I cannot open PDF files on a tractor repair manual CD.  Do I need a program to be able to open the files?

First I am not very tech savvy so bear with me.  I have a service repair manual for my New Holland tractor that is on a CD.  When I go to open the PDF files on the CD I get the following error message:
"acrobat could not open "FILE NAME"  because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correcty decoded)."
I suspect the problem is that I need a specific program distributed by New Holland to be able to open/read the files.  Would that be a possibility?  This disc would normally only be used by New Holland service personnel at the dealer.  I did a google search for PDF decoder and tried a few different programs but none of them worked with any of the files on my cd. 
The CD  has the file "acroread5.exe" which installed acrobat reader 5.0 on my computer.  It also has "autorun.exe".  When I open "autorun.exe" it opens acrobat reader and gives me the same error message as above.  There is an "AutoRunHL.exe" that when I open my computer will give me the loading symbol for a couple seconds and then nothing happens.  There is another file "autorun.inf" which consists of:
[autorun]
OPEN=AutoRunHL.exe
ICON=autorun.exe
Does anyone know if there is a program I can use to open/decode the PDF files on my cd? 

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

    I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open.  I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment.  When I double click attachment I get the following error message.  Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

    You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
    Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
    Let us know if you need help with that.  Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"

    I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
    Any ideas what could be wrong?
    My OSX is 10.5.1.
    The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
    START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
    How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
    thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
    which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
    Guide (woo hoo!).
    By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
    document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
    need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
    EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
    First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
    sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
    document. Example:
    Contents
    Chapter 1
    Chapter 2
    Chapter 3
    Chapter 4
    Etc.
    Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
    Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
    each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
    Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
    item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
    heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
    Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
    bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
    tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
    How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
    “HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
    “publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
    Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
    in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
    to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
    been three pages long. This is your call.
    Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
    Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
    note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
    “Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
    then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
    word, or “toc.”
    Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
    if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
    insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
    descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
    “Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
    window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
    ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
    contents.
    Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
    document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
    insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
    bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
    “Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
    for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
    After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
    and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
    click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
    hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
    Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
    Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
    ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
    your Smashwords files.
    END OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE.
    I did all that as described but I still get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
    Could you help please?

  • "Cannot open the file"

    Hi.
    I was working with CS6 when I exported a file to pdf and saved it later this morning. Now I'm trying to open it but I recieve the next message:
    "Cannot open the file xxxx.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
    Also, the file seems to be like 5 GB of weight or so.
    Anyone has any solution? I've checked a few posts of this discussion forum about the same message but none of them was helpful for my case.
    Thanks in advance and excuse my English.

    You seem to already understand that the file is corrupt, so there's little probability that it can be recovered in ID. One possibility, but one I've not used successfully yet, can be found at Adobe Community: Program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents (for Windows only)
    Another possibility is the paid service from Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
    I have used that service, and it recoverd the text from a very long file successfully, but the index markers were lost, so check your results carefully if you go that route.

  • How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

    How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

    Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
    Yes, it ought to.
    If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
    The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.
