Can't open one PDF

I have downloaded the free adobe reader, One of the five PDF files will not open.  Can I purchase the upgrade. It is for my personal home use only.

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?
What means "will not opern"; what happens instead?
Also, are these PDF docs online or local files?

  • I can only open one PDF in session. If I try to open a different one, I get the same as before. The only way to see a different PDF is to close the browser and start over. A bit hassle with sites requiring a password.

    Many web sites have links to multiple PDF files. I have no trouble reading the first PDF file, but if I try to open a different one, I always get the first one I opened. Firefox ignores the other links and goes back to the first one. The only remedy seems to be to close Firefox and start over again. This is a hassle for sites requiring a username and password to enter. What's wrong here?

    Do you have Adobe Reader X or Adobe Reader 9.something?
    I think this is a problem with the newest version of Adobe Reader which came out about 5-6 days ago.

    I have gone to Previews preferences and selected 'Open groups of images in the same window' and have tried every setting imaginable and nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Can't open old PDF's

    We recently got new updated computers but we kept some of our old files. I downloaded the adobe reader x and everything, I still can't open old PDF's (saved and unsaved ones like from my email). Something with Microsoft Word comes up, and all funny writing and numbers and such! The only way I can view an old PDF's is I save them again, go to the Adobe Reader X icon on my desktop, and open the file(s) from there. It's quite a hassle because sometimes I don't want to save something, or have more than one PDF open! Help please. (I'm pretty much computer "stupid", so it might be just something small!)
    If you have any ideas for me, feel free to reply below or email me at [email address deleted by host]
    Thank you so much (:

  • How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?

    I would like to open all PDFs on my local MS Windows desktop open in Firefox so I can use tabs.
    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.
    Thanks. -Noel

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

  • Preview can't open any pdf file

    PDF documents are greyed out in the open menu.
    Setting Preview as the "open this document with..." app in the get info window gives the message that "it's not known if this application can open Adobe PDF files"
    At the same time, Safari started crashing on being asked to open a PDF file.
    I've reinstalled Safari, grabbed Preview from a Time Machine backup from when it worked, reinstalled the developer tools in case they wrote over webkit, trashed all preferences and rebooted. No joy.
    I looked at the document types list in Preview's info.plist and the entry for com.adobe.pdf is in there. I've opened an eps file in Preview and saved it as a pdf; I can then open that pdf in Acrobat, but not in Preview (even though it appears in the "recent documents" list.)
    What am I missing?

    Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, report back. If so, download and install the 10.6.3 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix the problem, reinstall SL, and if fixed, run Software Update until you're back to 10.6.3. If still no go, run this one-line Terminal command and restart:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Reader X can not open second PDF

    Hi there
    Have this problem on a PC running XP Pro with SP3.
    Reader X can only open one Document. I have uninstalled the Reader and loaded it again but this problem still exist.
    any suggestions?
    thx

    The HP PC is running with 3Gb Ram, enough Free Discspace (over 100Gb Free).
    It happens nothing when i try to open a second PDF. I always open the PDF Documents directly with double klick.
    But now i got the problem resolved by myself. I deinstalled version X and installed Version 9. Now it works fine again...
    Thanks anyway

  • Can i open a pdf in pages?

    can i open a pdf in pages?

    PDFs are not made for editing but you can import a PDF as an image into Pages. If the PDF is more than one page you'll need to open it in Preview & copy it page by page from the thumbnail pane into your Pages document.

  • I can't open my pdf files.

    I recently installed Adobe Reader XI on my Windows XP system.In order to create more hard disk space I then unistalled Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Air. Now I can't open any pdf files. Q. What should I do ?
    Rainbow_1934

    I see I have been corrected there is so much conflicting on Adobe websites. In one place I read specifically,  that XI only works Windows 7 and above. and Yet here I find out that if XP is properly Updated it works just fine.  So next time a Reader question comes up I will just send them to Reader forum. 
    I wish when Adobe puts out information, and then find out, well maybe it does after all. They remove the old information and update it. 
    Adobe  though is not the only company that does this. To a degree all software companies do so. They put out information say it won't work here or works there. But then later on find out yes it does, or no it doesn't. And they leave the bogus information out for people to trip over. It seems it’s a test to see whether people read the notes to begin with. If a enough people don't pay attention they won't provide them.

  • How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

    How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder?  I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder? 

    No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

  • How can I open a PDF in iBooks on iPhone 5s?

    I have PDFs in iBooks. When I try to open them it says I should open them with Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader but can't seem to get the PDFs to open with it.
    I found a previous thread saying that you can't use Adobe Reader with iBooks, but that was before the 5s came out, so I'm starting a new thread. If you can't open a PDF from iBooks with Adobe Reader, why is it telling me to use Adobe Reader? And how else can I open it?
    This shows what happens when I try to read my PDF, and click on the icon that's supposed to let me open it in Adober Reader:

    This particular file is a PDF Portfolio, which needs Flash to display correctly. When you open a PDF Portfolio in the Adobe Reader mobile it will open in list view to get around the fact that Flash isn't supported on iOS. So, it won't open properly in a native viewer on iOS only within the Adobe Reader.

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank
