    SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    Thank you Pat!!!

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Does this help with Firefox?

  • Can't open pdf files that are forwarded from a iphone

    Our clients are sending in emails which a few of our users are viewing them on their iPhone. When they forward the message to other users the pdf files won't open. It gives an error message, "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". I've tried saving the pdf to the desktop then try to open it with no success and the same error message.I've also checked to make sure the Add-in is enabled.
    We are on Acrobat X 32 bit Standard 10.1.10 and Windows 7 x64 Pro/Ult. Outlook is 32 bit version. Any ideas what the problem is?

  • Cannot open pdf files using optonline email

    PDF attachments to optonline emails do not open. It was possible at one time to open PDF files by right double clicking the file bar and selecting "reload page" but that no longer works.

    Hi FRANKIMOSSI,
    Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? I'd take a look at [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is a lot of information in there and it lists a couple of different PDF add-ons. I'd try both to see if it is localized to just one.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I cannot open PDF files in IPad email attachments.

    Will I pad open PDF files? I get nothing when clicking on the document, but have read the iPad 2 will open PDFs without a 3rd party app. Please help.

    If they don't have digital rights management on them then you should be able to open them. If they are large PDFs you may have to wait a little while for them to finish downloading.
    If they still don't open then you could try closing the Mail app completely and then re-open and see if you can then open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can open PDF files that are sent to me. Cannot open PDF files in other websites

    Why can't I open files in otherweb sites. I downloaded the latest version, now I cannot open files on other web sites. I can open them from another computer?

    Your operating system?  Your browser?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Opening PDF files that are posted on our website

    I create a monthly newsletter using inDesign 5.0.   Since I switched to inDesign, I've had mixed results from users opening the files.  There is nothing that I can pinpoint as the problem.  For some users, the file will open right away in the browser in IE.  For others (myself included), it will not open in the browser, but will open if I deselect the option to open Adobe files in the browser.  It opens in adobe reader.  For some people, it will open fine using Firefox or Chrome.  For others it doesnt open at all, but generates an error.  Yesterday, it did not open for one user who has Reader XI.  I downloaded the file and into Adobe X Pro and resaved it and it now works for him, but freezes for others.  The most common symptom is that it doesn't completely download. 
    My users who are opening this file are not sophisticated at all.  Many of them have trouble simply operating a computer.  If I tell them they need to install another browser or change Adobe reader settings I'm going to have a major outcry. 
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this random issue and what I can do to resolve it?  I patched inDesign yesterday to the most recent version and if I have to go to CC, I will, but I really need the majority of my readers to be able to open this document without a problem. 
    Once I create the document, I Export to Adobe (print).  I'm wondering if it has to do with compatibility, because the default compatibility is set to Adobe 6.  But without some consistent test results, I'm hard pressed to figure it out.
    The document is at www.squarethru.com and it's the Dec 2013 newsletter (top left nav pane).  Any help I can get would be greated appreciately.
    Thanks,
    Susan

    Hello Susan,
    You cannot control how a PDF opens from the web. If at all possible, I would recommend using a for web PDF creation. All this does is make the download smaller at a sacrifice of image quality. It should not affect text at all. You can also just play with the downsample values to find a reasonable trade-off between file size and image quality.
    But this issue isn't related to ID. It has to do with how individual users have their browsers set up, whether they have updated browser plug-ins, etc.
    Because I have my browsers set to open a PDF in a new tab, that's what it does on your newsletter PDF.

  • I cannot open PDF files within Firefox.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.23 on a Macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. However I'm unable to open pdf files online. It works on google chrome from the same computer, just not firefox. There is a blank area where the pdf file should open, and nothing happens. I cannot download the file using firefox either. I've tried restarting and such, can you please help me?

  • I cannot open PDF filkes sent via email. I used too. nHow do I fix.

    Cannot open PDF files sent via email. The open via Word in encripted jinerish. This has not happend until now.

    I had the same problem.  My version of RoboHelp is pretty old (x5) and the problem was with pdfs made up in version 9.  Some pdfs would open and some would not.  It depended on the version used to make the pdf.  Got error messages and corrupted file messages.
    I solved the problem by using the full version of Acrobat and using the pdf Optimizer to make compatible with version 5( just to make sure).
    Another option is to "print" to the pdf printer when the file is open.
    Both then can be imported into RoboHelp without a problem
    Hope this helps.  It ruined many days at work for me while I tried to figure out what on earth I was going to do.

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • Hi, i cannot open PDF files.  I recently downloaded a sample of Adobe Pro, but that has now expired

    Hi, i cannot open PDF files.  I recently downloaded a sample of Adobe Pro, but that has now expired and my PC wants a code input to enable me to open adobe files.
    I do not wish to purchase Adobe Pro as it is too expensive.
    please help, being unable to open PDF files is starting to hamper my business.
    thanks

    If all that you want to do is open PDF files, you can download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.
