  • Adobe reader 8.1.4 crashes when trying to open a pdf link

    Good morning,
    We have an issue with our users. When they try to open a URL pointing to a PDF, Reader 8 crashes after trying to open the link. If I log on as an admin to the machine, the same link opens up fine. There seems to be an issue with the group policy restrictions being applied to the teachers. I look thru our group policies and could not find anything that would stop the normal behavior of Adobe 8 and IE 8 from occurring. Any assistance is appreciated.
    So long,
    Martin Reyes

    Someone may give you and answer here, but you might have more luck in the Reader forum - this is not that forum. It really sounds like a Windows issue as you suggest, but I will let others address this.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

    I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
    This is my error:
    "File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
    I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
    So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
    Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

  • "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" error when trying to open a PDF in Reader

    A few of our employess (only 3 out of over 100 so far) have been getting the error, "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when trying to open some PDFs. Other people are able to open the same PDF files with no error. It's happening on about 10% of the time. I've read a bunch of threads here with this isue and tried some suggested fixes and nothing has resolved the issue. Here is what I have found works and does not work and the info on their computers:
    Computers:
    1 Dell Vostro desktop running WIndows 7
    1 Toshiba Satellite C55 runnign Windows 8
    1 Samsung ATIV Book 4 running Windows 8
    All using Adobe Reader XI but we did uninstall that version and tried previous versions and still got the error.
    Did Not Work:
    As suggested by the company that we use online for claims adjustments where this error is occuring, we tried using a different PDF creator since the files were created using a free PDF creator by the employees. PDF995 and PDFcreator (pdfforge) did not resolve the issue. I then created the PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat, uploaded from my computer to the online program, and that did not resolve the issue.
    Saving the file to hard drive and then opening in Adobe did not work.
    Turning off Protected Mode and Enhanced Security did not work.
    Compatibility View settings enabled in Internet Explorer 10 did not resolve the issue. The previously mentioned claims adjustment software company we use online was code for IE so is not fully compatible with other browsers.
    That being said I did try to open the PDF files in Chrome and it also did not work. Same error message.
    Does work:
    I download the file they cannot open onto my hard drive, open in Adobe Acrobat, Save as a pdf, then email it to them and they can open it via email attachment.
    If they close the error and continue trying to open the file over and over sometimes it will eventually open.
    Is there a setting in Windows that is preventing them from opening a small % of files some of the time? Thanks in advance for any help!
    James

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • How Do I Resolve FileOpen Client Errors When Trying to Open a PDF in Acrobat X or Reader XI?

    I am trying to open some pdf files received from a client that when I try to open them, I receive an error stating, "The FileOpen client has encountered an error.  Please try to re-start  Adobe Acrobat / Reader."  A co-worker was able to open the same files with his version of Acrobat X Pro.  I am not having success whether I use my version of Acrobat X Standard or Acrobat Reader XI; I get the same error with both application.
    Any ideas how to resolve this.
    Thank you.

    FileOpen is a security add-on, which is needed to open some files. Not a part of Adobe software. Maybe you need to upgrade or report it: http://www.fileopen.com/

  • When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)

    When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)

    Hi chasore,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

  • When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

    hello,
    When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
    Can you help please?
    Kind regards,

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?
