    Why can't I open a document in Adobe Reader?

    I have been having the same issue since January. Oddly, I can read the docs that I scan as pdf on my iPad but not on my Mac or PC. I receive the following message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open '_____.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)."
    It doesn't matter if I use Safari, Chrome, etc.
    I have the most up to date Adobe products.

  • 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?

  • I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

    Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
    I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
    I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
    I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
    All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
    As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
    I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

    Hi a.vouga,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.

  • Attempt to open a PDF with Adobe Reader fails

    I am using Adobe Reader X and have been having problems where double clicking on the PDF file does not automatically open the PDF file. Sometimes it will open it and on those days I will have no problem. Other days it just seems to refuse to open the PDF and I see several instances of AcroRd32.exe showing in Task Manager taking up varying degrees of memory. I tried to fix the problem by running the "repair my install", but that ended up breaking my only workaround which was to launch the Adobe Reader and then select the PDF file I wanted to open.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem just now and what worked for me was i archived a email in MS outlook using the Adopbe PDF dropdown menu and then I had full access to X Pro again.
    Hope that this helps

  • Hello! I'm in desperate need of assistance with opening a PDF with Adobe Reader.

    I am trying to download course work and the online forum that the course work is on addresses the common issue of PDF's not converting and not being able to view the complete detailed page.  I have the free Adobe reader XI and I also just purchased the Adobe package for $90 a year thinking this will solve my problems but they have not.  WHAT TO SHOULD I DO? I have missed 2 days of course work because I am unable to see the assignments.

    Sorry, I do not understand "PDFs not converting"; what are you trying to convert them to?  Using what software?
    Also, what is your operating system?  If these PDFs are online, what browser do you use?

    I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air.  Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

    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.

  • Why can't I open a PDF in Word?  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011

    Why can't I open a PDF document in Word.  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011 installed because I have to email PDF and word documents to my clients.  Please help. 
    I currently have been viewing them in Preview.  Is that the only way? 

    Word is a text processor, not a PDF viewer. You can embed a PDF document in a Word document, but that's pretty much it. Besides Preview there are numerous third-party applications that can also view PDFs such as Adobe Reader.

  • Why can't I open a PDF that I emailed to my self

    Why can't I open a PDF that I emailed to my self

    OK. You mean that it has fillable form fields. Those will not open in the mail app or in iBooks.
    Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. It is free. Then go back to the mail app, tap on the PDF file to get the Open In window to pop up. When the Open In window pops up, select Adobe Reader. The PDF will open in Adobe Reader and be saved in there. You should be able to fill out the fields in the Adobe Reader app and then you can email it from there if needed.

    Why can't I open Quark 8 with Lion? How can I de activate Lion?

    Hi David,

    Hmmm, I might be a little wrong in my earlier statement.
    Yes, QuarkXPress 7.01 (and higher), released August 2006, and QuarkXPress 8.x are both universal binary builds. QuarkXPress 9 is actually Intel-only.
    And though v8 and v9 should under Lion, Quark will officially support Lion with QuarkXPress 9.1, a free update to Version 9, scheduled for end of this month.
    Version 9.1 will also contain App Studio to export rich designs for the iPad.

  • Why can't I open my PDF's?

    Why can't I open my PDF's?

    Beats me. Can you tell us any more about it? Some of the things you might want to share include:
    - your version of Adobe Reader or other PDF software?
    - any message you get (exactly, in full)?
    - your system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion)?
    - if you're running another app (e.g. Outlook, Chrome) what is it?
