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...

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.

Is there any was to repair/restore this file? Any help would be appreciated.

The file is on my laptop. It is a turbo tax document that was originally saved to another computer. That computer had a hard drive failure and the file was transferred to the laptop using Mozy along with all my other data. This is the only file that has had this issue.

Totally frustrated, I have downloaded, erased and redownloaded new adobe reader but keep getting error 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 correctl

please comment with any suggestions... thanks jeannette

to clarify, I have read the suggested "fixes" and I suspect this has to do with updated version, should I just try and try to download older version. I have talked to librarian (I used pub med and google scholar regularly for my academic med job) and she felt it was not a digital media licensure upgrade issue. If I erase adobe altogether the file reads as a simple pdf. Please help as I like adobe's feature and would like to continue to use it, thanks! jeannette

I think you should ask in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions

Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

message states "adobe reader cannot open "resume, ;wps because it's 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)

Microsoft Word Viewer should be able to view .wps files; most likely the installation of the viewer will fix the file association.

Hi All,
I would appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I used to be able to access all my pdf files, but now I can't and this is the error message I get on them.
I tried the registry editor to create a bValidateBytesBeforeHeader solution, but either it is not the solution to my problem, or I'm not doing it right.
I would really like some help from you guys so that I can get my files to work.
Thanks

girisht97034793, just a little extra note. There are several possible causes of "file corrupted". These include
* The rules for PDF being tightened up. This is what the bValidateBytesBeforeHeader solution is about. This is NOT the problem here.
* File was a PDF, but got damaged, for example by a faulty disk. Could be this, probably not.
* File never was a PDF. Often, we can see what the file really is. But I can't see that this file is any other kind of valid file.
* File was damaged by a virus or "ransomware". Perhaps this is the problem here.
* File was encrypted. But usually you'd know about this going on.
Anyway, this is just confirming what ~graffiti says, but I'd done the research before replying but I thought I'd share. He has excellent questions.

I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

Is this how I start my new thread?

Thanks.
"Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

Adobe Reader could not open 'Firefox 4.0-2.dmg' 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).

Tried to download Firefox 4 for Macintosh three time and could not prevent Adobe Reader from interfering.

The following document should help: Error: 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 was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.

Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account. If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document. If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.
