Hyperlinks to PDF files with Excel XP will not open on Acrobat

Hi all;
I am having an issue with Acrobat Reader X.
I am using Windows 7 x64 Pro, with Acrobat Reader X, and MS Office XP and try as I might, I cannot create an Hyperlink to a PDF document. Excel says that "there is no program registered to open this file" and I have done pretty much everything I've seen on the net, including removing / reinstalling both programs, making sure it is registered in Regedit as the program to open this kind of files, repairing both programs through the control panel, I have also followed Microsoft advice on how to unregister/register a program to no avail, and a few others I cannot remember right now. I have recreated the same environnement in another computer, and it runs fine.
Does anyone has any idea what else I could try? Or, hopefully, an answer to the problem because you've already gotten it before and were able to fix it?
I thank you in advance for your kind help !
Nabil,

We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them. any suggestions

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

PDF files smaller than 8K will not open in IE 6.0

Hi,
I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.
This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.
All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.
If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.
I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.
Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
Thanks.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them. I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past. The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files. These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera. How do I fix this?

When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.
In Photoshop, click Help > Updates to update Camera Raw.

I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.

When I export my number file in Excel, I can not open the spreadsheet : Invalid Reference, what's wrong ?

When I export my number file in Excel, I can not open the spreadsheet : Invalid Reference, what's wrong ?

"Invalid reference" usually means there is a cell reference in a formula to a cell that does not exist in the document.
In this case, it could mean that your Numbers document uses a feature that is not supported by MS Excel, and because of that, the document cannot be translated into an Excel file.
A more specific answer would require a more detailed description of your Numbers document.

Excel 2007 will not open .XLS from a doubleclick, only file open ...

I have a user who has Office 2007. Her Excel will not open .xls files when she doubleclicks on them, be it on the desktop, in a folder or from outlook mail messages. However, when she maps to it with File >>> Open >>> dig down to file
>>> x.Xls, then the file opens. What is causing the doubleclick not to work, and what can I do about it so it does?

Hi,
We can change the file association of the Excel file. Please right-click the Excel file and choose
Properties. Click the Change button and choose
Microsoft Office Excel. Also check the box before:
Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
If the problem persists, try the methods below to resolve the issue:
Method 1: Enable the
Ignore Other Applications that use DDE feature
===================
1.
Click the Office button an then click
Excel Options. Excel displays the Excel Options dialog box.
2.
Click
Advanced at the left side of the dialog box.
3.
In the
General section, make sure the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box is selected.
4.
Click on
OK.
If you still cannot double-click on a workbook to open it, try these steps:
Method 2:
=================

Close Excel completely.
2.
Open a My Computer window.

Choose

In the list of registered file types, find and select the entry for
XLS (Microsoft Excel Worksheet).
6.
Depending on your version of Windows, click on either the Edit or the
Advanced button. You should see the Edit File Type dialog box.
7.
In the list of actions, choose
Open.
8.
Click the
Edit button. Windows displays the Editing Action dialog box.
9.
The Application Used to Perform Action box contains the actual command line used to start Word. Double-check the line to make sure there are no strange extra filenames at the
end of the command line.
10.
Make sure the
Use DDE check box is selected, and that the DDE Message box is set to the following: [open("%1")]
11.
Click on
OK.
12.
Close all the other open dialog boxes.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
