Can't open an adobe pdf

When I tried to open a pdf created in adobe in the Legacy (genealogy) application and e-mailed to myself on my iMac I get the following error message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Baruch Kaplon Dec.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)., When I tried to open a pdf created in adobe in the Legacy (genealogy) application and e-mailed to myself on my iMac I get the following error message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Baruch Kaplon Dec.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

It is most likely that the email server / servers that the email attached PDF passed through corrupted the PDF.
This happens when improperly configured servers touch PDF (a binary file).
If you can, zip the PDF and attach the zip to an email.
Or - use your Adobe ID to sign into your free "files.acrobat.com" account.
Upload to that from location 1.
Download from that from location 2.
Be well...

  • Can not open multiple Adobe PDF Files at same time

    I am having trouble with opening multiple .PDF files in Adobe.  Once I have one (1) PDF open, when I try to open another file it opens and then instantly force closes that file, but leaves the original PDF file open.  There are no error notifications or anything - its as if you never tried to open the other file.  In short I can only have one (1) PDF open at a time.  It does not matter whether I try to open the file straight from the directory or whether I go to File -> Open -> find file and Click OK.  The same thing happens either way.
    Things I have tried already:
    1) Restart Computer (I think this is SOP for computer issues. LOL)
    2) Closed all adobe session and end processes (in task manager) for all adobe related processes (that I can identify).
    I am running Adobe 9 Professional on Windows XP.  Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.  I have tried researching this issue on this and other forums without finding a similar thread/issue.
    Thanks!

    Are you using any plugins, like PDFlyer?

  • How do I set Adobe Reader 9 as the default to open emailed Adobe pdfs?

    I have Reader 9, and I used to have Adobe Pro XI but I let the subscription lapse. Now I can't open any Adobe pdfs that are emailed to me and all I see is a messge saying that I need to renew my subscription. Help!

    Changing the default application for the OS should also change the file type association for PDF files.
    For Windows XP
    Start-> Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types
    For Windows Vista and Windows 7
    Start-> Default Programs-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
    For Windows 8
    Start-> type: “Default Programs”-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
    For MAC
    Right Click (Ctrl click) on any PDF file -> Get Info -> Change open with.

  • Why can't I open a Adobe PDF file sent to me by e-mail as an attachment?

    Why can't I open a Adobe PDF file sent to me by e-mail as an attachment?

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

  • Why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    Perhaps because you don't know what you have (because there is no product called "adobe pdf translator"), Also perhaps because you aren't in a place to get support from Adobe. If you'd like us in the community to try to help, we might, if you can help us understand what is wrong. What is the specific product you are trying to use, and what happens when you try to use it. Please give any error messages exactly.

  • Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

    Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images.  These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers.  However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page.  There was a problem reading this document (14)."   So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file.  However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it.  The file is written unencrypted.  It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

  • I can't open my Adobe app. [iOS]

    I can't open my Adobe app. It crashes when I try and I've restarted my iPad many times, still doesn't work.

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with Acrobat DC for iOS.
    First, I'd recommend backing up the PDF documents that are locally stored on your iPad so that you won't lose them.
    Please take a look at the following FAQ document and back up using iTunes.
    How to backup and restore PDF documents on iPad/iPhone using iTunes
    Please note that iOS will erase all of the app data (including your PDF documents) if you uninstall the app.
    Once you make sure that your PDF documents are successfully backed up on your computer, would you try the following to see if Acrobat DC stops crashing?
    Uninstall Acrobat DC.
    Install Acrobat DC.
    Transfer your PDF documents from your computer to your iPad.
    Please let us know if it works for you.  Thank you.

    Please HELP! i cannot open any Adobe PDF files anymore. i DL the new version XI and since no files have opened - so i recently uninstalled it and re-installed adobe reader 9 but i am having the same problem - no pdf files open and its really causing a problem as i can not open any work documents. please help

    Three things to try (Reader XI)...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
