How to check a PDF file for errors?

I have created a PDF file manually. Adobe Reader shows an error message "The file is damaged but is being repaired." when I try to open this file.
How can I check, what is wrong with this file? Is there any checker or some way to examine the file and find an error line?

As of late 2009, there now IS a server-based PDF file checker.  It's called pdfHarmony, and it uses the Adobe PDF Library to open and check PDF files, reporting the warnings and error messages that an Adobe Reader user would encounter.

    I have completely uninstalled the HRC, and download from server install again -- still doesn't work with exactly same error.
    this matter only happens on this PC, when user try same thing on other PC, it works.
    so i think it not relate to server or account.

  • (Cisco Historical Reporting / HRC ) All available connections to database server are in use by other client machines. Please try again later and check the log file for error 5054

    Hi All,
    I am getting an error message "All available connections to database server are in use by other client machines. Please try again later and check the log file for error 5054"  when trying to log into HRC (This user has the reporting capabilities) . I checked the log files this is what i found out 
    The log file stated that there were ongoing connections of HRC with the CCX  (I am sure there isn't any active login to HRC)
    || When you tried to login the following error was being displayed because the maximum number of connections were reached for the server .  We can see that a total number of 5 connections have been configured . ||

    What is the OS version of the PC you are running  and is it physical machine or virtual machine that is running the HRC client ..
    OS Version Windows 7 Home Premium  64 bit and it’s a physical machine.
    . The Max DB Connections for Report Client Sessions is set to 5 for each servers (There are two servers). The no of HR Sessions is set to 10.
    I wanted to know if there is a way to find the HRC sessions active now and terminate the one or more or all of that sessions from the server end ? 

    We have had this "PRX5" problem with Exchange 2013 since the RTM version.  We recently applied CU3, and it did not correct the problem.  We have seen this problem on every Exchange 2013 we manage.  They are all installations where all roles
    are installed on the same Windows server, and in our case, they are all Windows virtual machines using Windows 2012 Hyper-V.
    We have tried all the "this fixed it for me" solutions regarding DNS, network cards, host file entries and so forth.  None of those "solutions" made any difference whatsoever.  The occurrence of the temporary error PRX5 seems totally random. 
    About 2 out of 20 incoming mail test by Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer fail with this PRX5 error.
    Most people don't ever notice the issue because remote mail servers retry the connection later.  However, telephone voice mail systems that forward voice message files to email, or other such applications such as your scanner, often don't retry and
    simply fail.  Our phone system actually disables all further attempts to send voice mail to a particular user if the PRX5 error is returned when the email is sent by the phone system.
    Is Microsoft totally oblivious to this problem?
    PRX5 is a serious issue that needs an Exchange team resolution, or at least an acknowledgement that the problem actually does exist and has negative consequences for proper mail flow.

    As long as the PDF opens, then just try saving it to a new file name. There may be a preflight script that would help troubleshoot the issue.

  • Can I install a PDF writer such as CutePDF on my Mac?  Or, how do I create PDF files for saving in files?

    I am looking to install a PDF writer so I can capture documents and save them to a customer file.  Is there an Apple function for this or do I need to install a PDF program?

    Like Alberto Ravasio wrote, OS X contains an option to output anything you see as PDF.
    See
    Preview (Yosemite): Print PDFs and images
    So for example, if you are doing research and see an article on Wikipedia that you want to save, you go to the File menu in Safari and select Export as PDF, give it a name, and a location on your drive.  You can then open those documents with Preview or with Adobe Reader.
    Similarly, if you use Pages or Numbers or Excel or Word, you can send the output to a PDF file, similar as if you were printing it. So no, you don't need a PDF writer.
    I am looking to install a PDF writer so I can capture documents and save them to a customer file.  Is there an Apple function for this or do I need to install a PDF program?
    But if you are looking for screen scrapers or data collectors, that is something else.
    This PDF ability in OS X is a major advantage the Mac has had over the years.  It is often forgotten as to how well it really works and how flexible, along with Preview, it works.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?

    How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?
    I have created one using Apples Pages program.
    Thanks!

    Hi-
    You need to create a text link to the file...
    On your page, type a word that you want to be the link... then select the word, and in the inspector pane, click the link tab (the arrow on the far right) and check "enable as hyperlink." Then choose "file" from the dropdown menu and a chooser box will open for you to locate the file on your hard drive.
    Choose the file by clicking "open" once it's located. Then the next time you publish, the file will be uploaded and linked to!
    Hope this helps... I think I got all the steps in there!

  • How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by using text tags. EchoSign Text Tags are specially formatted text that can be placed anywhere within the content of your
    document specifying the location, size, type of fields such as signature and initial fields, check boxes, radio buttons and form fields, and advanced optional field processing rules. Text Tags can also be used as names of PDF Form fields.
    Text Tags are converted into EchoSign form fields when the document is sent for signature or uploaded to the EchoSign Document Library. EchoSign Text Tags can be placed in any document type such as PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and text files (.txt, .rtf)
    Please refer to page 5 ( date) and 10 (signature) of the Creating Adobe Echosign Forms With Text Tags.The document can be found here
    Thanks,

  • How can I open PDF files?  The usual procedures don't work for me.  Thanks.

    How can I open PDF files?  Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem.  Now I can open none of them.  I have Adobe Reader X.  Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X.  No success.  Thanks.

    What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
    Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.
