Acrobat Reader x 10.0 - Cannot open pdf as a single file

I am using Acrobat Reader x 10.0 on Win 7 64 bit OS.
I save Filemaker 11.0 Reports as PDF Individual Single Files, to a Folder on my Hard Drive.
On some occasions, I can have been able to open these Individual Reports files as a Single Files, each of about 540KB.
On many occasions, when I open what had been saved as a Individual Single File, the actual report saved does not appear on the page, but can be found down the left side, amongst other similar Files and the File size is 1855KB or more, depending how many other files are included.
My intent is to include an Individual Single File as an attachment to an email, but I do not want the recipient to see all the other individual files.
How can I ensure, when I save the Filemaker Individual Report as a PDF file, it can only open as the same Individual Single Report File that had been saved, on its own and not with multiple similar files.
This problem is a pain in the butt and has brought my project to a standstill.
Is this a Design Problem, A Settings Preferences Problem or a Problem caused by me.
I have not encountered this before.
Thank You and hoping someone has the answer I need.

After some persistance and much trial and error, I believe I have overcome this silly problem.
When I save the Filemaker Database Record as a pdf file and the Save As Panel pops up on the screen, there is a Save Box that contains three choices, one of which says "Current Record". When I choose this, everything seems to work fine. So, I guess this is the Fix.
Sorry if I have raised unneccessary concerns within the Forum.

    SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.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).

    Thank you Pat!!!

  • I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open PDF attachments on incoming emails. Why?

    I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open incoming PDF attachments  It says "EULA display has stopped working"

    Go to: C/Program Files (or Program Files(x86))/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader
    Look for the file named "eula.exe" (or just "eula")
    Double click it and accept the end user license agreement (eula)
    You should not see this error anymore

  • Acrobat/Reader X Error trying to open PDF in IE8

    When I click on a link in IE8 to a PDF I get the following message:
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and  try again. (1:1)"
    I have Windows 7 32-bit with IE8.  It worked fine when I had Acrobat 7 standard and Adobe Reader X installed.  Then I uninstalled Acrobat 7 standard and installed the trial version of Acrobat X (need to make sure it works before I purchase it for everyone in domain) and I can now create PDF's, but can't view them in IE8.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I would need some more information to try to diagnose this.
    * can you launch Acrobat X by double-clicking it?  Do any dialogs (like the End-User License Agreement) show up that you have to click through?
    * in Acrobat X, open Edit -> Preferences and go to the Internet tab.  You should see a path to acrobat.exe, underneath the "Display Browser in PDF" checkbox.  Is the checkbox checked?  Is the path correct?
    * can you open a PDF from the internet in IE8?  Try http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/quickie/SONNETS.pdf (my particular favorite).

  • New PCs Acrobat Reader hangs up IE 7 opening PDF

    Hi,
    we made all PCs new with Windows XP prof wit hactual MS Patches and only Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    Starting Adobe Reader works
    double click a pdf works
    Opening a pdf in outlook works
    ONLY OPENING A PDF IN IE 7 DOESN`T WORK. BLANK SCREEN AND IE: NO RESPONSE
    Any Hints?
    PS. Domain Administrator works, User as local Administrator works not.

    Yes, it rules out any version mismatch. Still not sure what might be happening.
    You say that it works when logging in as Domain admin works but doesn't for local admin. Who installed Reader - domain admin?
    One thing to try would be to Repair using the local admin and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Acrobat 7.1 IE plugin cannot open .pdf Files with mt/application/octet-stream

    Hi Folks,
    we have some problems to open pdf - files via Hyperlink in an IE Explorer. this files get from the web-server the MIME-Type "octet-stream".
    the only option is to save and then open the pdf files. But we want to open the pdf files directly IN the IE. the option to open it not in IE is not possible because then another application will not work.
    Is it generally possible to open an pdf File with an octet-stream MIME-Type with the IE-Pluin, and if Yes is ther any possible configuration we could try.
    Thanks for your help
    regards
    Felix

    Hi Bill,
    we already tried to change that checkbox that solves the problem but we get new problems with other applications, so this way is also no option for us.
    also we tried to repair / reinstall acrobat, but it has no effect.
    I suppose that maybe adobe just closed that door to open pdf documents with the octet-stream MIME-Type. Because it could an way to insert executable files in the system.
    maybe a higher version than 7.1 can do this?
    Thanks for your help, here in Germany it is already 2 pm so not far from quitting-time ;)

  • Adobe Reader 10.1.8 cannot open pdfs on latest iMac and MacOS

    Hello, I have a new iMac that I got last spring (Feb. 2013) and it came with the latest Adobe Reader, 10.1.8. (I just recently updated my mac OS to Maverick.) Since starting to use this new computer I've had huge problems opening pdfs. that I download from reliable websites via Adobe Reader. The warning I get is that the pdf file is not a supported file type (or it has been damaged), which I don't believe because I am able to open them on my older iMac. I am also able to open pdfs. received via email. This problem is terribly annoying and I'd be grateful for help in solving it. Many thanks.

    Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
    Empty the trash.
    Dowenload the latest Reader (XI -11.0.4) here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Install it to replace Reader X.
    PDFs downloaded with Safari will no longer be damaged.
    Unfortunately the ones that say they are... are, and you should trash them too.

  • Adobe Reader cannot open pdf created by Firefox; "file is damaged"

    Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac Pro Intel using OS 10.5.8 will allow you to save a web page as pdf, using "Print" then "Save as PDF". If you do this you will save a file. If you attempt to open that file with Adobe Reader you get an error message that the file is damaged. Safari does not have this problem. Microsoft Explorer does not have this problem. It is unlikely that this is an OS problem. Adobe Reader is listed as the app to open pdf files. Is there a fix?

    1. I assume you have some PDF documents you have been keeping a long time. Look at their modification date. Is it what you'd expect (years ago) or is it all the same, recent?
    2. Has a TXT file appeared in the same folder as the PDFs?

  • Downloaded adobe reader from adobe but cannot open pdf on uni website

    downloaded adobe reader from adobe website but when trying to open a pdf on uni site keeps telling me that i must relaunsh adobe reader & accept the end user license agreement, but when install adobe reader it doesn't ask for this? please help

    Accepting the EULA is not done during the installation, but when Adobe Reader is launched for the first time.  That's what you need to do (not the browser plugin, but the actual Reader program).

  • I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. However I cannot open a PDF document online. I was always able to do this on the particular website. What can I do please?

    I have the latest version of Acrobat Reader. However I cannot open a PDF document online. I was always able to do this on the particular website. What can I do please?

    What is your operating system?  Browser?  Reader version?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • I cannot open PDF documents correctly. I get an error on the page that says there is an error on the document. Neither Adobe Acrobat or Reader work.

    I cannot open pdf files that are maps correctly . Some of the data layers are missing. I get a warning message that there is an error in the document and I should contact the originator. I have both Adobe Acrobat and the free version of Reader but neither will open them. When I forward them to other clients, they cannot open them either but can open them from the original sender.

    Open Tools/Options/Advanced/general/Config. editor, copy mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks into the search box, double-click the preference to make its value false, OK, restart TB, and see if you still have problems with pdf attachments.
    For messages that have already been received in IMAP accounts, you can force a re-download by selecting the Message Source (Ctrl-U), then try to open the attachment.

  • Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

    My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
    Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

    I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
    But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.
