Adobe Reader - Preview Error

When I try to open a PDF in preview, I keep getting this message on a blank white page in place of the document:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
I definitely have the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have restarted multiple times. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

It's not a standard PDF, but an Adobe "LiveCycle" document. Some, but not all, such documents are viewable Adobe Reader or Acrobat. All you can do is ask the source for a more compatible version of the document.

    In Adobe reader "An error occured when signing in"

    Hi there Katie,
    I just checked your account, and see that it's active. Are you trying to sign in via Adobe Reader? If so, please choose Help > Check for Updates in Reader and make sure that it-s up-to-date. The most current version, 11.0.07, should alleviate that sign-in error.
    Best,

  • Adobe Reader X error

    Adobe Reader X error
    When I save as a PowerPoint file to PDF and open it with Adobe Reader, the following message pop up:
    “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.”
    When I open the same PDF file in Foxit Reader, I can read it perfectly. Unfortunately, I need my PDF files are read in Acrobat Reader because my clients.
    This problem started around 2 months ago. Before that I didn’t have any problem using the same software.
    Could you please help me with this problem? I am using Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Reader X (10.1.2)
    Enrique

    I was having the same problem - Save as PDF would appear to work fine but the PDF file had just a few items from the Master Slide and all the pages were identical. None of the individual page content was visible.
    I viewed the master slide and selected all the objects and deleted them. Then the save as PDF worked great. Using process of elimination I found that two wavy line shapes were all I had to delete from the master slide for the PDF to generate correctly. Looking at the object properties I could not find anything unique or "offensive" that would cause the error.
    We got the template from Microsoft Office Online.

  • HighResDownload of magazine with Adobe Reader X - Error Msg

    Am using AdobeReader X.  Subscribe to magazine that comes as a pdf.  When I download the low-resolution magazine, all works fine.  I typically download the High-resolution magazine and sometimes I get the following Adobe Reader X error:  "The file is damaged and could not be repaired.  Local\EWHf@8'))%@"  When I contacted the magazine the woman says she's had no calls about this error or any other problem with the high-res downloads.

    Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
    Caveats: NONE
    Thank you very much for contacting me.
    The OS I'm using is Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3
    Adobe X (10.1.1)
    I subscribe to an online magazine.  Every month, I get an E-mail with this link:
    http://www.monitoringtimes.com/MT/html/download_issue.html
    I click on that link and click on the current month's magazine (September 2012) and a login message appears which requires a USER Name
    And PASSWORD
    What occurs next is you are asked to AGREE or DO NOT AGREE with the download.  I click AGREE
    The next thing that happens is I'm asked whether I want the Low Resolution or High Resolution version.  While I have NO problem downloading the LOW Resolution version, my current problem (that I wrote you all about) is downloading the HIGH Resolution version.
    After clicking on the High Resolution version, the screen goes black (the lower portion) and remains that way for a while (MUCH longer than when you ask for the LOW Resolution version of the magazine) and then, finally, I get
    Adobe error: "Adobe Reader X" and "The file is damaged and could not be repaired.  Local\EWHf@B'))%@"
    I'd like to give you the link(s) but I signed a statement that I wouldn't (a condition of the subscription).  The important factors are:
    I CAN download the smaller file (LOW RESOLUTION) but NOT the HIGH RESOLUTION (larger file size).  MOST of the downloads have been the HIGH RESOLUTION and never had any problems.  Yesterday was my first such problem.  I had several issues to download and hoped to download the HIGH RESOLUTION as I'd always done and while MOST were downloaded just fine, there were two (2) months of the magazine where I COULD DOWNLOAD the LOW RESOLUTION version but NOT the HIGH.  The publisher claims they've had no calls about the editions I've had problems with.
    Finally, I am using the laptop I always use and am at work using it where I get a VERY strong signal from VERIZON for my USB Modem which is how I get onto the Internet.
    Does any of this help to "Point the Finger" at something?
    Thanks very much.

  • Adobe Reader Updater - Error 1402. Could not open key:

    Adobe Reader Updater, error 1402, could not open key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opt
    I might have accidently discontinue. Can any body help me????

    Hi,
    It  looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e.  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current  Version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL.
    This might be due to  the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the  registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may  be part of.
    People in my network setup were facing the same issue,  and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow  the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl  /subkeyreg  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opti  onalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f  /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    You  should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process  ends, retry the update operation you were originally trying to perform.  Hopefully, it should succeed now.

  • Adobe reader fatal error

    After install Adobe reader getting next fatal error message: Acrobat failed to load its core dll. Please help to fix that issue? Can not open Acrobat reader because of that fatal error.
    The OS used is win xp sp3; version of Adobe reader installed is X (10.1.3)

    Hi to All participants of this Adobe reader fatal error discussion!
    Claudio - thanks for your additional advice, but unfortunately the comments on the web site you provided state next:
    Project has been abandoned. You can now use Microsoft FixIt for this problem.
    And we already did try to use Microsoft FixIt (per your previous note) and it did not solve the problem.
    Pat - thanks for your advice. We use Norton AntiVirus provided by Symantec.
    When temporary disable it - we get the same Adobe reader fatal error and the appl. is not opening. 
    Do you have any other ideas to fix this issue with Adobe reader?

    HELP!

    If you are seeing that when trying to download and view a PDF in a Browser, then you need to open the Adobe Reader program from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement. If you are getting that when trying to open the Adobe Reader application, then you should ask Adobe.

  • Adobe Reader 109 Error (In a Domain Environment)

    Hello,
    I am experiencing the Adobe reader 109 Error while trying to access certain PDF's that are shared over a Windows Server 2012 domain. Only some of the multiple PDF's will experience this error and it seems to happen intermittently. I've done some research and have found a few things I could try but most of these seem to be if you are trying to download the PDF from a email or something of that nature. My current fix for this is to simply copy and paste the PDF from the shared folder to the local desktop, open the file, close the file, delete it from the local desktop and then re-open the file from the shared folder. As I said the only thing I found that I could try is solution 1 in the link below. Does anyone have any other ideas that might work? I will supply feedback once I've tried solution 1 in the step below.
    Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant

    See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf for some basic information on Reader deployment.

  • "Adobe reader server error 16297.333.2486.403" while installing

    I am unable to download Adobe Reader.  Nothing ever downloads from the download manager and I get this error:
    Adobe Reader
    server error 16297.333.2486.403
    Any thoughts?

    Don't use the download manager.  Give us the version you want and the platform, and someone will give you a direct download link.
    Or download your installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Adobe Reader print error

    When I try to print some (but not all) pdf documents using Adobe Reader, my printer "stops" and it won't print. I get an error message in my Printer Status box that says "The process "pdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1." I need to delete the job and then "Start Jobs" to print something else.
    I am using Reader 7.0.8 and printer is HP Photosmart 8250.
    I've tried updating my Reader software and my printer driver without avail.
    The same documents will print fine using Preview.
    Any ideas how to resolve???
    G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Here are a couple of longshots to try:
    Open FontBook and look for font dupes (they have a bullet by them).
    If you find any select them and then choose resolve dupes from the edit menu.
    Close Adobe Reader and then select the application in the finder.
    Do a Get Info and:
    Disable plug-ins—just click the box to remove the checkmark.
    You can fairly safely disable every plug-in EXCEPT for the following four:
    1. WebLink.acroplugin
    2. ImageViewer.acroplugin
    3. EScript.acroplugin
    4. Search.acroplugin
    Lets hope this helps ... Ken
