Cannot Preview File

I download two PDFs (created in Word), but both then say "Cannot preview file--download file." What is the problem?

Where are you seeing this error?

  • Cannot preview file- need latest adobe version

    Hello:
    Whenever I try to view a file that I download or share on acrobat.com. This message come up:
    After I click "preview", the another message appears telling me that I need to download the latest version of adobe reader to view the file. The latest version is 9.3 and I have done that already so I do not know why it is not showing me the file as it should. Can anyone help with this?

    Hello there,
    Thank you for posting to the forum. The problem of misrecognition has appeared before, and we believe that it stems from incorrect data coming from the document's place of origin - namely, whatever program was used to create the PDF. Unfortunately, there isn't anything that we can do at Acrobat.com to resolve the issue; I will, however, be sure to alert the Acrobat team to see if they know anything about it.
    As for previewing the file, there is no reason that you should need Reader to view the file in Acrobat.com - although it's possible that you need to update Reader in order to view a file from your computer. Would you mind giving me a little more information about what you're seeing when you try to view the file? The more detailed account you can give, the easier it will be to figure out what's going on.
    Thank you very much for your patience.
    Kind regards,
    Rebecca

  • Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing and garbled text on a downloaded image

    Dear Madam or Sir,
    When I click on a file titled "Subject Access Request Letter re Account Number 12527629 Sort Code 60-10-34 24022015.pdf", which is stored in my Account on Acrobat.com I get the response "Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing". This file was created from an OpenOffice .odt document of the same title. Please advise.
    I downloaded an image, which purports to be a .pdf, from the Royal Mail Track & Trace web facility using my Samsung S5. The text that I expect to see might as well be hieroglyphics for all its similarity to text. Please advise.
    Regards,
    Ron Platt
    PS I have tried to attach both files (.pdf) but am advised "That image type is forbidden". Please advise.

    Hi Laura,
    I have found the solution to be:
       1. Not to upload to "Document Cloud" from the .pdf stored on my PC and
       open on screen.
       2. To login to Acrobat.com from the .pdf stored on my PC and open on
       screen, select "Document Cloud" and the sub-folder required and then upload
       the file
    I have a feeling that there is a glitch somewhere, because after I have
    opened a number of .pdf files stored on my PC, and irrespective of whether
    I have closed them prior to opening the next .pdf file or left them open,
    Acrobat Reader will display (Not responding) in the window title bar. The
    "number of files" equates to less than 10. I, then, click on the X at the
    right of the window title bar and I am given the option of "Close the
    program" or "Wait until the program responds" (or words to that effect). If
    i choose the latter, nothing happens and I am back at the unhappy status
    quo. If I choose the former, I am told that Windows is searching for a
    solution, which it never finds. I, then, have to shut down the PC and then
    start it up, again. Clicking "Restart" does not solve the problem.
    I have described the above before and received the usual "it cannot be
    Acrobat, it is perfect" response. I could, I suppose, screenshot/snip every
    sequential screen but why should I have to when I have described the
    sequence as fully as I can. So I have found a "workaround" that does not
    solve the "Not responding" problem but does solve the problem of not being
    able to upload from the open .pdf file to the sub-folder in "Document
    Cloud". I am, on occasion, working through the myriad of .pdf files that
    are in the root folder of "Document Cloud" and putting them in the correct
    sub-folder(s).
    I have today read that Google is starting a cellphone service in the USA in
    which a monthly "access" rental (US$20) is paid plus a GB capacity usage is
    elected for at a rate specified, e.g. US$10.00/GB. If the subscriber  does
    not use the elected GB capacity Google refunds the US$value of the unused
    elected GB capacity.
    Suggestion: Adobe applies that kind of policy to its online software
    package usage rates, e.g. I elect to subscribe to a particular level of
    online software package usage monthly, but, if I do not use all of the
    programs included in that online software usage package, I am credited back
    for not having used the softwares, that I did not use, that were inclusive
    in that online software package offer.
    Regards,
    Ron

  • Cannot preview PDF files in MS Word

    After downloading Adobe XI I cannot preview PDF files from MS Word file list

    Word cannot and will not open or preview PDFs because a PDF IS NOT a word document or text document.
    If you try File>Open and choose a PDF you will see a page full of Unicode which makes up the PDF. That I guarantee will be completely useless to you.
    PDFs open in Reader and Acrobat (or Foxit - but that's not an Adobe product)

  • Cannot preview office attachements in Outlook 2010

    I just installed Office 2010 Home & Student and Outlook 2010.  But I cannot preview any Office files in Outlook.  It says "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it".  PDF attachments preview just fine.
    When I go to Trust Center settings and view "Attachment and Document Previewers...", I don't see anything specifically related to office in there.

    Hi,
    From your description , I understand that you cannot be previewed any Office files in Outlook  because there is no previewer installed for it.
    So based on your current situation,  I would like to recommend you uninstall your Office 2010 and Outlook 2010 completely use the KB article link.
    How do I uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if I cannot uninstall it from Control Panel?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    then reinstall your Outlook 2010 separately.
    Sincerely,

  • IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

    Question, asked professionally
    When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
    Question, asked snarkily
    Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?
    Specs
    iPhone 6 Plus (contract-free, 128 GB)
    iOS 8.1.2
    iMovie for IOS 2.1.1
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014)
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    iMovie for Mac 10.0.6

    iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
    iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
    Frustration
    Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
    The year: 2015
    Hours lost: Three Weeks
    Total costs for both devices: $4,000
    Background Details
    I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
    Likely Suspect
    I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
    Suggestions
    I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE  OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
    Resolutions
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
    Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
    Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
    As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • Cannot preview attachments in gmail

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4. Since that time I cannot preview .doc, .xls or .pdf attachments. I can preview small .txt files. I know this is not an issue with gmail because I can get previews in Safari. Using macbook pro with OSX 10.6.7. I look forward to hearing from you.

    You're welcome.

  • Preview  files

    Hi. A couple of things with previews.
    Is it normal to have a 1 folder with 1 file in it for every preview in the preview directory ? If you delete images does the preview file and folder get removed also. I seem to have more preview folders than images. Some of the preview folders are empty.
    Also I notice that when I go to folders in Library and select all pictures then scroll down the list the thumbnails seem to be blurred at first and the 3 little white dots appear as if Lightroom is re-rendering the images.
    I thought that once it did them the first time it would not do them again unless the image changed.
    As a new user moving from Elements 4 I am trying to get a grasp of how Lightroom is organized so any info much appreciated.
    OS is Windows with SP2.

    "And, the previews are cached, but you'll still see the three dots for a moment as you scroll, but if they're cached they should all go away a whole screen at a time. "
    This constant rendering of thumbnails and previews is the strangest thing about LR. I have a pretty fast computer running XP Pro SP2, 3ghz dual core with 4GB fast RAM, great video card, Matrox P650 128mb and fast SATA 10,000rpm hard drives, optimized in every way recommended by Adobe and it will not stop rendering thumbnails or previews. I render standard size previews (1680) upon import and render 1:1 previews after import.
    I only have about 11k images in my library, mixed JPG and Canon RAW, and I simply cannot browse my images with anything like reasonable speed. LR is the slowest image viewer I have ever tried. Free stuff like Picasa is way faster and so is cheap stuff like ACDC. I mean way, way faster.
    If I show LR a big group of pictures, say 2-3,000 images, it slowly renders the thumbnails as I scroll down screen by screen. The white dots appear for a whole screen, then disappear one by one, not a whole screen at a time. Finally, after the white dots disappear the thumbnail is sharp. If I scroll down say 5 screens of images, then reverse direction, the thumbnails re-render as I go back up the list of files! The 3 white dots reappear even though those thumbnails just rendered 15 seconds before! What in the world is going on? If I try to browse images in Fit or Fill or 1:1 size, the performance is even slower.
    Since my computer flies through images, thumbnail and preview, with every other photo program I have tried, I have to think that LR is the problem.

  • Cannot duplicate files in finder

    I recently ugraded to Lion, and am just realizing now that I cannot duplicate files (Command D) in the finder.  The progress window shows the copy being made, but the duplicate file, which used to show up just under the original file as "file name copy" does not appear.  When I do a spotlight search, the copied file is nowhere to be seen.  Also tried doing an Option-drag-to-finder.  That didn't work either.  I was trying to make a copy of an image and then rename the new file to send to someone.  I had to go through Preview, then Unlock the file and then save as another name.  A ridiculously long process.  Anyone have any ideas?

    did you try selecting the item in the finder
    press cmd + c
    press cmd + v
    presto, you have a dupe of the file that has it's name appended with the number 1.

  • Finder is crashing when previewing files

    My finder keeps crashing when previewing files from an external hard drive. It's mov-files and stills(cr2).
    I have files recorded on two separate days. When previewing files day 2 there's no problem but when previewing files from day 1 finder is crashing every time. I have back up of all the files on another drive. On the back up drive there's no problem to preview files.

    That is why I want you to erase it.. so you can get access.. but I cannot trial it for you... I do not have one.. you have to trial it yourself.
    Setup the TC to use Accounts.. not use disk password or device password.. after an erase.
    See if that fixes it.
    See this post for different but maybe related issue.

  • Cannot preview topic in RH6

    Hi,
    I'm using RH6 on Windows XP. I cannot preview a topic in RH
    now. It was working fine just a minute ago... but now, even after
    re-starting my machine, I have the same problem. I open a topic,
    then right-click and select Preview Topic. Nothing happens. I can
    still generate my WebHelp --- just can't preview topics.
    Any hints or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    FMnRH

    Thanks - I found the solution (snippet # 61) for editing the
    Windows registry file and the dual monitor information very
    helpful. However, I did not find an item labeled "Preview in
    separate window" in the Windows Registry Editor. I made all the
    other changes and everything seems to be working ---so far, no
    other windows have disappeared to Jupiter. :)
    Thanks,
    FMnRM

    I cannot preview the iBooks I am creating on my MacBook because my iPad is "supervised" by my employer's computer. Is there any way around this?

    Email your .ibook file to your supervisor; put your .ibook file on a server and use whatever iPad to navigate there via Safari, then download and open using iBooks.

  • Preview file format and codec.

    Hello yall
    How are you guys?
    So When I open Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and make a new sequence, in the General Tab at the bottom, there is a Preview File Format and Codec.
    and they are both set up as MPEG I-Format, How do I change this?
    Also in the sequence preset, I am using HDV 720p25, to make the screen size 1280 by 720.
    If you have trouble understanding the above please ask for more information.

    when i export and select match sequence settings it goes to the mpeg I-frame and i cannot open it
    Changing the preview codec will not change this. Also, don't use Match Sequence Settings. It's not what you want to do, despite it seeming to be the easy solution.
    i am uploading to youtube. so i have to make the dimensions 1280x720
    In that case, you'll get decent results by selecting H.264 as your export format, and then choose the YouTube HD preset.
