That is very disappointing and it is hard for me to understand why it would be so hard to do that.
I have patients and in the spreadsheet are the dates that I saw them. From every visit I have a typed letter. Why would it be so hard if click on the cell that holds that particuar date to open the corresponding text file?
Nobody said that it's difficult.
The engineers didn't thought that it was useful.
Probably something for a future pgrade.
i had thought everybody would need this is some way.
I'm not sure of that.
If you really wish to get this feature, use the dedicated channel :
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

Can Not Open PDF Attachments

I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8 and using Adobe version 11.0.2 If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
Thanks in advance for yor help.
the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.

Can't open pdf items in safari, and can't get adobe reader installed/working

can't open pdf documents/can't download and open adobe reader on imac

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 4
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 5
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I have Adobe Reader Version 11.0.03 and can't open PDFs. Would appreciate some help.

I have Adobe Reader Version 11.0.03 on a new iMac OSX Version 10-8.4 and can't open PDFs. Here's the message I get: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Any help would be appreciated!

What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

I can't open pdf's from web sites since I upgraded adobe reader

Since I upgraded adobe, I haven't been able to open pdf's directly from websites--I just get a black screen (in Safari, or a white screen in Firefox). I can sometimes right click on the link and either download the pdf or save it as a document as a work-around to enable me to open it.

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

Can't Open PDFs Inside Firefox

I have installed the latest Adobe Reader 9 and want to open PDF documents inside of the Firefox browser on Vista. No matter what I do, I always get a popup window asking me if I want to download or open in Adobe Reader when I click on a pdf file. I have Firefox's tools - options - applications set to "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I have re-installed Adobe Reader and Firefox with the most recent versions. I have manually copied the plugin dll from its Adobe directory to the Firefox directory, over-writing the existing one in Firefox. I have deleted pluginreg.dat and let Firefox recreate it. None of this does anything for me. My IE, however, will open PDF files inline with Adobe Reader. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, after installing Adobe Reader Ver 9.4.0. Using FF Ver 3.6.12 and XP home edition. Prior to this last Adobe installation, I could always download PDF documents from the Internet. But now, when I try to download, I first get an all white page for a second or two and then the page goes all black and nothing happens after that. Have tried it many times, and always get the same result.
I can still open PDFs from those stored on my Hard Drive OK, but I can no longer open or download any PDF from the Internet.
Has to be a defect in the latest Adobe version. Is there any fix for this?
Thanks,
ASC

Can't open pdfs on iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4s will not open pdfs. The loading bar begins but then stops about a 1/4 inch in and the screen goes blank. How can I open pdfs? I have Adobe Reader on my phone.

I'm not even sure which reader it's using. I read online that Safari has it's own reader, but I also have Adobe so I'm not sure which one is trying to open it. I looked in my settings but I couldn't figure out how to determine my default reader. I'm just clicking on a link to a pdf on a website when this happens, although it also sometimes happens with email attachments. Some pdfs open, but most don't - it seems kind of random.

Suddenly can't open PDF's

I am running Windows Vista and have never previously had a problem opening PDFs. I updated something from Adobe and now I can't open PDF's. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the old version, gone back to the new version, run repair and nothing changes. Every time I click on a PDF I get a message saying : "There is a problem with Adobe/Acrobat Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (1:1)"
Can anyone help?

1, Please post in the future in the Acrobat folder. This is the for Distiller Server forum.
2. There is nothing wrong with your copy of Distiller.
3. The content of your pdf file is that complicated. If you don't need the detail it is providing you can try rasterizing the pdf file.

Some users can't open PDFs

Hello
We have an issue with some users not being able to open or save PDFs.
This is only happing with a few users.
It happens through the browser AND through SharePoint views in our CRM (Dynamics), so not a browser issue.
They can open the document by using the contextual menu on the document.
They can't open it by clicking directly on the document link.
Any ideas much appreciated!
*UPDATE*
One user also can't open emails that have been uploaded.

First thing would be to update and repair Adobe Reader on the users affected.
Check which version of Reader they've got and compare it to yours/others whom got it working.
Disable addons/plugins (even if they're sharepoint related)
