Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents
Hi,
I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
Thanks

Hi,
Can someone help me on this please?
I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
Any help on how to solve this will be great.
Thanks

Adobe Reader crashes when opening any PDF
Hello!
I have the latest Adobe Reader installed on my parent's laptop. When we try to open ANY PDFs in it, the program crashes and displays the "Adobe Reader has stopped working...." message. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program multiple times and still can't fix the issue. My dad needs it to fill out tax forms when the time comes.

The issue is only happening on their computer. I have the same computer model, but 2 lower and I have no problems doing anything in AR. What could be the problem and how can I help my parents fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!Hi raptorsama,
Is there any specific error that comes?
You might need to navigate to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader'', then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
If this does not work, then follow these standard steps as given below:
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 (Ref: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services
(Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
> Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check
You can also go for a repair option by selecting 'Repair Adobe Reader Installation' option under the Help menu.

Adobe Reader could not open 'aw14lookbook.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).

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?
I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.
This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

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.

That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361). -

Adobe Reader could not open 'xyz.pdf'
Hi,
From my project I download pdf file. PDf file download in particular directory is successfully.
But when I open that PDF then I got Error Message.
"Adobe Reader could not open 'XYZ.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). "
so what's problem? how can fix this bug?
My file download code
this.response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+fileName+".pdf");
fileData = new byte[(int)file.length()];
in = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
byte[] outputByte = new byte[4096];
//copy binary contect to output stream
while(in.read(outputByte, 0, 4096) != -1){
outputStream.write(outputByte, 0, 4096);
in.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();Is the downloaded file a valid PDF file? Just by naming something *.PDF does not make it a PDF file.

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?
Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?
Hi Steve,
Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks. -
