as in not showing it's working. (I was confused too).  Most all files can not be seen until fully downloaded. For whatever reason, perhaps a glitch or the new modum or video card.  When downloading do not interupt as in wanting to view a page, but go to Network and Sharing Center (bottom right hand corner - click the computer running symbol) and click View Status. See Activity. If the numbers are rolling you are recieving. Waiting until it is complete.  This is madding, but I've learned to live with it.
    Hopes this helps.....

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • WUT-123: The webutil.jar file cannot be found...

    Hello,
    I am having a problem using webutil to upload to a 9iAS using a mapped network drive. Here's the set up:
    MachineA
    9iAS
    Windows2000
    I simply mapped the drive (X:) to a folder on MachineA's
    local drive (d:\folder). I can upload files fine to the directory on the local drive (d:\folder). But if I try to upload to the mapped x:\, I get the error (from the webutil.log):
    "WUT-123: The webutil.jar file cannot be found on the Appliciation Server Classpath - Some file transfer functions will not work. x:\attach\VISIBLE-149.TXT java.io.FileNotFoundException: x:\attach\VISIBLE-149.TXT (The system cannot find the path specified)"
    I have no problems with uploading files if I upload to MachineA's local drive (d:\folder).
    When I was initially testing this out on 9iDS, this was working. Here's the set up:
    MachineB
    9iDS
    WindowsNT
    The 9iDS was on a different machine running WindowsNT and I had mapped X: to the same folder on MachineA. I could upload to the mapped drive without any problems.
    In both cases, I used the same client machine to test out uploading files.
    Any suggestions?

    I think that the opmn process starts with the credentials of the user who installed it (Local System) and not the credentials of the current user which launches it.
    I remember that when I tried to switch the user of the opmn service(from local system to a network user which is also a local admin) in the Windows services control panel,the OHS hasn't started at all.
    If you try to launch it from a DOS cmd window,then,you may try to map the hard drive in the dos command prompt,the service should know the drive name from this local context.
    If it works,can you ,please, post here,so we can all know the way?
    Thanks,

  • Insert PDF Into 2013 Word Doc. Message There was an error opening this Doc This file cannot be found

    To All,

When trying to insert object being a saved pdf documentinto Word Doc., I keep receiving the following message: [There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.] Why?

  • The original music file cannot be found

    Music that is clearly in my iTunes library, and will play from there, shows in the media window of iMovie but, when selected, returns the warning that the original file cannot be found. I have cloud music or whatever it is called. Any ideas?

    I doubt that your music files are gone. Do a spotlight search and look for The Cure. What likely happened is that for whatever reason, your iTunes lost track of the location of your songs.. which happens on occasion.
    What you need to do is go to the folder where your music library is - where the song files are - and check to see if they are there. If so, then go into your iTunes preferences and in the 'Advanced' pane put in the location of the folder where it says 'iTunes Media folder location'. iTunes should then be able to 'see' the songs again.

  • I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

    Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

    I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

  • "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created..."

    I'm getting this error upon opening iTunes:
    When I try to open iTunes with the option key, it asks me to find a library. I can navigate to my library and see the file, but it is grayed out and can't be selected. Prior to this i had been getting an error about iTunes not being able to save the library, but I thought it was coming from my backup app.
    Any ideas? I can no longer open iTunes or access my music or videos.
    Thanks!

    OK.. I finally found an answer buried among a million other posts.
    To fix this, click to open the iTunes app and immediately hold down the "Option" key.  This will allow you to either create a new iTunes library file, or point the app to where the library is.  In my case, I repointed it to the Music>iTunes folder where my library file was and this worked.
