Error Messages when opening downloaded PDFs

Whenever I try to download a .pdf file I get the following messages when I try to open them:
"There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)". Or I also get......
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
I have downloaded the latest Adobe reader and I use a Macbook Pro with Lion operating system.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
I am now getting a new error message: "There was an error opening this document. The root object is missing or invalid."

It sounds like you might be running into an error related to third-party plug-ins:

  • Firefox crashes when I try to attach a file. Seems related to second problem, receive error messages when opening a pdf in adobe (which I've reinstalled twice)

    Crash report:
    bp-74bcae4f-7091-4121-a809-5d0a12140616 is the crash report.
    I have a Toshiba.
    When I open my email (gmail, school email) and try to attach a file, firefox immediately crashes and gives me two error messages. first one is a WerFault, i think. I don't know if that's relevant.
    Apart from these crashes in Firefox, I am also having the same problem when trying to view or open a pdf in adobe reader, or even open adobe reader itself. It won't try to open, I just receive the error messages. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it two times now. I did this thing suggested online where you go into the control panel and look at all your plugins. Then, "repair" adobe reader - pretty sure it's just a button that says repair. that didn't do anything, of course I also could have done something wrong.
    I realize this could be a problem unrelated to Firefox, but I'm doing what I can before I take my laptop in.
    Please save me.

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

  • Getting error message when opening a PDF thats in a curriculum

    I have a pdf that is in a curriculum, and the window is able to open and the pdf opens for a split second, then the message error=0, error_text=none appears in the window.  See the attached image.
    Some background information:  I just revised this content (converted from a word document) and published it into the curriculum.  I am able to successfully open updated link in my Content folder and also from the curriculum (when I am signed in as a admin).
    Can anyone help me diagnose the reason I am getting this message and why I cannot open this pdf?  Thanks in advance!

    Have you reinstalled that plugin (Acrobat), or tried to use Firefox's bulit in PDF reader (PDF.js).

  • Error message when open a pdf

    I am not able to open any pdf.   I have unstalled the reader but the error message still the same and not allowing me to install again.   Please advise how to fix this error.   I am using Windows 7.
    install_reader11_en_gtbd_chrd_dn_aaa_aih.exe  contained a virus and was deleted.

    When do you get that message, during the download, or during the installation?
    Can you post a screenshot of that message?  I am not sure if this is caused by MSE; I have no problems downloading any of these files (running MSE).
    It could also possibly be a malware infection of your system that is preventing you from installing software.

  • Getting an error message when opening a PDF being displayed in FF 24 in Adobe Acrobat XI

    I have the very latest versions of FF and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and FF Adobe Acorbat Plugin. When I open a PDF (regardless of size) and view it in FF then click the download button then select the option to open in Adobe Acrobat I get the error stating "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. " If I download the file locally THEN open it usually works fine. This happens to me on both Mac and PC. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

  • I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

    The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

    I tried what you suggested and it did not help.  whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again?  If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close.  If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document.  It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed.  do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?

    Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?

    Try 2 solutions: 1.  Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes.  Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'.  left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
    2;  Start ITunes normally, then  after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...",  runs for more than a few seconds.  The code problems are in Match;  the uploading function in Match.  ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough!

  • Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

    PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update.  Mac OSX 10.8.2   16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3  543 GB Available
    I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version).  The message is:
    This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable.  To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. 
    Three options follow:  Flatten  Cancel  Keep Layers
    When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal.  However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
    I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should.  Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues. 
    I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5.  Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
    Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

    This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
    If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
    But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
    You said your using shape layers?
    If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
    Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
    I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

    I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.
