Error opening an uploaded Winzip file

Hi
I have uploaded a zipped file into the portal, but when I click on it, it gives me an error that the file is corrupt. I checked the file, and locally on my harddrive, it opens up perfectly.
I tested it with a couple of files.. and the only ones that opens is zipped text documents.
Anyone have encountered the same problem and maybe know how to resolve it.
regards
Marius

Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
i.e.:
Opening the following path results in the error:
L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
Removing the comma so the path becomes:
L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
works just fine.
So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
To sum my questions up:
- Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
- Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
- What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

Message'there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found'

Using xp home and when I click to download the pdf file, it will give 3 options been 'open'/'save'/?. When I choose the 'open' option, it will give me the above message "there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found"
owever if I choose to "save" and I will be able to open the file and read it. In this pc its using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with a patch. It was working fine prior to this sudden occurance of the error.
Strangely I have another pc with the same specification, I was able to choose "open" and be able to read the file. Can anyone help to resolve the issue by using the "open' option instead of "save, then open". Greateful for your prompt response.

Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)

How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
For example...
I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
I click on select file on the website
Finder opens and defaults to 'Downloads' folder (it happens with all wesbites)
How do I change this?

I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
I click on select file on the website
You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

If you save the file to the pc, then open the .pdf it opens ok
other pdfs open ok from browser from same website and different websites
had customer try on another's machine; the two pdfs opened ok
tried Adobe Reader 8.1, 9.0, and Adobe Professional 8.0
uninstalled reader and professional; deleted directories; reinstalled reader and professional(placed into a separate directory); same error
On the machine tried admin accounts, under customer's profile made admin account, renamed the customer's account so that another account was freshly generated, all generated the same error.
Ran ccleaner to clean up files in the registry and temporary internet files, then repaired adobe - same error
repaired internet explorer - same error
scoured web for same error but most were applications trying to open the pdfs, a few errors were for programming php, a lot of questions but few answers in context of current issue. the ccleaner and repairing ie were resolutions i found on the web.
nothing was listed in msoft's ie knowledgebased searched.
any help would be appreciated.

I get the same message when I try to open a pdf attachment in my free AOL e-mail account. This problem just started today for some unknown reason. I have Adobe Reader 9 and never had a problem before. If I forward e-mails with a pdf attachment to my Road Runner account, I can open it with no problem. I can't seem to find any answers to this problem. Frustrating! HELP!!!

Which version doesn't produce this error: "there was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired"?

This error message occasionally occurs with Acrobat 5 on XP 2. However the same files can be opened with Acrobat 6.0.4 on Win98(se2).
"There was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired."
I'd like ot upgrade 5 on my XP system, but have read many posts complaining about the same error with newer versions.
Is there a version that never produces this error on files that aren't actually damaged? And has anyone figured out what produces this error? (The posts I've seen suggest solutions that don't seem to work.)
Thanks.
Ellen

Thanks, Prasanth.
I've read posts about this problem happening on all versions, and wanted to see if it was least likely to happen in one version.
I just need the basic function - the ability to read a pdf file.
Of course, it seems to be a problem only for some, and there's no way of knowing the extent, so I will try an upgrade or two.

How to deal with "There was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and could not be"

Hello, everyone:
I open one pdf document with Adobe Reader 9.3, but it appeared that "There was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and could not be repaired".. and I found that another several pdf document in the same folder that I have not opened for a long time is also "damaged and could not be repaired".
But in the same folder, other documents of different types are ok, does that mean there is something wrong with my hard drive?
Has anyone else run into this issue or have any suggestions?
Thank you very much

It could be that the directory is damaged. It could be that at one time you had a virus that did damage, it is hard to say. Do you have a good backup?

Acrobat 11 there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired

we are receiving an error when opening certain pdfs saying "there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired"
i've tried a few things to fix this issue with no luck
tried on a brand new windows 7 install without any added software like anti-virus software, etc
tried on my home pc (I forwarded the document from my work pc to my home pc and still receiving the same error)
don't think it's anything related to the computers, thinking it's more an issue with the pdf. i've tried the basics like deleting temp files from IE, going to %temp% and deleting that out, doing an acrobat repair, trying in reader instead of acrobat, updating users from acrobat 10 to 11, and still receiving the same issue. the odd thing is, some people can open this document and some receive the error. the other thing is i've tried alternative pdf programs with no avail, same errors from those as well
i work on the helpdesk with one other person for the company and not sure what else we can try
don't think this is a pc issue - tried on pcs in the company, home pcs, personal pcs and all get this error
got to be an issue with either the pdf, or the way its being sent
i did reach out to OUR e-mail team here (lotus notes admin) and they've ruled out anything as far as an encryption causing the conflict may go, so notes isn't the issue either
would it be possible it's on the persons end that's sending the file?

Probably because you aren't writing the last byte read every time through the while loop.

"Not connected to internet" error only when uploading large files.

Hi,
I have a strange problem that occurs when im uploading large files to any of my servers....
The files upload just fine but while im uploading im unable to use the internet for anything else. For example if I try to open a web page I get an error saying im not connected to the internet. This error will persist until the file finishes uploading.
Its a strange and annoying problem and was wondering if anybody could throw any light on the problem.
I cant be sure but it may have coincided with me connecting a new Netgear wireless modem router.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Sorry, only just noticed your reply. Didn't get an email alert like I usually do.
Thanks for that. To be honest I have no idea what QOS is but I will take a look at the routers settings to see if it makes sense to me.
Thanks
Matt

I take it your are trying to use a csv file to insert new data into a database, using flex and coldfusion?
if so, then I would load the file in flex using cffile in ColdFusion and then use Load Data if you are using MySQL
This can show you more about it.

We get very large csv files ftp'd to us every week, and we have to load them in to the db. this works for us.

"There was an error opening the pdf. File cannot be found" Message

I am creating an Adobe PDF file using Save As in FrameMaker 7.0. (I have Acrobat Standard 8). The PDF creates fine, but I used to get the pdf to immediately/automatically open. Now I get the message "There was an error opening the pdf..."
I did select the option to automatically open the pdf in File > Preferences but it doesnt do it, Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Beth

Hi John Paul,
Do you get any error code associated with this error message.
Does this happen with other pdf files too or with that specific pdf?
In case it happens with that specific pdf, please get another copy of that pdf because the current copy might have got corrupted.

Error Raised while uploading Excel file to SAP

Hi All,
I am getting error while uploading excel file into SAP using the function module 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'.
Error Message is UX(893) - 'Excel file & cannot be processed' .
Please let me know what went wrong.
Regards,
Deepthi

Hi,
1 .TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP Funtion module will work if you have installed Microsoft Excel at front end.
2. Whenyou declare internal table for upload, specify the char only in the strcture ,don't specify any data element or dictionary reference.    If the data element and dictionaly reference is character field then its ok.
eg.
types:begin of st_data,
           field1 type char15,
           field2 type char23,
          endif.
3. Close the excel before you upload
Hope this might solve your issue.
