Error message opening PDF documents

Hi there,
I am trying to open a PDF document and I am receiving the following message:
"your PDF viewer is unable to display this type of document"
The document I am trying to open is a form that I have to complete, and the form is a interactive form with drop down menus etc. I am running microsoft Vista on my computer.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Kind Regards
Lee

The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

    Hi ,
    I solve my problem :
    1- chkdsk /f to test the disk => nothing particular
    2- I use defraggler to defrag the harddrive ( was very fragmented)
    I thing this two step doesn't change anything.
    3- then i use Adobe Reader Acrobat Cleaner Tool and restart laptop
    4- Reinstall Adobe Reader.
    5- I just let reader11.0 folder in c:\program files\Adobe and delete other old reader folder.
    6- did same in c:\documents and settings\%username%\application data\adobe\acrobat\
    seems to work know
    will survey to be sure and back to confirm

  • Error message opening PDF

    "The document cannot be opened because it is corrupted or damaged".  I cannot open PDF's emailed to me on my Iphone which originate from Quickbooks on-line.  All other PDF's open fine on my Iphone. 

    I would try once opening the pdf on a computer. It is very possible that the pdf reader on the phone cannot read something about the way that Quickbooks creates the pdf. While Adobe might read it, it could have some minute differences the phone cannot identify.
    EDIT: Adobe has a free reader app for the iPhone that can be downloaded from the App Store. You can also try that if you like.

  • Reader error message opening PDfs that there was an error and file damaged

    On my Mac using Mac Mail I get occasional Reader messages when opening a PDF attachment  that there was an error and the file was damaged. But can open on another Mac and on ipad. Cant figure out what in the world is wrong. Thanks for any suggestions. (Did try removing and reinstalling the program) The version of reader is 11.0.03.

    Thank you Catherine & MrToaster - Yes - I've just updated to my new credit card. All the details were correct, inc authorisation code but App Store kept prompting me to update iMovie then, not allowing me to (There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)).
    Your advice worked - I logged out and in again.
    The problem is that I'll definitely have forgotten your tip when my card next expires!

  • Acrobat error message: The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled.

    I'm .pfing a document from InDesign CS2, and even after I use Acrobat 8 to try to reduce the file size, the file is still about 12 mb. I 'm getting the error listed above, and wondering if that has anything to do with it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Content streams are pages, type 3 fonts, comments (annotations), form fields and XObjects.
    If you're really concerned about the file size, one trick (although not recommended since it can cause other issues such as fonts busting out, colour transformations etc) would be to open the PDF and then PRINT to the Adobe PDF printer using say STANDARD or SMALLEST FILE SIZE ... this re-fry might will remove/re-create the content streams and reduce the overall size.
    Cheers,
    Jon

  • Error message: "This PDF document contains forms. The filling of form fields is not supported."

    Hello, I am running with this operating system: Microsoft windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 3
    Just downloaded the newest version of Adobe reader
    Using an updated version of Firefox.
    There is an online form that I must fill out in adobe reader online...  I could download it, but then I would have to FAX or mail it in, as apposed to directly sending it to the organization it is from via a "SUBMIT" button at the end of the form...  I do not have a printer.
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    Do you use the Firefox PDF viewer, or the Adobe PDF plugin?  The Firefox PDF viewer is incompatible with many modern PDF features.
    See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

    I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help.  I get the same message. What to do?

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. Any thoughts?

    I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. How can I access these files?

    I have exactly the same problem. The interesting thing is that the file opens when I attach it to an email and open it out of the email. I already saw the advice you provided in  similar post from Aug last year and checked the security settings of the file and the folder. But according to that I have all rights.
    My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

  • PDF file to be attached in mail .Showing error in opening the Document .

    Hi ABAP Gurus ,
    Good Morning !
    I converted a smartform to PDF and sended to function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send a mail external...
    So, when I tried to open the file attachment, I can't open this file. and I watch a message : 'There was a error in opening the document . The file is damaged and could not be repaired '.
    In one of the earlier threds on www. sdn.sap.com i found a solustion which says to use class CL_BCS but I don't know how to use this class or rather use classes in ABAP Programs .
    I would be thankful if I am provided the sample code or some help regarding this issue .
    I think if somebody provides a solution on how to use function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 that would make me Relieved .
    Regards,
    D Singh

    Thanks Mr. Shehryar Shabbir & Mr. Vijay .
    SDN is not allowing to send email id .Plz share the code in SDN.COM .

  • Error Message "Error while Opening the Document"

    Hi Friends,
    I have a problem while opening the SFP transaction and Clicking on the Layout Tab the SAP System is giving an error message saying "Error while Opening the Document".
    I have tried testing on several systems like IDES, ERP, Retail systems. But it is giving me same error. Is this the problem with ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER?
    And when I click on the Performance Assistant it has given me some information:
    Error while opening document
    Message no. SOFFICEINTEGRATION143
    Diagnosis
    An error occurred in the desktop application while opening a document.
    Friends can you help me in solving this problem.
    Thanking yoy in Advance
    Pradeep Goli

    Pradeep,
    Maybe Live Cycle Designer has not been uninstalled correctly from your system. So goto the following lcaotions and remove the Designer folder if you find them:-
    C:\Program Files\Adobe
    C:\Documents and Settings\<your-username>\Application Data\Adobe\
    Alternatively try installing Live Cycle Designer on some other machine in your network and see if you encounter the same error.
