What is happening?

Hi David,
Please note that if you are using OS X 10.6.x, then you'll need to run Safari in 64Bit mode. You can do the same by
1. Go to Applications, Command+Click on Safari to open the Context menu.
2. Now click on Get Info
3. From the new window that appears, Uncheck "Open in 32-bit mode".
This is because on OS X 10.6.8, Safari 5.1 in 32-bit mode is not supported. Refer to release notes for more details about systems requirements changes.
If above information was not helpful,
Please let us know your OS version and whether this issue happens with all PDF files or with any specific file?
Also try to "Reload" the PDF in safari when grey window appears by pressing "Command + R"?

Failed to open pdf files

Hi,
I guess since the latest os/safari upgrade, the application has failed to open pdf files on several occasions. It's one of those files that you have to download then I guess the safari or adobe reader opens it... The beach ball keeps spinning and safari has to be force quit. I have the latest safari and adobe reader.
Can someone please help, thanks.

Why not let Safari/Preview handle your PDF files? Tiger offers this alternative. To do so, remove the Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-in folder (may be in either your Main or User Library folder). When Safari encounters a PDF file, it will then automatically open the file in Safari using Previews PDF format.
Another alternative (which includes removing the Adobe plug-in) is to use PDF Browser Plug-in. This plug-in is freeware for private use.

Failed to open pdf error on every document

Today I came and started placing pdf documents in Indesign CS3 like I always do, and suddenly I start getting "failed to open pdf" errors on every pdf file I try and place. I have tried all the suggested tactics of selecting show import options, changing the crop to bounding box, etc. Nothing working.
I also tried to open the pdf in acrobat and export into a different format or optimize it using the pdf optimizer, but when I do that I get gobbly **** text on the pdf. See screenshots
The only workaround that works is to save as a raster image. But this is incredibly time consuming. I also tried importing these same files into Indesign cs 4 and I get the same errors. I am wondering if this is a system wide issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
I noticed all these pdf were created using cs4 and above. Not sure if this helps.

Hold the Shift key as you click Place or turn on Show Import Options in the Place dialogue.
I get this from time to time. Here’s what I think happens: You placed a PDF with Import Options showing so you could select a different crop method, like bleed. This becomes the new default import option for PDF files. But if you import a file with no bleed data InDesign gives an error message instead of either jumping to import options or telling you the default crop options are unavailable for this file. I would call it a bug. I have encountered it from at least version 4 (aka CS2).

Fail to open PDF file. Error for trying to paste in object.

So occasionaly, i will paste in a PDF into my InDesign document and this error will pop up, Fail to open PDF file. It's not like im opening
the file im just trying to paste it in. I try other pdf files and the same error comes up. Usually this error does not happen when i am pasting in
PDF's into my document but when one error comes up, no PDF's will work. I have to resave my file into another format and then it will work.
What is up with these errors that happen sometimes?
CS5 ID 7.0.3
P.C.

Try it again...this time click the show options check box in the place dialog.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs

Hello,
My Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs. This happens twice a month and is becoming extremely irritating. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing and a system restore. What can I do to make this problem go away?
Thank you.

To check that it is an Acrobat problem, open Acrobat from the programs list and try to open a PDF from the file menu. I suspect this will work fine from what I read into your post. I suspect that somehow your OS is changing file associations. In that case, right click on a PDF and select Open With>Select Default Program and then select Acrobat. Be sure the check box for default program has been checked.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

Adobe Reader fails to open pdf links on internet websites

My computer is running Windows 7, Norton AntiVirus, Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader X. I am able to open and view pdf file attachments in e-mail messages, but am not able to open or view pdf files from website links or web-based sources. When a link is selected, a new window opens, but the screen remains gray while the blue circular "hourglass" icon spins. Eventually an error message appears which states "Internet Explorer has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution to the problem." It is very inconvenient not to be able to open pdf files this way. Can anyone recommend a solution to this problem? Thank you!

Can You give an example of website where it does not work? I would like to check it from my machine (as I also have the same problem with links opening new window with PDF).
@Ankit_Jain: I also wrote about that problem here on forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959677?tstart=0 I am able to reproduce it for simple case (see first and last post). Perhaps if someone from Adobe can follow my example it will be easier to figure out what is happening...

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.

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.

Acrobat Reader no longer works in FF4- Upgraded Adobe Acrobat too and still not opening pdf files in Firefox4.

Can't open pdf files in FF4. Updated Adobe Acrobat to version X but still won't open. Worked before in FF3.6.

What is the version of your Mac OS? Is Safari running in 64 bit (check from Safari->Get Info)? If yes, change it to 32-bit and try again.

Adobe Reader 11 - error message when opening PDF's

I have an iMac OSx. Using Adobe Reader 11. Everytime I open a PDF I get "an internal error has occured" I was trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 11 but the uninstaller in my Applications/Utilities is not there. HELP!!

It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.
