Hi all - Am receiving the "bad parameter" error when trying to save a PDF w/ Reader 10.1.0

I've read through various topics and many point to the source of the PDF, but using other versions of Reader.
Other users - not using version 10.1.0 - but previous version, do not have this problem.
I am not sure if the client is able to download and install another version of Reader, as their network is locked down.
Any tips or suggestions?
OS = Win7.

Pls try updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 10.1.4 and see if it solves your problem. The new version has lots of fixes which may solve your issue.

"The file is damaged and could not be repaired" error when trying to open a PDF in Reader

A few of our employess (only 3 out of over 100 so far) have been getting the error, "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when trying to open some PDFs. Other people are able to open the same PDF files with no error. It's happening on about 10% of the time. I've read a bunch of threads here with this isue and tried some suggested fixes and nothing has resolved the issue. Here is what I have found works and does not work and the info on their computers:
Computers:
1 Dell Vostro desktop running WIndows 7
1 Toshiba Satellite C55 runnign Windows 8
1 Samsung ATIV Book 4 running Windows 8
All using Adobe Reader XI but we did uninstall that version and tried previous versions and still got the error.
Did Not Work:
As suggested by the company that we use online for claims adjustments where this error is occuring, we tried using a different PDF creator since the files were created using a free PDF creator by the employees. PDF995 and PDFcreator (pdfforge) did not resolve the issue. I then created the PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat, uploaded from my computer to the online program, and that did not resolve the issue.
Saving the file to hard drive and then opening in Adobe did not work.
Turning off Protected Mode and Enhanced Security did not work.
Compatibility View settings enabled in Internet Explorer 10 did not resolve the issue. The previously mentioned claims adjustment software company we use online was code for IE so is not fully compatible with other browsers.
That being said I did try to open the PDF files in Chrome and it also did not work. Same error message.
Does work:
I download the file they cannot open onto my hard drive, open in Adobe Acrobat, Save as a pdf, then email it to them and they can open it via email attachment.
If they close the error and continue trying to open the file over and over sometimes it will eventually open.
Is there a setting in Windows that is preventing them from opening a small % of files some of the time? Thanks in advance for any help!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

Error when trying to save/apply in OAM Console (credential store / wallet)

So our Admin WLS had accidentally been started as root previously, so we restarted as oracle (after chown -R oracle:oinstall all files), and the Admin Server starts up ok. However, when attempting to save/apply a change within the OAM console, we receive the following error:
Error in creating the credential store (wallet) : JPS-01047: Cannot persist the wallet. Reason java.io.IOException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/pki_data1951273487.lck.tmp (Permission denied).
And in the log files this also appears:
<Mar 29, 2013 2:27:01 PM CDT> <Warning> <oracle.jps.idmgmt> <JPS-01520> <Cannot initialize identity store.>
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.security.jps.service.idstore.IdentityStoreException: JP-01520: Cannot initialize identity store.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We are using JBoss 3.2.5.
Weirdly, last week a collegue of mine was able to save the registry changes. This week, both of us get the 'System error' when trying to save changes. Even using a default Administrator account, we were unable to save changes.
Is there any other way apart from the LiveCycle web UI to change the registry settings without having to re-install the server? Where are these values stored?

How do i fix this?

I had the same issue, as suggested by others on similar question I checked my permissions and they were fine.
This worked for me
1) First saved the photos from my current Photo Booth library
2) Deleted the photo booth library folder
3) Created a new admin user
4) Copy the photo booth library from the new user and paste it in your user (where the previous photo booth library was)
5) You can then delete the new user you created.

Error when trying to save a file

I get this error when trying to save any file (newly created or not) word document in MS word 2010:"You are attempting to save a file type (plain text files) that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center".
I followed the directions given by the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922850, but I am still having this issue. I can still save files as PDF but not in any kind of word format.
I also tried opening another file copy and pasting under a different name and it doesn't help.
Please Help.
Bruce

Please try the following methods:
Using Administrative Template files and the Office Customization Tool to disable the restriction

Error when trying to save a fillable form?

Hi,
My staff is getting an error when trying to save information that was typed in a fillable form. They are able to print but cannot save. The error message they are getting is: "Cannot Save Form Information Please note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it." They have also gotten the message: "Save a Blank Copy of this Form Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
This form was created in LiveCycle ES4. I have Adobe XI on my computer and I am able to save the form fine. My staff has Adobe 9 on their computer. Is there anything I can do so that they will be able to save the form on their computer once they have finished filling it out?

Gilad D (try67) wrote:
Mac users can fill in LCD forms just fine, they just can't create them.
And you can fill in and save an LCD form in Reader, if it has the appropriate rights applied to it in Acrobat before-hand.
I thought The latest Reader XI (regardless of Platform) had the ability Print and save with or, without reader rights. That what I've been reading on this forum ever since reader XI came out.

