Adobe Reader 9 Cannot read PDF

Received a PDF via email as an attachment and I get this message... "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." The person who sent the PDF uses AOL and does not know how to correct the problem. I use Yahoo and my system is WindowsXP. Is there something that I can do on my end to read this PDF?

AOL used to have a lot of problems with PDFs, hope that has not returned. Anyway, the PDF was probably sent as a text file rather than encoded as a binary file. That would make it corrupt and is a problem on the senders end. Older versions of Outlook also had problems with PDFs that would cause a problem on your end.

TS2634 How come my ipad2 Apple card reader cannot read micro sd card?

How come my Apple card reader cannot read micro sd card?

How are the photos getting onto the card ? If you are copying them onto it from your computer then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
If the camera has written them to the card then is the reader fully inserted in the dock ?

PC has Adobe 8 Pro, Adobe 9 Reader, cannot edit PDF tab in Properties

Hey all,
I have a user with the above configuration. Even though I told windows to open pdfs with the adobe 8 pro, the PDF tab in properties after right clicking the file is grayed out and cannot be edited, just like a pc with only reader on it.
Any way around this without uninstalling adobe 9 reader?

Basically, no. It isn't recommended nor supported to have both Reader and Acrobat on the same Windows system. You've discovered one of the many reasons why.

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).

After updating I ended up with 4 icons on my desktop - I cannot delete any of them. The error message reads; "Cannot read from the source file or disk".

I updated from the original version to 6.0.1 and when I re-started FF there were 4 icons on my desktop. I managed to delete one of them, but I cannot delete the other two - to leave me with just one.
I get the error message of "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source fie or disk".

Here's the meaning of the error that you received.
"An error has occurred. ERROR :10-FC06-0002" -- may be caused by damaged recovery media or faulty hard drive"
Possible that the problem is on the recovery also.
Hope this helps.

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?

Windows mail - Reader cannot find pdf attachment

I receive emails with pdf attachments. I double click the attachment and receive an error message from Adobe Reader that says "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found".
There are no special characters in the pdf title.
The windows mail option "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" is NOT checked.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader.
All help gratefully accepted.

This issue got on my last nerve for three week with the advent of a new Dell One running Vista Ultimate/WIndows Mail and Adobe Pro Extended 9.
I googled and found a post by Greg Hughs; his fix worked like a champ.
Here goes;
Open up Acrobat; click on edit/preferences; choose Internet uncheck display PDF in browser under web browser options.
That's it.
Hope it works for you!

T430s Smart Card reader cannot read some cards

Hi all,
I have a T430s with a smart card reader.
Turns out that some cards (including, as it happens, one of my personal cards) the reader can't read. It either does not respond at all, or gives an "unknown card" identification. The very same card, on the very same laptop, using an Athena USB reader, works flawlessly.
I'd say it's a reader malfunction BUT some other cards are read perfectly by my built-in reader... Why would the reader refuse to read certain cards?
Any ideas? Anyone seen something like this?
Thanks for any insight!

Hey 127kmph,
If the driver for the media card reader doesn't work,
I found your computer in the personal system reference and saw you actually have no Smartcard reader. But you do have the 4-1 media card reader. Which is specific to all machine types of the T430s.
With a little more investigating I found out that
You have a Ricoh Multi Card Reader on the computer. This reader is able to read SDHC cards, but to get it to work fully you have to update the driver.
Here is the link to the driver. Which this driver supports XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Thank you NINE.
Hope this works out for you
Please let us know,
Alex

Adobe reader wont read any files, including downloads

Hi, recently my laptop (windows Vista) received a virus, and when i got rid of it, adobe reader 9 will no longer read files. It wont run my McAfee unless i run it in administrator, and wont open any files. When i tried to download Adobe Reader 9 again, the immediate install doesnt work. when i click on the alternate link, and run the file, it says Adobe Reader cannot read the file because it is either not a supported file type, or is a damaged file. any help? I am getting very frustrated with this. Thanks!

do you think i could try it without downloading the microsoft program?
Maybe if you are familiar with the dangerous practice of editing registry files. With the intaller utility, you will be able to choose what to remove. It's not going to remove anything you don't want it to.

also, do i need Adobe Reader 9 to download files? because it keeps asking me to use Adobe Reader 9 every time i try to re download it,
To read PDF files, you'll need Adobe Reader (or a third party PDF reader) yes.

Submit by email doesn't work in Acrobat Reader to send PDF

I am making a fillable PDF and users on Acrobat Reader cannot email pdf, only data file. I need them to be able to send a pdf. What am I doing wrong?

Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option. In that field type the return email address in the following format: mailto:[email protected] Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package. Change that to PDF. Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email." Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

My Macbook pro sd card reader cannot work at Lion 10.7

When I upgrade my Macbook pro (2010) to OS X Lion 10.7, I found SD card reader cannot read SD card !How to fix it?

If you installed a retail version of Windows, the order of installing drivers and utilities matters.
Best to restore the hard disk from Toshiba recovery media.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
Otherwise, use the attachment as a rough guide. Notice that the chipset software followed by the display driver are installed prior to other drivers and that the Common Modules is installed before other Toshiba utilities.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

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.

Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
Pdfs with other versions are okay:
Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,
Louise.

Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.
