Fail to open PDF file. Error for trying to paste in object.

So occasionaly, i will paste in a PDF into my InDesign document and this error will pop up, Fail to open PDF file.  It's not like im opening
the file im just trying to paste it in.  I try other pdf files and the same error comes up.  Usually this error does not happen when i am pasting in
PDF's into my document but when one error comes up, no PDF's will work.  I have to resave my file into another format and then it will work.
What is up with these errors that happen sometimes?
CS5 ID 7.0.3
P.C.

Try it again...this time click the show options check box in the place dialog.

  • Failed to open pdf files

    Hi,
    I guess since the latest os/safari upgrade, the application has failed to open pdf files on several occasions. It's one of those files that you have to download then I guess the safari or adobe reader opens it... The beach ball keeps spinning and safari has to be force quit. I have the latest safari and adobe reader.
    Can someone please help, thanks.

    Why not let Safari/Preview handle your PDF files? Tiger offers this alternative. To do so, remove the Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-in folder (may be in either your Main or User Library folder). When Safari encounters a PDF file, it will then automatically open the file in Safari using Previews PDF format.
    Another alternative (which includes removing the Adobe plug-in) is to use PDF Browser Plug-in. This plug-in is freeware for private use.

  • "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer.  I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
    Extraction Failed
    Cannot Open Output File
    And the process closes.  It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
    Any idea why?  I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support??  Poor, poor customer service.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    If you haven't still got the  Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop.  If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
    Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
    Download and install 7-ZIP.  Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
    Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ).  Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
    Hope this helps.
    Best wishes,

  • Acrobat XI suddenly fails to open PDF files

    I have installed Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 7 computer. It has worked perfectly well for several weeks but from shutting down the computer last Thursday and starting this morning, I am unable to open any PDF files or open the Acrobat application. Creating PDF files from other applications such as Office still works but I cannot open these files nor any others to view them. No other changes were made to the system between working and failure. I have tried a repair from the disk and a re-install following an Adobe clean but nothing has changed. I wonder if this is anything to do with the expiry of the trial period which is how I originally installed XI before I purchased a disk with serial number.

    Hi elyP,
    The expiry of the trial has nothing to do with this as you can simply enter the purchased serial number to convert the trial into full version.
    Is Acrobat updated to the latest patch v11.0.09?
    Do you get any errors when you try to open a pdf?
    Regards,
    Rave

  • New PC, not opening PDF files, Error not connecting to DDE server. Help

    I purchase a new Windos 8 CP. Its not opening my PDF files.  The error message is "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server".  Windows 8 is new to me.

    It's "regedit" - a tool to edit the Windows registry.  But I don't recommend using it if you have no knowledge of it.
    However, there is a minor registry change that may fix your problem; we can do it with a little reg script.  Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script.

    After setting system language to English, be sure to restart SQL Dev to retry the test.
    Make sure you have the latest patches installed.
    Go to menu: Help-> About. In the About dialog, select the Extensions tab and check if you have Data Miner version 11.2.0.2.04.40. If not, go to menu Help->Check for Updates, and install the SQL Developer and Data Miner patches.

  • What program should i use to open pdf files, documents for email attachments. Adobe is not working

    I can not open any email attachments-large or small. I had adobe and switched to internet explorer.  I do not have any other choices on my computer to pick from other than word pad and it opened the attachment but was not readable. 

    Please download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the following weblink that will help you to open and read all the PDF files:

  • Preview fails to open PDF files in Safari

    Can anyone tell me why Preview will not now open PDFfiles inside Safari? I used to have Adobe PDF installed to open all PDF files but I have since removed it in preference to Preview. Preview opens all other PDF files just fine but it seems unable to work with Safari... weird!

    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-ins and remove anything that ends in pdf

  • Acrobat Pro X fails to open PDF files after new install

    Hi
    We have installed Adobe Design Premium CS5.5 and the issue we have is that when you try to open a PDF document directly nothing happens, the egg times displays for 1-2 seconds then disapears. We have to open Acrobat Pro from the start menu and let it open, then close it again, when we then try again to open a PDF document directly it now opens.
    Why wont Adobe open the document directly without having to open the program first?
    We are a school and have Adobe Design Premium installed on 500 computers.
    Thanks

    Usually related to file associations in Windows. Right click on the PDF and select the Open With option and select Acrobat. Be sure to check "always open with."

  • Failed to open PDF file when placing a PDF in Indesign CS5

    I am also having an issue when I am able to place the PDF that the bleed isn't showing up and the crops aren't either

    The failure dialog usually means the import options are set to crop to one of the options that isn't defined for that particular file, and changing the crop options to one that isn't grayed out should work. To show bleed and marks, first they must be present in the PDF, and second your choice of crop option must be large enough to include them. Media would be my choice for that.

  • After Effects CS3 error: file not found -43 and TIFFIO failed to open the file

    Hello
    I am experiencing a problem with AE CS3.
    I have several TIFF sequences (with alphas) that are giving me a headache. When I import them into AE, I get an "AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: Failed to open the file" error.
    I researched the forums and found that this could be related to odd formatting of the source media (my TIFF sequence). I created these TIFFs in Maya 2008 and I have imported other sequences made with Maya into AE with no issues.
    Just to be sure, I created a Photoshop droplet that re-saved my TIFFs as Photoshop TIFFs with the same names.
    I re-imported the new Photoshop TIFF sequences (still with alphas) into AE CS3, and I get the same error.
    Any ideas? I don't know what to do next.
    Thanks,
    -------------S

    Your USB drive may have had a weird character in it's name.
    AE can't read CMYK images, that is usually the problem.
    Imported images do not have to conform to any specific sizes (unless you want to go over 30,000 x 30,000 pixels.)
