i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
any help or suggestions welcome

Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone? Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem. Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem? During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad. For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
We can investigate further based on what you will find.
Thank you for your help.

Why after downloading a pdf am I getting that the file is corrupt and can not open?

why after downloading a pdf am I getting that the file is corrupt and can not open?

Probably the file got corrupted during the download? Download it again.
If that does not correct the problem, can you share that file download?

Adobe Captivate could not open.......Ensure that the file isn't open, the file isn't damaged....etc.

Captivate 5

I have been working on this project (@175 slides). Suddenly, as I'm saving my changes, the program freezes & has to shut down & now it appears the file is corrupt. Am I basically screwed here? Is there any hope for this file? I read that Captivate 5 supposedly handles projects with 400+ slides, so mine shouldn't be an issue.
There are no other programs open, the file isn't already open. I'm guessing I'm screwed & get to spend 2 days redoing the work I just did. Thankfully I have a backup, but a backup that doesn't include about 16 hours worth of changes. This has always been a shaky product & I'd hoped that Captivate 5 had improved upon that, but I guess not.
Any help is appreciated

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

I am unable to see text after clicking on a pdf download.I just get a mid grey screen .I can send the pdf to my blackberry and see it -so the file is ok .I recently was at an official site that gave me an Adobe down load /update .Help please .

Why am I suddenly unable to see pdf (on iMac) when I click on them ?There is is just a mid grey blank screen .I have sent pdf to my Blackb and I can read it there ,so the file is OK .I recently tried to down load a recent version of Adobe reader from a government site -could this be the cause?If so ,how do I uninstall it ?

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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

Adobe reader disappeared from my Windows 7, 32 computer, and will not install the download?

Just recently when I go to save a document as a pdf (Mac. OS X 10.5.8) (Print save as pdf ) I cannot open the saved pdf. I get an error message that the file is corrupt or there has been an error.

I use both aol and Yahoo for email - the problem appears in both. It does not happen in Word.
This computer is on a wireless home network, but the error mssg appears no matter where I save the PDF. This is not a problem in Safari.

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

Adobe Reader 9.4.2 - PDFs won't open in IE 8 & IE 9

The recent Adobe Reader 9.4.2 is causing issues with PDFs opening in IE 8 and 9 browsers. Prior to this update our users have had no issues with opening PDFs generated by our website.
Our website generates USPS labels using Siberix ReportWriter software. We have not released any updates for at least a month. Again, before the release of Adobe Reader 9.4.2, there was no issues with our website's PDFs opening in IE browsers.
User System Specs:
Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe Reader 9.4.2
Internet Explorer 8 - "File Download" window issue
Internet Explorer 9 - "File Download" window issue
Firefox 3.6.13 - No Issues
Chrome 9.0.597.98 (with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 plugin enabled and Chrome PDF Viewer disabled) - No Issues
The "File Download" window states the following (in addition to a Save and a Cancel button): "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupt or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download. ..."
We have the following workarounds to address this issue with our customers, but they are not ideal:
Update to Adobe Reader X
Disable "Display PDF in browser" Reader option
Don't update Adobe Reader 9 to 9.4.2
Install other PDF Reading software.
Any solutions to this issue would be appriciated.
Thanks

We are experiencing the same problem, as I mentioned below. I did some research and experimentation, and have a ... workaround. It's not completely satisfactory, but we will go with it until we have a complete solution. Perhaps the following will help others and spur some research in the right direction.
First, a quick review. The problem does not occur with PDFs located on disk; it only occurs with direct streaming of PDF data. Let's also note that the problem does NOT occur with other browsers, e.g. FireFox. So ... technically the problem is not an Adobe Reader problem and we're all on the wrong forum.
My specialty is databases and I'm certainly no expert in this area, but from what I'm able to gather the problem is instead with how IE is recognizing and responding to the MIME type of the streamed data. We're all setting the contenttype to "application/pdf" (or similar) or we wouldn't even be here. But I'm concluding that something - some windows update - has changed the way IE on clients or (in my case) IIS on the server is handling that data stream. If any of you experiencing this issue have servers other than IIS, then the problem is on the client side, I'd say.
Aaaaaanyway, the following articles are old, but helped me:
http://forums.asp.net/p/1036628/1436084.aspx
http://www.techper.net/2008/02/27/4-ways-to-stream-pdf-and-some-tips/
To cut to the chase, the workaround we're going with for now is to add the following to the http response header (this is C#/ASP.NET code):
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=myfile.pdf");
That causes a popup dialog to appear asking the user to open or save the PDF, something that is familiar to most everyone. If the user asks to open the file, it appears in a browser window just as it did before this problem occurred. Again, this is a temporary solution, but at least the user can see the PDF data in a browser with one extra mouse click.
If an Adobe tech support person or anyone with more experience in this area knows the final solution, I'd LOVE to hear it. Please reply here or in email.
Thanks and good luck all.

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Adobe reader won't open PDF file

I have Adobe Reader 9 and Windows 8 on a Dell computer. When I try to open a PDF file from a website it sends me to my Library on my computer and won't open the file. If I try to open a PDF file from my Desktop, it opens OK. What can I do to fix this?

Do you use Firefox' own PDF viewer, or the Adobe Reader plugin? See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
