Cant open pdf foiles in preview or jpegs now

I have suddenly been unable to open files in preview. They come up as not able to read in applications. Dont understand. can open photoshop files in photoshop but nothing else in pdf. HELP

Drag and drop it onto Preview's icon, or select the file, *Get Info* on it, and in the *Open With...* menu in the Get Info window, select Preview.
A PDF file that won't open in Preview is an Acrobat-only file, and there's nothing you can do about that.

    Can you open PDF's in Apple's Preview application?
    I assume you mean Adobe Reader. Where are you getting Reader? From here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html?

  • My iPhone, iPad and G5 cant open PDF or Word attachments on emails generated from a specific PHP written system.

    I use iPhone, iPad and G5 receiving emails generated from a PHP written system hosted on 1and1.  I cant open PDF or Word attachments on any emails. The attachment's file names are displayed at the bottom of the email with no link.  No problem on Windows Outlook.   Is it me, 1and1 or the PHP system!? Does Apple OS handle email attachments differently to Windows?  Help!?

    Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4...  IT WORKS!
    Thanks a lot!

    donut1950,
    Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
    What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?
    What is the version of Android OS?
    What is the mail app do you use to read email on Android?
    When you try to open an PDF attachment, do you see the dialog "Compete action using" with the Adobe Reader icon?  Does the dialog have "Always" and "Just Once"?
    Could you tell us the exact error message that you see when you try to open an PDF attachment?
    Does the problem happen with ONE particular PDF attachment?  Or does it happen with any PDF attachments all the time?

  • Cant open pdf in a Win 7 64bit computer

    I have a Win7 computer and have both Acrobat Reader 5.0 and Adobe Reader 11 loaded. When I try to open a pdf I first get a caution screen saying that Adobe Acrobat 5 has known problems.
    Then, your version of Adobe Acrobat 5 isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
    So I downloaded 11. Now I get a screen that says 11 is not compatable with my operating system.
    Where do I go from here?

    I believe it was Adobe Acrobat 5 is not compatible with your operating 
    system.
    I have since deleted it. Now AOL is telling me it wants to reinstall it. 
    Shouldn't Adobe 11 open it?

  • Cant open PDFs in Outlook

    Hi - suddenly cant open PDFs attached to emails in Outlook - get a message saying error in initialisation/access denied.  This has only happened since the latest updates (using XI) ... it works ok if I save the PDF to my hard drive and open from within the program but who has time?? can someone help me please??

    Hi Jim
    the usual reason, if it's all pdf's - is an adobe pdf plugin not working properly...
    look in both HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and the same folder within your Home/Library/
    & remove any pdf/adobe/acrobat plugins you see, then restart Safari
    adobe acknowledge the problem at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
    although their suggestion is to stay with safari 5.0.x and/or not update to lion
    You don't need it for most pdf's since safari's built-in pdf viewer will show them, or they can be downloaded & opened in adobe reader/acrobat - but if not seeing them within safari is a problem - try http://schubertit.com/pluginpdf/ after removing any adobe plugins.

    Hi vampyro33,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If it seems like system files are missing and applications are quitting unexpectedly, I'd suggest reinstalling Mavericks:
