On linux, Acrobat Reader will not open files on SMB server

I try double clicking a file on a network SMB server in Nautilus on Ubuntu and Acrobat reader starts but does not open the file.
What's going on?
Alex

Hi Alex, Just for confirmation, have you opened the Windows share in Nautilus directly i.e. using URL of the form smb://<server-name>/<share-name>/ and then trying to open the PDF file by double-clicking? If that is the case, it is a known issue. In the meantime, one way to open the PDF file (if you have sufficient privileges) would be to mount the SMB share, open the share (from the mount point) in Nautilus and then try to open the PDF by double-clicking? Could you please try this and let us know if there are any issues with this? Thanks for the feedback, Varun

Acrobat Reader will not open scanned files

Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, I have been unable to view any documents scanned with my Lexmark printer/scanner.
Until now, I have scanned documents to a PDF in the following manner:
- I Press Scan mode on Printer/Scanner
- Printer/Scanner downloads Application List
- I choose "Scan to Acrobat Reader" and press Start to begin
- Printer/Scanner screen says "Scanning to Acrobat Reader" as document scans & "Scanning Completed" when it finishes
- Message box displays on Computer screen that says "adding image"
- ABBYY FineReader 6 Plus progression meter is displayed on Computer screen until document is 100% processed.
- PDF file of the scanned document opens on Computer screen by Acrobat Reader
Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, everything works the same except the final step. I am unable to view the PDF, and therefore I am unable to save the document. Does anyone know of any settings in Adobe Reader X that I need to adjust so that Adobe could work the same as the earlier version and create a PDF of a scanned document?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

I never did get a response to my original post, but I would like to share with others what I did to finally fix the problem.
The problem I described in my original post was with a Lexmark x4580 printer.
I removed Adobe X from my PC and downloaded previous versions of Adobe reader until I found one that worked. It turned out that Adobe Reader 7 worked. I was able to scan a document from my Lexmark x4580 printer and Adobe 7 opened the document on my PC in a PDF.
I hope this info helps out anyone having a similar problem.
Take care and God bless,
Jay

When I click PDF file, the file does not open and installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Using Maverick, error 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).

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "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).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

Adobe Reader could not open .img because it is either not a supported file type or the file damaged

Adobe Reader could not open .img because it is either not a supported file type or the file damaged

Yes, *.img is either a stone old image format (as in picture/ photo) or a shorthand for a disk image archive. If you're reasonably sure it's a pixel image, use a converter like IrfanView or XnView and turn it into something Acrobat/ Reader can actually use...

Adobe Reader could not open "file"

Adobe Reader could not open "file" because it is either not a supported file or it has been damaged. All files and programs on the desktop are shown as Adobe Reader ikons. When I remove the Adobe Reader program, the desktop is ok but when I reinstall the Adobe Reader it makes a mess again on the desktop and in all programs. It seems that the Adobe Reader is somehow a default program for all applications. How do I solve that problem? Best regards Helle D.

For your first question: are you sure that 'file' is a PDF file and that it is not damaged? And you may find this useful for your second question:
