AIR, Acrobat/Reader XI 11.0.06 - There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

Hi,
After Adobe Reader and Acrobat updated to v11.0.06 I've started getting the following error message when I try to load PDF file into my AIR application on Windows (Vista and 7) machines: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
I'm loading PDF just like it's been described in Flex/AIR documentation. HTMLLoader loads html that looks like: <html><body><object id="PDFObj" data="app:/pdfs/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"></object></body></html>
The file is in place and I've tried opening it from the Reader itself without any errors. When I uninstall Reader XI and install Reader X instead everything comes back to normal and the file is opened without an error.
What was changed in the Acrobat/Reader 11.0.06 that it prevents PDFs from being opened from AIR application? Or was it changed even before 11.0.06?
Kind regards,
Roman

Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

    I am creating an Adobe PDF file using Save As in FrameMaker 7.0. (I have Acrobat Standard 8). The PDF creates fine, but I used to get the pdf to immediately/automatically open. Now I get the message "There was an error opening the pdf..."
    I did select the option to automatically open the pdf in File > Preferences but it doesnt do it, Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi John Paul,
    Do you get any error code associated with this error message.
    Does this happen with other pdf files too or with that specific pdf?
    In case it happens with that specific pdf, please get another copy of that pdf because the current copy might have got corrupted.

  • There was an error opening the document. File can't be found?

    Hi,
    I seem to get this error when opening PDF files from the internet with Acrobat Reader 8 but when I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed I can open them fine.  Can anyone explain why or how this happens?  Not everyone has the full version, does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this so they can open in the reader.  I have checked the preferences and open PDF file is checked as well.
    Thanks

    You may have to download the attachment to your local system and then open the file. Not all email clients can transfer the temporary file and properly pass the information to Reader or Acrobat. This is a little inconvenient but it is reliable.

  • Message'there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found'

    Using xp home and when I click to download the pdf file, it will give 3 options been 'open'/'save'/?. When I choose the 'open' option, it will give me the above message "there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found"
    owever if I choose to "save" and I will be able to open the file and read it. In this pc its using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with a patch. It was working fine prior to this sudden occurance of the error.
    Strangely I have another pc with the same specification, I was able to choose "open" and be able to read the file. Can anyone help to resolve the issue by using the "open' option instead of "save, then open". Greateful for your prompt response.

  • There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is inc

    I have two machines, both with the latest version of Adobe reader installed. I have received an email which contains 2 .pdf file attachments - the file names are in Russian Font (Cryllic)
    PC 1 opens these docs fine - I double click the file name and the document opens as usual.
    PC 2 comes up with the following error message "There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" - Though if I save the files to my machine and then rename them using English fonts - they open up without any problems.
    Both machines are XP SP2 - any ideas why one machine will open the files fine, but the other one has problems?
    Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    Windows XP SP2, Internet explorer 6, Adobe Reader 9
    Had Adobe Reader 7 - "upgraded" PC's with Adobe Reader 9, now unable to open Adobe documents on some websites. on our internal intranet, no issues, from local PC, no issues, however any document from the http://www.townsville.qld.gov.au website (and several others) unable to open documents. Get the message as mentioned in the subject. It is as thought the document is not copied to temp. Tried both opening in browser and in adobe, on some PC's able to open in browser, however majority, not able to. Below is a link on this website to a page with multiple PDF's.

    I've tried just about everything I can think of, any idea's appreciated. Tried changing most preference settings in both adobe and in IE.
    What changed in Adobe that I am now unable to open pdf's from our website?

    What, exactly, were you trying to do when you got it, and how?

  • There was an error opening the document

    I can't read some of scanned PDF documents in my iPad. I am using Adobe Reader version 10.4.3 ( 69879 ). Are there any rules for adobe ipad? Like minimum how many characters for naming the file? or the max size? Why sometimes I can't open my PDF in my iPad?

    I also noticed that when I scanned using the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Scan Software there are 2 types of PDF files: PDF (.pdf ) and searchable PDF ( .pdf ) If I scanned with PDF ( .pdf ) I can open it in my computer, but not on my iPad. If I scanned with searchable PDF ( .pdf ) I can open in both my computer and iPad. What's the difference between PDF ( .pdf ) and Searchable PDF ( .pdf ) ?

    There is not modern program called Acrobat Reader. There is an Adobe Reader program, there is an Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Std) program. Which program are you using? Under which OS?

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.06 "There was an error opening this document.  Access Denied"

    Windows 7 64-bit
    If I go into My Windows 7 Documents Library folder (which is redirected by Group Policy to a network share), I get "There was an error opening this document.  Access Denied".  If I then map a drive to the share, I can open the PDF without the error message.
    I've read a workaround for some time now for older versions has been to uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup under Security (Enhanced) in Preferences.  I find this does work but this is probably not the best way to handle this situation.
    I've also read one person removed the desktop.ini on the desktop to resolve.
    Is there any official response from Adobe on this issue that I can be pointed too?  Are others still having this issue?
    We plan to update several thousand clients and I'd like resolve this issue before we do.

    We tried 11.0.05, 11.0.06 and 11.0.07 with the same result on different computers with different local Admin accounts.
    When we re-install 10.1.0 the issue is gone and Protected Mode is enabled.
    We then returned to 11.0.06 or 11.0.07
    I'm logged in with a local Admin account.
    I turned on Protected Mode Logging and captured what happens when I attempt to double click a pdf file in my Documents Library with 11.0.06 installed.  Access Denied.
    I then doubled clicked the file from a drive mapped to the same share and the file opened.

  • With Reader XI There was an error opening this document. Access denied

    Hi there, It looks like I have a simular problem. I also get the error "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." This when I tried to open the file by clicling on the file. When I try to open the file from out Adobe reader it gives me the error "You don't have permission to open the file" I use Adobe XI. My OS is W8.1 By clearing protected mode doesn't help. This is what I found sofar: Only the PDF files in the documents and subfolders are giving me this error. PDF files in other folders are fine. When I copy PDF files from the documents folder to Desktop they open without any problem. First I thought I might be a permission problem with the Documents folder, but I have full access. Other files in the Documents folder like Word and Excel files open fine with MS Office. My laptop has WinXP and is shared with my PC when I open PDF files on my laptop by using the network share they open without problems. So it looks like only the PDF files in my Documents folder. I'm not sure but before upgrading to W8.1 from W8.0 I can't remember if I had this problem, but I think I did not have it. To make it even more interested is that I have also Adobe Acrobat Writer on my PC what I use for my buisiness. When I open the PDF files with this program they open without any problem. Therefore I believe it is not a permission problem, I still believe it is a problem with Reader XI, but than only after upgrading to W8.1, but as I already mentioned I'm not sure for 100% only that sofar I know it never happened under W8. Has anyone out there simular problems? And hopefully with a fix.

    This is what I did sofar: Deleted reader XI and reinstalled same problem.
    Because I think the problem is with reader XI I deleted again XI and installed reader X.
    With this version I can open PDF files located in the documents folder without any problem.
    For now I keep using version X until they fixed version XI
    This proves that reader XI will not work under W8.1 when opening PDF files in de documents folder.

  • Acrobat 11 there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired

    we are receiving an error when opening certain pdfs saying "there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    i've tried a few things to fix this issue with no luck
    tried on a brand new windows 7 install without any added software like anti-virus software, etc
    tried on my home pc (I forwarded the document from my work pc to my home pc and still receiving the same error)
    don't think it's anything related to the computers, thinking it's more an issue with the pdf. i've tried the basics like deleting temp files from IE, going to %temp% and deleting that out, doing an acrobat repair, trying in reader instead of acrobat, updating users from acrobat 10 to 11, and still receiving the same issue. the odd thing is, some people can open this document and some receive the error. the other thing is i've tried alternative pdf programs with no avail, same errors from those as well
    i work on the helpdesk with one other person  for the company and not sure what else we can try
    don't think this is a pc issue - tried on pcs in the company, home pcs, personal pcs and all get this error
    got to be an issue with either the pdf, or the way its being sent
    i did reach out to OUR e-mail team here (lotus notes admin) and they've ruled out anything as far as an encryption causing the conflict may go, so notes isn't the issue either
    would it be possible it's on the persons end that's sending the file?

    Unfortunately, CR 10.5 is not supported on WIN 2012 Server. See this wiki for more details. In order to work in a supported environment you will have to upgrade to CR 2008 Service pack 7, or SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (2010 / 2012 / 2013).

  • Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

    I've tried Command Q to close;  Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out;  I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message: 
    There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
    I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
    Thanks

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

  • There was an error opening this document. Adobe Reader XI

    Win Xp, Sp 3. When converting a word-dokument  with Acrobat Elements 7.05 the immediately opening in Adobe Reader XI fails with several of the "well known" messages "There was an error opening this document. File not found" and "There was an error opening this document. Access denied" (translated from Danish).
    The fix by setting this registry entry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    seems to help. But is that a sane solution?

    Hi P.Allan,
    By making the registry setting entry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    Reader will become unsecure.
    Please make it back to 00000001 to make Reader more secure.
    Also, please let me know the following:
    1) Is the converted PDF got saved?
    2) If yes, please let know the path where it get saved?
    3) If yes, can the converted PDF file be opened in ReaderXI from next time?
    Thanks

  • Adobe reader issue there was an error opening this file. the file cannot be found. How to fix this?

    We are opening pdf file in flex air application. but for some user we are facing this issue.

    Problem is not being able to open pdf attachments.  Get this error message:  "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    I searched on the web and in the context of a discussion I located, an Adobe professional posted this solution: HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000.
    I am accustomed to attempting to fix things myself, but I am not a computer science person so it's always a stretch for me. If I get a little guidance I can usually make necessary corrections.  I hope that I can with this issue..
    Still hoping that someone will know how to fix the error problem which according to what I read is a software issue having to do with the program not understanding something in the pdf header...

Maybe you are looking for
