I seem to not be able to open up pdf files I downloaded

...anyone else having the problem? I have tried with Safari & with Firefox. The files DO download, but then I cannot open them. I was able to force open a file using adobe reader, but preview seems to have stopped working with downloads though works great when I open other files, just won't do anything with downloaded files. This just began tonight.
Any ideas?
Paulina

If Preview and Adobe Reader have problems opening the file then there is a problem with the file you downloaded. Could be a problem eminating from the web site you downloaded the file from.

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

Thanks for asking.
I was combining different types of files into a single PDF. Some of them were excel spreadsheets and I had set the print areas in each file. When I cleared the print area the problem stopped. So I am assuming that had something to do with it. Though I am not sure.
The strange thing was that I was able to open the excel source documents after creating the faulty PDF but some of the MS word source documents also had "access denied" status. I still cannot figure that part out.

If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

I need my application to be able to open a .pdf file which was previously synced to the iBooks PFDs Collection. I then wish to remove the file from the collection and send it to email.

Unable to open existing PDF files after downloading Adobe reader

I have an Advent 7085 PC with Windows XP Home version 2002 service pack 2. After downloading the latest Adobe Reader 8 I cannot open any of my existing PDF files, nor can I open any new ones. I have several times downloaded it, tried it and found it doesn't work so have then deleted it from the system and rebooted. Downloaded again only for the same thing to happen again. Error message says that Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then I am advised to let microsoft know of this problem.
Please!!! Is there anybody out there who knows what the problem might be and help me resolve it?
Thanks

I finally called tech support and this is what we did and it worked for me...First go to start/control panel/add&remove programs. Once the program list is configured, hilite Adobe reader and select remove. Once the program is removed, from the control panel select user accounts. Set up a new user account "test". Through user "test" go into www.adobe.com and select icon to download adobe reader. You do not need to run media player, remove check unless you want to download it. After program is downloaded and copied you can close out of adobe. At that point I was able to open my PDF files without any error message. Tech advised me to keep the "test" user set up, doesn't hurt anything to have it there. He told me that there probably was some settings under my user account that was causing a glitch in the download and that is why we opted to download through a new user account. BTW the tech support was free if you still can't get it to work. Good Luck

I am not being able to attach a pdf file to my apple mail after upgrading to os X mountain lion

Hi, I was easily able to attach pdf files to my apple mail. infact I could just open a pdf file and then send it as attachment in the email earlier. but after downloading and upgrading to os X Mountain lion, I am neither being able to attach and send pdf files in my apple mail, nor can I send PDF file as an attachment.
Is there any issue with OS X Mountain Lion.

It shows as attached in the body of my Email ( either as an icon, or the first page of file).

Im using Firefox v. 14.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.7.4. Recently I have not been able to open and pdf links. Solution?

When I click on a pdf link nothing opens up.

Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the external Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Opening a PDF file without downloading first

I have version 9.5.5 on my Apple desktop & my laptop. When I open a PDF document on my laptop, a window opens and asks if I want to save or open on screen. I like this feature, however on my desktop I do not get the choice, it goes to download only and I have to open from that folder. I compared preferences between the 2 computers and they are the same. Could not find a preference allowing a choice in opening a document. Can anyone help? I'm sure there is a simple solution.

I normally use Firefox, but sometimes Safari. I have both on both computers

How do I open a pdf file I downloaded on my Android tablet?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029054 /questions/1029054]''
I can open most downloads, but I click on open and nothing happens. What do I have to do to open PDF file?

At the present time, iCloud doesn't sync pdfs to your other devices. Open the iBooks app on your iMac, control-click on the pdf and choose Share>Mail, email it to yourself, then open the email on your iPad, tap and hold on the pdf attachment and choose open in iBooks. On your MacBook Pro, open the email, save the attachment on your desktop, open the iBooks app and go to File>Add to Library, navigate to the pdf on your desktop and click Add.

Cannot open any pdf files since downloading reader to mac

I have now downloaded reader 9.1 four times to my mac (0S 10.14.1) I have attempted to open credit card statements and i get the black screen with the loading circle in the middle but no statement appears. I've waited a reasonable amount of time so but still no statement. When I downloaded reader I am not getting the user agreement. Any help is most appreciated. I hate change!

Have you copied the files you want to open to your hard disk? Have you tried opening any of those files from within Reader, and not by double clicking on their icons?

Published Project for MAC (.app) and will not open external PDF files

I have two captivate (7.x) projects that I published as Win .exe apps, and they work fine. Published the same two projects as MAC (.app) and when I run the app on the iMac, and click a click box to open an external PDF, nothing happens. The PDFs are located in the "root" folder with the .app file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to open some PDF files on Acrobat 5 that I recently scanned at a Fed Ex office with no issue whatsoever. I could extract pages, delete pages, etc, the software Acrobat 5 worked fine.
What I wonder is there a way I can make a change to a PDF file that will then allow me to open it in Acrobat 5? I have a gut feeling there is an adjustment that I can make in Adobe Reader after opening it that will then make the file accessible in Acrobat 5. I am playing with it but no luck thus far.

Automatic opening of pdf file

on Adobe XI reader the pdf files are not opening automatically . What can be done?

Stacy:
I was not able to open the pdf file by clicking it once or twice; I had to go to adobe icon and open it then I could ask the file to open. It seems the system did not recognize the file as a pdf file. However I have been able to solve this problem, and the files open when I ask them to open.
Thanks.

Looks like this particular file is not transferring to the SAP work directory.
Could you please check and suggest us as to how to fix it.
Thanks & Regards,
Srivas

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
We verified your OSS notes it's not relevant to us Because our issue is while opening the PDF aatchement it is not transferring to my SAP Work Directory because of that reason we are getting the KPRO error. When I'm opening the other PDF files it's transferring to my SAP Work Directory and it's automatically open without any issue.
Please check and suggest.
Thanks,
Srivas
