Acrobat cannot open this file

Hi-
While trying to generate or open pdf files in the last 24 hours, I've received this message:
"Acrobat cannot open this file while printing another document." Then it lists the name of the pdf file I'm trying to open.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Looks like this was linked to the way we were streaming PDF to the browser. Not sure what was fixed by the developer on that sequence, but it is working fine now.

I've tried Command Q to close; Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out; I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message:
There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
Thanks

Looks like it got stuck.
You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

What happens if you try converting the page using Acrobat? Is this a public page or internal, if public can you provide the url.

Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open. I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment. When I double click attachment I get the following error message. Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
Let us know if you need help with that. Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.

Creating PDF through Adobe PDF print - Cannot open this file?

Hello!
I have a user who I recently installed Acrobat X on their machine. They are in a program called DSS and he when he goes to file --> Print and then selects Adobe PDF he gets errors when converting a map into a pdf. It shows the Creating Adobe PDF box and has a progress bar. Then an error box says Acrobat Distiller:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\.......
Cannot open this file.
Please check that the correct path and filename are given.
Magically it converts but the problem is with the errors and sometimes the conversion isnt accurate. What port does this need to be on becuae I notices it defaults to COM1???
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

Please have the user post, we need much more information. Operating System, Service Package, 32-bit/64-bit. If 64-bit is the program 32-bit or 64-bit native? Version of the program DSS. What kind of program is DSS and who makes it? Googling DSS doesn't help much since there are several choices.

Cannot Open this file: Z1SQLiteFillRow failed

I'm trying to sync Outlook 2007 Calendar with Ipad and my Samsung S3 Cell. I've downloaded and activated ICloud on all devices and PC. My Calendar Items are disappearing in my main Calendar Folder in Outlook after a short time unless my ICloud and or my ICloud Local Calendars are checked in the Navigation Box. I try to open the Calendar Item in my original Calendar in Outlook to edit or see the event. After double clicking to open the event, I get the following message:
Cannot Open this file: Z1SQLiteFillRow failed Also, sometimes in one of the calendars, when I want to open a new event in the Calendar it won't let me open a new event, says I don't have permission, see your administrator. Lastly, when I go to Organize in Outlook, it's not opening events that I want sorted etc. Can anyone give me any thoughts on these issues. I'm about ready to disconnect ICloud completely but I'm afraid I'm going to loose several months worth of Calendar Events.
Thanks,
grthompson2

Thanks Bob, but sorry i might not explain myself very well. The original file is CS4 and indeed it did open just fine in CS5 until yesterday. Today, all of the sudden i got this message. I am not trying to open a CS5 into CS4...is the other way around and it worked before.

Installing CS5.5, got an error window that says "windows cannot open this file"

I download the CS5.5 files. Clicked on the larger file to open it and received an error window stating that "windows cannot open this file". Any suggestions?

@caroline,
are both files in the same directory?
are you clicking the exe, not the 7z?
if yes to both, right click the exe and click 'run as administrator'.
if that fails, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then click the exe.

Acrobat cannot open pdf files

During a working session Acrobat stopped opening new files. This occurred on 12-3. I restared Acrobat and the problem went away. The problem repeated itself on 12-4. This time a restart did not help. I tried a reboot, program repair, program uninstall/reinstall and system restore. Acrobat still will not open files.
Any thoughts?

Is this opening an issue from Windows Explorer or the file menu in Acrobat? What versions of Acrobat and Windows?

I am new at this. Cannot send out pdf's from my computer. They receive message that says "cannot open this file" or corrupted file. I can receive just fine. Any suggestions?

Everytime I try to send out a pdf file, on the receiving end it shows they cannot open it or it shows corrupted. I send to large companies so I know it is not on their end. I can receive them fine. Don't know if this could be an adobe issue or a Norton's issue. Any ideas I can check out?

I just downloaded Adobe XI onto my macbook air and now I cannot save or print any PDF files. Will not let me do Print-Save as PDF, and if i do Save as i get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I had NO PROBLEMS at all doing this many times until i downloaded the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I am super frustrated.
Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Adobe Reader app
[user]/Library/Preferences
Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
Empty the Trash.
Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

Word cannot open this file because it is larger than 32 megabytes in size?

What is this?? I've created a document full of many pictures and have saved it multiple times. Word simply quit which was a nightmare, but when I tried to re-open my document it simply told me I couldn't. How am I supposed to open the document, in order to reduce the number of photos, so that the document then does not exceed the limit? PLEASE HELP!!

Can't open Word file - too - Microsoft Community
They're saying to try Open Office or Libre Office, and that although the total size limit is 512MB, if text is over 32MB, or appears so to Word due to file corruption... that you may have problems. All for the PC version, but others with Macs have reported the same.

Cannot open this file because it is empty re jpg

AN older jpg file will not open. I get the above message. Anny ideas?

Sounds like this file is corrupted. Restore from your back up.

I have done the latest updates on my photoshop, it is version 14.2.1. What I try to open a file from my Nikon D800 camera NEF file, I get a message saying Photoshop cannot open this file.Can anyone help me with this?

The message says Ïf you are attempting to open a RAW file, make sure you have the latest update installed. I have completed all the latest updates today but still get this message.

Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar. I'll try to help...
1. Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date. You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014). Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1. Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
2. You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
Best of luck to you. Please let us know here if these things help.
