Error opening the portable document file document. error code = 0x4000000c

I have been getting this error message when I try to open a .pdf that was created in Word. I have searched for this error code and nothing comes up.
The file was created from a Word newsletter template. I had no problem opening this in PS before I updated my Adobe Acrobat Pro. The file CAN be opened in Acrobat however.
Any advice as to what this code means and why I can't opne the file anymore?
thanks,
Lisa

Thanks for the reply, Chris. In this case I can switch the project over to InDesign, but writing out a Word file to PDF is a pretty common thing to do, so I hope they eventually have time to fix it for those of us having the problem.
I understand updating for the upgrade, but not everyone can afford to upgrade to a new set of CS software every time a new version is released. At work is one thing, but I can't justify it for my personal copy. And I know you didn't mean it that way, but I hope that Adobe doesn't forget about its CS3 users just because CS4 is the latest version. The Creative Suite is a pretty expensive piece of software to buy to quickly become old and not worthy of bug fixes.
Thanks for forwarding my file along though.
Have a good afternoon,
Debbie

"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.

Why when I open the output.txt file, is strange code there, not 3.1

i almost copy the example from "think in java book" chapter 11
however, the result "output.txt file" when opened by notepad of windows xp, always only very strange code inside, not what i want
do i need open the file, before i want to write?
or i use a wrong api again?
or the java code norm is very difference from ms windows?
thanks
import java.util.Random;
import java.io.*;
class CreatRandomFile
     public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
          File fileOutput=new File("output.txt");
          DataOutputStream out2=
               new DataOutputStream(
                    new BufferedOutputStream(
                         new FileOutputStream(fileOutput)));
          out2.writeDouble(3.1);
          out2.close();
     }//end main
}//end class

There are basically two ways of IO:
a) human readable format;
b) machine readable format;
What you've just done is writing a double value in machine readable
format to a file. Some folks call it 'binary format'. I bet your file is eight
byes long. A DataOutputStream writes data in machine readable
format. You need a PrintStream instead if you (a being human I suppose)
want to be able to read the contents of that file.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

Error with Adobe Acrobat X "error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not recover"

Good morning,
I have a problem when generating PDF files with Adobe Acrobat X.
When I give print a Word document 2003 ... 2007 ... 2010 ... and select a network drive to save the PDF file, I get the following error "error opening the document. Thefile is damaged and not could recover."
The file is saved on your drive well ... but I always get this error.
Any ideas???
Thank you.

First of all thanks for responding.
The installed version of Adobe's Adobe OS X and Windows XP machines is thelatest patch level.
The local system .... works well ... Open Office 2010 ... create a new Word document and save it locally ... and all good.
The problem is though that same machine ... it enters network (not Windows network. OES2 is a network with Novell network client) ... and to open and create a new document to WORD .... when printing the PDF printer ... select a network drive... and when the document is saved well ... but it shows the error.
I have an amount of hours lost with this ... I hope you can help me find a solution.
Thank you very much.

Help please I can not openening because: Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the file while printing another document

Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document

Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is inc

I have two machines, both with the latest version of Adobe reader installed. I have received an email which contains 2 .pdf file attachments - the file names are in Russian Font (Cryllic)
PC 1 opens these docs fine - I double click the file name and the document opens as usual.
PC 2 comes up with the following error message "There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" - Though if I save the files to my machine and then rename them using English fonts - they open up without any problems.
Both machines are XP SP2 - any ideas why one machine will open the files fine, but the other one has problems?
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Benny

Hi I have same thing!
Please write if u find solution.

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,

Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.

We have BW 7.0 and Data services 12.1. We are scheduling a Infopackage in BW that triggers a job in Dataservices server.
We had checked the connection between Dataservices source system in BW and RFC server on Dataservices side and these connections are good. on the 3rd party sellections tab in infopackage we specify the batch file name that we exported in Dataservices server. When we execute the infopackage we get the following error.
Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.
This error started occuring from yesterday and prior to that it was working fine. We are not understanding what changed in the system to cause this error.
Can anyone suggest any solutions for the above issue.
Thanks,
Naveen.

