Error opening shared PDF

I share PDF files through a secure web application and sporadically encounter this error message when attempting to open/download the shared PDF:
I'm the owner of the original files and can open those with no problem. It's only when I save the file to the web application and then try to download the file from the web app that I encounter this error. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks Pat. Unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to compare the files. Once the file has been uploaded to the web app and its available for download, I hit the error before I have a chance to do any comparison. Do you think the problems lies within the web app itself, for instance, how it uploads files?

"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.

Doesn't it automatically save as a .pdf file? That's what I get using IE9.

Error Opening Adobe PDF Files

Hi...
I have suddenly had an error appear whe opening most PDF files - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Subsequently I'm unble to open these files. I'm on a Mac platform with OS X 10.8 and am using Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.4.
The files are mainly downloaded / saved to my desktop through Safari. These are PDF files that I've previously been able to open but all of a sudden can't.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! ...thanks!!

Thanks for offering your assistance with this one mate... I appreciate it!
As requested, this is the first part of one of the files that won't open, as seen in Text Edit:

The rest of it is prety much gobbly **** and ASCI stuff - the kind of stuff that get's me stumped!
Just another discovery with this problem - I've discovered something interesting with my mobile phone bill, which I view as a PDF file in a safari window on my phone provider's website. I right clicked on the phone bill displayed in the Safari and used 'save as' to save a copy of this to my desktop so I could later open in Acrobat Pro and print, as I always do, however when I go to open that file from my desktop, the error occurs and can't open. HOWEVER - I discovered an option through the phone company website to open the file in 'Acrobat' within a Safari window, which I did. It adds Acrobat toolbar menu etc within the Safari screen and displays bill in PDF format as if in Acrobat. I then saved a copy of the file from this view on my desktop, and now That One I can Open! There is anoter distinct difference too - the unopenable files display on my desktop as the 'PDF icon' and the one of the phone bill that I can open displays as a 'Preview Icon' (as they all should).
Hope this all makes sense and may point to something further?
Once again - thanks for the help!

I have an error opening a pdf document

Everytime I try to open a pdf document while I am online, I just get a little black box with an x in it. My adobe is installed correctly and it is up to date. What do I need to do to fix it? Thanks for the help

Is there anything in here that helps: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html ?
If not, tell us your operating system, your browser, your Reader version.

Error opening Adobe PDF in Illustrator

I'm getting the following message when I try to open a specific Adobe PDF file in Illustrator: "Could not open the file"
The details:
- I created the file yesterday in Illustrator and saved is as an Adobe PDF
- I opened the PDF in Illustrator this morning and have been working on it all day. The file started getting slow (i.e., objects moving slowly), so I saved the file and closed out. When I tried opening the file again in Illustrator, I got the message above.
- Other PDF files will open in Illustrator. The file itself will open in Adobe PDF and in Photoshop - just not in Illustrator. I also tried opening the file in Illustrator on a different computer, and that didn't work, either.
Is there any way to save this file (i.e., preserve all of the layers) and open it in Illustrator again?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Monika,
Thanks for getting back to me. What do you mean by "save to networked or
removable media"? I'm working off a networked computer, but I'm saving to
the desktop, so I don't think that should be an issue, right?
Any ideas about what could have damaged the file? I can't think of anything
strange or different that I did. Is there any way at all to salvage the
file and be able to open it in Illustrator?
Thanks so much for your help,
Amanda

Error openning a .pdf document

When I try to open a .pdf document, it opens in a blank window and i get a window which and says insufficient data for an image. Can u please help me? I got more than two months at this point.
My OS is Windows 7 and my Adobe Reader Version is 9. The files i try open are on Intranet application.

"the path does not exist" error opening shared adobe files on XP machine

We recently upgraded a mac mini from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.X) we updated to the most recent 10.5.
We have an office with 3 macs and 1 XP.
All users connect to the Mac Mini via SMB sharing.
Everyone Authenticates as the same admin user.
*The XP machine can open and save all file types EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files.*
They are using CS3.
The mac and XP users could open save and share all files prior to the leopard update.
We used the "Archive and Install" option to upgrade to leopard.
The shared files had the "unknown Group" error which we solved by adding them to the ADMIN group. This step changed the error message the the XP user was receiving.
I have tried many networking fixes, including group policy on windows, turning off IPv6 on the Mini, but we cannot open or save files directly from Illustrator.
When the file
We can move files to the XP desktop then open and save. Files saved on the XP machine can be moved back to the mini and opened directly by all of the Mac users.
Any guesses why this might be occurring?

There are actually two separate error messages received by the windows user when trying to open files off of the Mini.
"the path does not exist" and "this file cannot be found".
This happens when we navigate directly to the file with windows explorer.

Hi Ajith !!
Please refer this link :
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/rep_spooltopdf.htm
Here a spool output is converted into PDF and then sent as an email.
I think instead of using FM to change the width, try the logic mentioned in the link.
Also instead of FM CONVERT_TO_OTF use :
1. CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
I hope this should solve the problem.
I had referred the same program from the link and it worked absolutely fine. Also check the adobe acrobat version, i guess old version doesnt support SAP, though not very sure.
Best regards,
Prashant

Error Opening Adobe PDF created with Xcelsius 2008

I am using an SAP Product - Xcelsius 2008 to create a dashboard that I exported to PDF. The document essentially contains a Flash SWF file embedded in the PDF. I can open it up fine with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Some of my colleagues can open it up using Adobe Reader. Many recipients who have a older version of Adobe Acrobat get an error stating: "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version o four Acrobat products. Please visit our product site at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat." My question is, is there a way to resave the PDF file as an older, more compatible version for people who have Acrobat 8 or earlier versions?
Troy

Version 8 should work, but not earlier, since they did not have an internal flash player.

Error Opening Created PDF

My Grandson is filling out a PDF template provided by the BoyScouts of America (BSA) and has run into a problem when trying to open a document that he's been working on for weeks. He's using Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3
The message that he's receiving is "This document enabled extended features in ADOBE Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author of this document. (He is the author - Been updating the PDF for weeks)
He responds to continue and notices that some pages are missing. While scrolling down in the document he receives a second error which states
An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created this document to correct the problem (He is the author - Been updating the PDF for weeks)
The error states "The font GXAPFY+Helveticalnuev - Bbold contains a bad /BBox).
He can reply continue and page down. Lots of pages missing / lots of stuff messed up.
What is the solution?
Thanks from my Grandson - "A Future Eagle Scout"

Version 8 should work, but not earlier, since they did not have an internal flash player.

Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
"An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
Please help.

The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.
You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

I/O error opening a pdf file with form fields, using itextsharp

Hi,
I'm using itextsharp PDFStamper to set the form fields in a pdf file. It works on my computer properly, but on the QA site and other developer's machine it only shows the values of the form fields, the original text does not show, and it gives the error message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly". Please does any one know what's causing this error and how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Uyi

I recommend you try tech support for the iTextSharp product (I believe
there is a mailing list). This forum is for questions about
understanding the PDF Specifications. You could try an Acrobat forum,
but I think the first option has a better chance of success.
