How to open a pdf with a ".exe" extension?

Hi everyone,
I am new. Someone just sent me a document they created in Acrobat 9 pro. They say it is a password protected pdf. When I click open or download, it changes from 1 KB to 28 bytes and displays a message that the content has been deleted. I would really appreciate any insights!
In case it helps, I am using Windows 7 and have Acrobat XI Pro. Thanks.

If it was a PDF with a .exe extension I suspect you have just been injected with Virsus, Worm, Trogan Horse or some other malware.  A PDF if it’s a true PDF will only have pdf extension.  When some one says it’s a Pdf but say it will be sent as exe file don't download it. Or if itd ownloaded don't open it trash it immediately.

  • How to open a PDF with Acrobat 5?

    I'm trying to open a pdf. I get an error message saying file is damaged and can't be opened but I have no problem opening  it with Adobe ReaderX. What is wrong?
    Thanks!

    There's something in it that isn't comaptible with Acrobat 5 or it would open it. I know Acrobat 5 is what you have, but frankly, it's obsolete. You can download a 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and open it, then save it as Optimized for 4 and up, but if you plan to continue using Acrobat... you're going to need a version that's newer than 2003.
    That shows the Reader versions that went along with Acrobat (because the Acrobat downloads themselves aren't available anymore).
    5.0 and 5.05 were designed for oprating systems that haven't even been supported by Microsoft since 2006.

    You can restore only to a BlackBerry device, and then once you copied what you wanted to the storage of your choice (computer or cloud). you can then copy it to whatever device you choose.
    But to get the information from the backup file, you will need to use a BlackBerry 10 device

  • How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

    I am new to Indesign Server.
    I'm currently working on a pdf.
    I have a white blank pdf template.
    that I want to attach/glue it with images.
    How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks.

    First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
    Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
    Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
    If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
    If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
    A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

  • How to open a pdf file with command in WebBrowser control?

    Installed acrobat 6 or7 in my PC, then I load a WebBrowser control in IE to open a local pdf file with command line, such as "Page=3", and then open the same pdf file with WebBrowser control in other IE process, I found the command will affect other open and show operations in webbrowser. is it normal?  That is to say, When i set command "Page=3", the second time WebBrowser still open pdf with command "Page=3",I think it is bad.

    Hello:
    Thanks for your reply. I installed Acrobat6.0 or 7.0 in my PC, then i load a WebBrowser Control in IE by Html, then open local pdf with different command by running IE. We can get the command in this website: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf
    First:open local pdf with command : oWebBrowser.Navigate("G:
    PDF
    07000001.pdf#Page=3&Pagemode=thumbs", null, null, null, null);
    Second:Open the same local pdf with no command:  oWebBrowser.Navigate("G:
    PDF
    07000001.pdf", null, null, null, null)
    【Result】The first command "#Page=3&Pagemode=thumbs" will effect the way of showing pdf when second open. But, the phenomenon will not appear in Acrobat 8.0, 9.0, 10.0.

    You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
    Your options:
    1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
    or, if that is impossible,
    2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

  • How to open a pdf file in signed version?

    Hello,
    I like to open a singed pdf file in the singed version mode.
    If I open the pdf with command windows.open() it's possible to change the fields of the pdf file, signed fields are displayed but we don't want to give the user the change opportunity. When I open the pdf with windows.show() then the singed fields are empty and we want to see the signed fields as well.
    When I do a right click on the signed field there is an option show signed version. Then the edit functions an interactive functions are disabled. This is the state I like to open the pdf files. How to achieve this?
    hope that someone can help me!

    Hi  Bruce,
    Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and  check.
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