I'm not sure what the root cause would be here. Is the file still available ? Did file permissions change ? ...
But I wanted to point your attention to the fact that in Data Services/Data Integrator XI 3.2 (=12.2) we significantly enhanced the integration with BW. In XI 3.2, the RFC server is now integrated into the Data Services Management Console (so no need to start as a seperate executable) and you can start jobs from BW by just specifting the job's name in the repo (no need anymore to export execution commands to .bat files). So if upgrading to XI 3.2 is an option, things should go much smoother.

HT3945 I get an "error opening the database for the library"/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". What do I do Now?

I have updated my Aperture 3 and when I try to open it I get an error message; error opening the databese for the library"Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". I have tried the Command/Option keys to get past the error but I can't. Does anyone have a recommendation or document to help me get Aperture working again? Thanks.

I have tried the Command/Option keys to get past the error but I can't.
Did you try the "Command/Option keys" when you were launching Aperture? Then try again, by holding down "Command/Option" while double clicking your library in the Pictures folder.
If this does not succeed, have a look at the permissions of your library package in the "Get Info" panel: select the Aperture Library package in the Finder and press cmd-I. If you see that you do not have read/write permissions, correct that and select the option to apply these permissions to the enclosed items.
If you still cannot open the library, launch Aperture with the "options-key" hold down and select to create a new Aperture Library from the pop-up menu. Hopefully this will enable you to launch Aperture again. Then try to import your old library into the new, empty library by using the "File -> Import -> Library/Project" menu command. If your library is large, this could take a long time, however.
Post back, if you this does not solve the problem.

"There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Apert"

Hey everyone,
There's already another discussion thread about this at the link below, but the problem was never actually resolved. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343014&tstart=0&messageID=116 67261#11667261
So I stumbled across this problem where Aperture 3 will display the following error when opening the image library.
There was an error opening the database for the library “~[path]/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
One user suggested navigating to the actual library, and ⌘⌥-clicking the library to open it with the Aperture Library First Aid dialog. This however, did not work for me. I still received the error messages upon ⌘⌥-clicking the library.
Here's a little hack I discovered for those of you still struggling. It doesn't fix the problem (leaves quite a large dent remaining actually), but hopefully someone can cultivate what little I discovered.
⌥-click Aperture (not the library)
You should get to the library selection dialog box. Create a new library (bottom right corner) and remember the location of the new library. Put a few random pictures in the new one.
Close Aperture
⌃-click both the old and new libraries and "Show Package Contents."
Open the folder "Database" in both libraries.
Cross check the folders to see if the old library is missing files that are in the new library. If your old library is missing some files (mine was), drag the missing files from the new library to the old one.
Close both folders.
⌘⌥-click the old library.
NOW, I got the Aperture Library First Aid dialog.
Rebuild the library (3rd option)
Wait a while.
Aperture should open up with a folder named "Recovered Folder." Within this folder will be a SINGLE project named "Recovered Project" with ALL the images from your old library. There may be a few albums there too, but mine were all empty so it didn't matter in my case. To my knowledge, I lost all the adjustments I performed too.
This is as far as I got. I have much of my library backed up, so I only needed to copy the most recent photos into the backup. I am NOT reorganizing and re-editing pictures in this one!
As Aperture is a photo-organizing and photo-editing software, I understand that this by no means fixes the problem, since you lose all organization and editing. But it enables one to at least view the images lost. Hopefully a more knowledgable hacker else can figure out how to fix this completely. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time to continue messing with this.
Good luck to anyone else having issues! I understand the frustration you must be facing, its freaky having years worth of images simply disappear! After this incident, I'm definitely going to configure Time Machine to perform more frequent backups, since my latest backup was already a couple weeks old.

Hey All,
To my horror I have a similar problem and your solution didn't seem to help. To be specific, I get the error:
"There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library_2.aplibrary" Everytime I try to run Aperture. This happened because my Apple computer shut off completely (due to bad battery) while importing photos from a memory card.
I've tried "option + command" while clicking the aperture application and that gave me the same error message without any other option except to quit the program. I tried "option + command" and clicked the library package but that didn't work either. I tried creating a new aperture library, opening it which I did successfully, and then switching to my main one but that didn't work.
Does anyone know away to get it to work again and have the edits still there?
I'm a professional photographer and have thousands of photos or so in the library so this is distressing. The master files for the photos are located on an external hard drive, but I'm not sure how to access them in aperture. Are all the edits on the photographs are in the external hard drive or the aperture library. Is there any other way to resolve this issue without losing the edits?
Does apple have a support number I can call? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
