Cannot open pdf on ipad 3

I have tried to open pdf files on my mail application on ipad 3 but it shows 'Please wait....If this message is not eventually replaced.....You can upgrade to the latest version......'. I downloaded the adobe reader from the apps store but it still doesn't work. Please help. Thank you.

Viewing pdf files in Mail has nothing to do with Reader for iOS. You would need to open the pdf in the Mail program then move it to Reader IF you wanted to use the Reader program. The problem with the pdf file can be due to either the type of PDF file not being supported, the file not downloading from the mail server, or some other glitch. I recommend restarting the iPad and trying again.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

Sometimes the GC's are mailed out. You don't always get them right in the store IIRC.

Cannot open .pdf attachment in entourage

Hi
I am receiving .pdf attachments which are greyed out, and cannot open them. Telstra helped me with my email problems yesterday and since then cannot open .pdf. I can open other attachment such as .doc. Entourage Version 12.3.6 in my Mac Book Pro.
I can open the same .pdf in my Ipad.
Thanks

Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

I cannot open PDF documents correctly. I get an error on the page that says there is an error on the document. Neither Adobe Acrobat or Reader work.

I cannot open pdf files that are maps correctly . Some of the data layers are missing. I get a warning message that there is an error in the document and I should contact the originator. I have both Adobe Acrobat and the free version of Reader but neither will open them. When I forward them to other clients, they cannot open them either but can open them from the original sender.

Open Tools/Options/Advanced/general/Config. editor, copy mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks into the search box, double-click the preference to make its value false, OK, restart TB, and see if you still have problems with pdf attachments.
For messages that have already been received in IMAP accounts, you can force a re-download by selecting the Message Source (Ctrl-U), then try to open the attachment.

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

cannot open PDF files in safari. It tells me first character is invalid - I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled the program.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

Which Operating system you are using?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

After activating "Click-to-play" plug-ins, I cannot open pdf files.

In the latest release of Firefox, information about how to prevent plug-ins from loading automatically was in the release notes. I activated this in about:config. (Click-to-play).
After that, I cannot open pdf files! When I click on a link all I get is an empty window. Reloading page don't help.
What I can do, is to click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page. Then the pdf file loads.
Another work around is to copy the link and paste it in IE.
Is this a bug with "click-to-play"?

Thanks cor-el. I have read the various bug reports and it is indeed the same. Has been known for a while...
Anyway, I find no mention of the work-around: "Click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page."
I don't know if there is a place to give that feedback.

Cannot open PDF files on Mac

I cannot open PDFs on my Mac but can open the same files on my PC. When I create a PDF from the computer and when I send it to our office printer as a scan-PDF, I cannot open either. Have downloaded Adobe Acrobat, etc., and still waiting for a response from them. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't use Acrobat, use Preview. Preview is already pre-installed on your computer. If you cannot locate it, type Command-Shift (opens Spotlight) and type in Preview and hit return.
