Captivate 5.5 PDF not opening in Acrobat Reader 9.4.5 - why?

Why won't a PDF created in Adobe Captivate 5.5 open in Acrobat Reader 9.4.5? I keep getting an error at work. I am not able to upgrade my adobe reader at work and am wondering if I NEED Acrobat Reader 10 in order to view these PDFs.

Captivate 5.5 PDFs not working in Acrobat 9.5.1

After updating Adobe Acrobat to v.9.5.1, the PDF files that we create with Captivate 5.5 no longer work. Instead, only two pink rectangles without content are shown (see attached screenshot).
The PDF files work fine in Adobe Reader X. The content is also displayed correctly when I remove the table of contents from the Captivate file, but this is not something we want to do.
Is there a solution for this?

Hello There,
There is no issue as such with Captivate generated PDF opening in the reader version 9 and above. Can you please email me and I can check from my end. My mail is [email protected]
Thanks,

PDF not opening in Adobe Reader using openWithDefaultApplication

Hello all,
I'm having a huge problem.
I've developed an application that opens pdf files from the desktop using openWithDefaultApplication().
It works great on my development PC which has Acrobat Pro.
The files open in Acrobat Pro flawlessly.
It DOES NOT work on other PCs that only have Adobe Reader.
Someone please help!!
Does anyone know why my application won't open pdf files using Adobe Reader?
All tested PCs are running Windows 7 and Air 4.0.
I've tried with both Adobe Reader X and XI.
Thank you in advance,
Mr12.

Password protected files not opening with acrobat reader 9

I receive text file embedded in a PDF which is password protected. I just changed my comp from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and got the reader 9 duly updated. Earlier I was using reader 7 and the files used to work and open. Now they do not open and their is a big PIN mark on giving the password. The following message is displayed "Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened" the file type is ZIP. Please help

But it did work on windows vista with reader 7. If it is not at all possible then
my question is can I uninstall reader 9 and install reader 7.
will it work on windows 7 64 bit

PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

FIXED!
Priner Setup Utility/Reset Printing System
Then added priner again.
Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.
Something regarding cups?

Specific PDF not opening in Adobe Reader on Lumia ...

I get an error message on a Lumia 625 when trying to open a downloaded pdf (88Mb) in Adobe Reader Vers 10.4.3.
I have more than 3Gb free space. The file seems to be successfully downloaded & joins the list of all PDF documents in the Adobe Reader app. All other PDFs DO open OK. Just not this one.
The message reads “The document path is not valid” & phone screen shows “Loading...” but fails to actually open anything
What does this mean & how do I fix it? Thankyou in advance...

Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset" is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb) is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

Can not open Adobe Acrobat reader, when downloading a document...?

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader "successfully," yet when I try and download a file, the pop up says would you like to download Adobe reader??

If the above does not resolve your issue, please provide some details.

Save As....PDF does not open in Acrobat Reader

I'm using a mac with all the lastest updates.
I have version 11.0.03 of Adobe Reader
When I use Safari to view a .PDF file, I can view it with no problems.
The problem comes after I SAVE that file. So when I'm viewing a site such as http://www.lightroomqueen.com/downloads/shortcuts/lightroom_shortcuts_40_mac.pdf and then in Safari I go... FILE>SAVE AS...and select that default file name with it's .pdf extension it does save to that destination. But...when I try to open that .pdf file via Adobe Reader..OPEN...(filename.pdf) I receive this messege:
"There was an error opening this document. The root object is missing or invalid."
How do I correct this issue please?

Don't use File Save in Safari. As you can see it does not give you the expected results. Instead, use either the disc icon either in the menu bar at the top or the disc icon at the bottom of the PDF in the HUD (Heads Up Display).

"open in preview" leads to open in acrobat reader

pdf in safari 4 are opened (in the browser window) with preview. but when I then want to open the pdf in preview with the popup dialog on the bottom of the window, the pdf gets opened with acrobat reader 8. I deleted the plug-in in library-> internet plug-ins, undid the automatic launch thingy n acrobat reader - did not help. any suggestions? cheers

HI,
You can select a specific application to open a document. Do this if you prefer using a certain application or if you don’t have the application that was used to create the document.
To change the application that opens a document:
Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
Click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
Choose an application from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different application.
If you want to use that application to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same application, click Change All.
If you want to open a document in a different application without changing the application that normally opens it, Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the application you want to use. You can also drag the document to the application’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

When I receive e-mails w/ attachments in PDF they show up as win.dat attachments and will not open w/ Acrobat

When I receive e-mails in Mail w/ PDF attachments they appear as win.dat attachments and will not open w/ Acobat Reader or Professional.

PDF Form opening on Acrobat X

I cannot open a downloaded PDF Form on Acrobat X on Mac, but it opens on Acrobat Reader. My Plug.in AcroForm is loaded. Any hint or halp available?
Message given by ACROBAT X:
"Unable to read the form. Do not save and exit the program as it might cause data corruption or
loss. The form can only be edited using Adobe Reader software!"

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I disabled JAVA and got now the following message:
"If the form is viewed in "Protected View" mode, all features should be
enabled for the form to
function properly. If after enabling all features this message is still
visible, check that JavaScript
is enabled in Edit Preferences Javascript"
Enabling JAVA leads again to the initial message?
Best!