'System Error' when trying to save Form Manager Registry Settings

Hi,
trying to save changes made in the form manager registry settings [Home > Services > Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager > Registry Settings (http://localhost:8080/FormManagerAdmin/registry-cfg-load)], I get an error, which reads:
> System Error
>
The request could not be processed. Please retry the operation. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Has anyone had this error as well?
The system runs fine apart from the jboss log files being crammed with the well-known and pretty annoying
SpyJMSException.
Does anyone have an idea how to apply changes to the form manager registry settings, if the web ui does not work? Where are the 'form manager registry settings' being stored? Maybe I succeed in changing the settings manually at least without having to re-install Livecycle...
Regards,
Steve

Please help. Keep getting a conversion error when trying to convert a PDF to a .docx. Advice?

Sara,
Please see my answers in bold below.
What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache, or using a different browser. N/A
Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website. Within Reader.I disabled the OCR and this did not work either. Try converting from within Reader, and disable OCR as detailed in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Are you on a networked computer? Make sure that there aren't any firewall/proxy settings that are preventing you from uploading files to the Internet. Not having problems uploading the file--that works fine.
Make sure the file is within the file-size limit of 100 MB. It is <40.
I get the error message, "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online."
Thanks for your help in advance.

Unrecognized database format error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader?

I get an "Unrecognized database format" error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader so I can use Pro to edit a pdf document? What do I do so that teh ACCESS program aI am generating PDF's from uses Pro and not Reader?
Thanks,
Dan

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Professional are 2 different products. Reader is for free and limited as to what it can do an support.
Add-ins can only use features supported by Reader.
You need Acrobat to edit PDF forms. Acrobat no longer supports access to SQL databases through Acrobat JavaScript.
If you have an add-in and Acrobat can use it for filling a PDF form from Access, you need to talk to the developer to see if it can work with Reader.

I keep receiving security errors when trying to open a pdf.

I keep receiving a security error when trying to run my javascript program, the function previously worked, but now creates an error after I entered the addWaterMark function. I have put my whole code below for my script.
The basic function is to load a text file into an array which has the path and file location, open the document, add a watermark, save the file, close the file, then repeat for the next array position.
I am using Acrobat Standard so I am unable to debug using the console, therefore I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. I will point out that I am not a fluent programmer, only have a basic knowledge of programming.
Code
app.addSubMenu(
cName:"Extras",
cParent:"Edit"
app.addMenuItem(
cName:"Import File",
cParent:"Extras",
cExec:"main()"
function main()
var fileCount = 0
var listOfFiles = []
listOfFiles = importData()
amountOfFiles = listOfFiles.length
for (var i =0; i<listOfFiles.length; i++) //calculates amount of entries in the array listOfFiles
newFile = openFile(listOfFiles[i]) //Opens current file
var d = app.activeDocs; //Gets current document title name
addWater(d[0]);
app.execMenuItem("Save");
for( var x in d ) d[x].closeDoc();
function addWater(myName)
{ app.alert("watermark",0);
myName.addWatermarkFromText(
cText: "OBSOLETE",
cFont: "Arial",
nFontSize:36,
aColor: color.red,
nOpacity: 0.5
//function SaveFile saves the current file but with an addition of WM to the filename
saveFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentDoc, currentFileName)
{ app.alert("savefile",0);
app.beginPriv();
currentDoc.saveAs(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//function openFile which opens the file named in the variable currentFilename
openFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentFileName)
{app.alert("openfile" + currentFileName,0);
app.beginPriv();
app.openDoc(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//importData function imports the paths and filenames contained in the list.txt located on the desktop
importData = app.trustedFunction(function()
{app.alert("import",0);
app.beginPriv();
cFilePath = "/C/Users/103019944/Desktop/File_List.txt";
var stmData = util.readFileIntoStream(cFilePath);
var cData = util.stringFromStream(stmData);
var cMsg = cData;
var fileArray = cMsg.split("\r\n");
for (var i =0; i<fileArray.length; i++)
return(fileArray);
app.endPriv();

I have found the error, you are quite correct I had an extra letter in the filename, I thought I'd checked this but just shows that sattention to detail is the key.
The script works perfectly now, thanks you for your help, really appreciated.
Thanks again
Ben

Getting bad host error when trying to deploy simple web sample application

hi,
Can someone tell me why I'm getting this error when trying to deploy the simple web application from samples
This is what it said:
deploy_common:
[echo] Deploying ../assemble/war/webapps-simple.war.
[exec] java.net.MalformedURLException: Bad host: station_1
thanks

Hi,
Another update on this issue.
To remove the error that we were getting (java.lang.LinkageError: Class javax/xml/transform/Source violates loader constraints), we tried some searching around and found out that the way to fix it is to provide correct versions of xalan.jar, xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar. We downloaded the required version from the apache site and added it to our WEB-INF/lib folder in the WAR file.
Now, we are getting this error:
XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the XPathFactoryConfigurationException: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFctory implementation found for the object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom
What else we might be missing in our libs or do we need to check some other configurations?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gaurav
