How can I open a file with an SPD file extension?

Hi
I have started a course for which I have received some literature in pdf format. I have made hand written annotations to a pdf file using my Samsung Note tablet, which I have then put into Dropbox, with the intention of storing on my IMAC.
I then tried to open this file on my IMAC but received a message that Adobe Reader couldn't open it as the file was not supported, or might have been damaged.
Any ideas on how I might be able to get around this problem?
Do I need something other than "Reader"?
Comments will be very gratefully received by this novice user
regards

"not supported, or might have been damaged."
That's key. If you're using Safari to download PDFs, it can do this.
Trash the SPD file. It can't be repaired.
Download the Adobe Reader FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG to your downloads folder.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
Empty the trash.
Download AppZapper (it's a free trial) and install it.
Launch AppZapper, and drag the Adobe Reader app to the window.
"Zap" it and anything else in the window to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Install Reader from the downloaded DMG and re-download the SPD file.

  • How can I open items made with apple works

    How can I open items made with apple works

    You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
    I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

  • How can i open a attachment with the fileextension .note sent from an Ipad

    A friend of mine sent me an email from his Ipad with an attachment which has the extension .note. How can I open this file on my Mac?

    It appears that this extension is related to the ipad app 'notability'. It would have to be exported as a pdf or rtf file to be opened.
    You can do some googling, but might be better if the sender converts the file to something more common and sends again.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • How can I open Elements 8 with "Open with dialog" in Windows XP?

    When I try to open a photo from My Pictures using the Open with dialog (when I click on Register) I get a message"Specified file is missing! No changes were made"   Photoshop Elements 8 is installed and working. For some reason Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 no longer appears on the list of programs in the Windows Open With dialog. How can I add Adobe Elements 8 to the Open With dialog?  There are programs listed that I do not use. Is there a way to delete or add programs to the Open With dialog?

    I couldn't get this to work for some reason. I solved the problem by
    downloading
    OpenWithAdd_1.2.zip.   This adds the program to the "Open with dialog"
    The procedure is:
    Download OpenWithAdd.zip and run it. Locate the application that you
    want to add to the Open With dialog.
    Type the command-line parameter (if the application requires one) in the
    appropriate text field. And optionally, you can give a personalized name
    for the application which you're trying to add to Open With. This text
    will appear in the Open With dialog, describing the application.
    Once done, click Register.
    Your application is now added to the list.

  • How can I fix this problem with exporting Pages files?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with exporting Pages files to Word or PDF (I haven't tried the other formats). Whenever I try to export the Page file, I get one message like this: "The document "XXXXXXX" could not be exported as "YYYYYYY". This problem started after the last Pages update, before that it was working fine. I restarted the computer, updated the OS, but the problem hasn't been solved.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards,
    Filipe

    Computers are made of parts made by humans and assembled by humans of materials that are not perfect.
    For example, a display cable that was accidentally pinched during assembly would pass quality control testing with flying colors and would not fail until the lid had been opened and closed several times.
    Likewise a display might not fail until powered on and off a few hundred times.

    Use UTL_MAIL instead.That package is an utter disappointment - and an excellent example IMO of how not to design an application programming interface. Even the source code is shoddy.. I mean, having to resort to a GOTO statement....!!?? The person(s) who wrote that package are sorely lacking in even the most basic of programming skills if structured programming is ignored and a spaghetti command used instead.
    No wonder the public interface of that code is equally shabby and thoughtless... The mail demo code posted by Oracle was better written than this "+package+" they now have bundled as the official Mail API.
    I dunno.. if I was in product management there would have been hell to pay over pushing cr@p like that to customers.

  • How can I reconnect my songs with actual media files

    After re-importing my 25,000 songs to Media folderthey show up as 'missing' [!] in iTunes browser. The files are there, but the browser can't 'find' them. I realize I could do this manually but with the size of my library that is a no go.
    I've tried to use Song Sergeant but it refuses to work "with MY system", as their support person told me!!
    Thanks

    Transfer your purchases before syncing:
    iTunes menu > Devices > Tansfer Purchases
    You won't lose any songs (and nothing will get loose in your phone)

  • How can I open the ports with the Airport Extreme?

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a cable modem and I want to open the ports for the two Playstation 3's I connected to the Airport Extreme via Cat 6 ethernet cable. The first Playstation 3 will be used to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and the other Playstation 3 will be used to watch streaming movie from Netflix. Does anyone know if this can be done?

    It is documented on Page 54 of Apple's "Designing
    AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility Mac OS X v10.5 + Windows" (direct PDF download link).
    The public port and private port would be set the same value.
