Can not open pdf file in Outlook 2010 - error opening document

when I click on the PDF file in the email (Outlook 2010), Adobe opens but it pops a window "There was an error opening this document. Access denied". If I save the document as a file, aka to the desktop, I can open it then.
Also also I click on the ok button in adobe, it posted a Runtime error! application has requested the RunTime to terminate it in an unusal way.
has anyone seen this issue. Desktop is using Windows XP, 4 gig ram, Adobe X verision 10.0.1

Did you try this?  It worked for me.

Open up Adobe Reader X
On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
Go to the general tab under Categories.
Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

  • Problem opening PDF files (There was an error opening this document. Access Denied)

    Hi Guys,
    I understand that I will need to search through all the post before I post anything (and I did googled and searched as well) but I really tried everything they suggested through the post but nothing works. I tried reinstalling the program, downgrade it from version XI to 9. But really nothing works. I can't cut/paste the file else the file will be having this error message (access denied), but if I copy/paste it, it has no problem at all. Anyone has any solution for this ?
    By the way, I am using Window XP Service Pack 3.
    Thanks.

    That is indeed something strange!  The only difference between copy/paste and cut/paste is that the original file will remain or be deleted in the original folder.  There shouldn't be any permission issue by using either method.
    Depending on your file system you should be able to see the file permissions by right-clicking on it, Properties, then select the Security tab.  See also http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/acl_set_per missions.mspx
    How are you opening the file, by double-clicking on it?  Can you open the file if you open Adobe Reader first, Open, then select that file?

  • Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

    Hi!
    Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
    But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
    When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
    When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
    I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
    I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

    I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2.  I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440).  I am unable to print pdf files.  About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything.  I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one.  I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue.  When in Reader, everything seems normal.  When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens.  I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print.  I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem.  I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation:  it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc.  I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong.  It just will not print.  Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried?  I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

    Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.

    That choice is not made by Adobe, but your browser, of which you give no details. 64-bit browsers cannot open PDF files, as the Adobe Reader plugin is a 32-bit app.

  • Not able to open pdf files in outlook

    All the PDF attachment files are opening in word from outlook 2010. Not able to open as PDF. How to fix this problem?

    Moving this to Adobe Reader forum, as I believe you're describing a Reader issue (not a FormsCentral issue).

  • Can not create PDF files 8

    Removed PhotoShop 5 and a few other programs the other day to create more room. Now I can't create PDF files anymore in Excel and AutoCad. When I try, it outputs to my note pad with the following:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Any sugestions.
    I'm useing Acrobat 8 Standard with Windows XP
    Thanks
    Steve

    If the repair does not do the job, then try a different job settings in the printing process. The error you are getting comes from the Distiller step of the PDF creation. You can go in steps if you wish by trying to print to file. Then opening that file in Distiller to see that happens.

  • Can not add pdf files to my e-mail-it just grinds on a 851kb file (11kb worked)not using gmail. windows xp. recently wnld java update.

    downloaded some java update for downloading support from Ontrack. SInce then firefox will not attach pdf files to my e-mail. not using g-mail, using yahoo. Windows XP. It will add small files (11kb) but just grinds on a 851kb file and never attaches it.If I choose to unclick "enable java" - the "attach files" box disappears from the attach files menu.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Can't attach PDF File in Outlook

    When I try to attach a pdf file to outlook message, the pdf comes across as 0kb instead of the 500kb or so that the file is. Worked fine yesterday morning, now it does not...system has not been updated or anything in that time frame
    Thanks in advance!

    My Outlook doesn't do this. Are you sure you're attaching the PDF and not an alias to it?

    I'll take a guess that review should read Preview, is that correct (If it is the answer to Eric's question is Preview)

  • Open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X on Document library file click

    Hi,
    Can you anyone tell me?
    How to open PDF file in reader from document library on pdf file click?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X in SharePoint Document Library.
    We need to provide the OpenControl key in the DocIcon.xml and clients should use Acrobat X or Reader X to leverage.
    Here is a blog for your reference:
