Adobe Reader file opening error

When I try to open a file I get the following message: Adobe reader could not open [FILE NAME] because it is either not a supported file type or becasue the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). How do I fix this? ANy help please.

Hi hassle ,
That's why we did a comparison testing by opening the file with Preview, which yielded the same result.
I would suggest to transfer the file stored on Ipad to the system and then try opening it.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

How can I stop Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

Edit>Preferences
Under Page Display:
Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
Also, under Search:
Click "Purge Cache Contents"

I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
Thank you.

Hey there,
Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
Thanks agian

Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Long hold on the document in mail and it should give you the open in... option, select adobe reader and the file is now saved locally for viewing even while offline.

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

Cannot open adobe reader files.....because it was not a supported type file.......

Cannot open adobe reader file............could not open because it was not a supported type file...........or damaged by email.... What support does it need????

Impossible to say. All we can know is that it is NOT a valid PDF file.
You could take a look. Try this.
1. Open the file in Microsoft Word (or NotePad).
2. If the file is good, use it - it was a Word (or text) file.
3. Otherwise, look at the first few lines. These will probably be gobbledegook.
4. Copy and paste the first few lines into your reply, perhaps someone will recognise what the file really is.

Open adobe reader file - read option - instead of open

When I try to open a adobe reader file by right clicking it I get " read" instead of "open " file.
please see attached file for an example of what I mean.
In the attahed printed screen file it says open - this is OK.
but in my other pc I have only "read" not open.
your help would be appreciated
Thanks
Omer

If I press Read the file opens OK with no problem.
The problem is that if I try to open the same file from a third party program it does not open .
The file looks like it does know what windows extension it is supposed to be.
I will try to post a screen shot from the other PC
thanks
