Illustrator CC PDF opens in Reader with error message

When I save an Illustrator file as a PDF, Adobe Reader users get an error message when opening the file – "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." Why is this happening?

My apologies. We should have been more specific with our question.
We should have asked this:
Has anyone else seen this message in Acrobat Reader when opening PDFs
created in Illustrator CC since the most current update (v.17.1.0)?  If so,
would you be so kind as to reply with any general or specific information,
or even thoughts, as to what might be causing it in this newest version of
Illustrator?
The error message reads:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the
problem."  (Oddly, the message says "Acrobat," even though the application
it appears in is Reader.)
The message appears to Adobe Reader users (current version v.11.0.06,
running in Mavericks); and started appearing after we updated Illustrator.
The file content (except for one minor type revision), the PDF settings, the
Adobe Reader users (clients), etc., haven't changed since before then. There
were no issues with PDFs created in the past from the same file, but when we
created new PDFs, our clients received the error message upon opening them.
The files do open, and seem to be fine otherwise; but the recurring message
does annoy our clients, and erodes our credibility as digital designers.
We have tried several strategies to resolve this problem saving the PDFs
with different settings; altering the file format of the linked image files;
embedding the images files; outlining the type; using alternative typefaces;
expanding appearances of objects; etc. anything we could think of to
simplify the file or remove an offending file component all to no avail.
We even opened the PDFs in Acrobat XI Pro CC (v. 11.0.06) and resaved with
new file names, and were still met with the same difficulty.
Other details: sRGB color profile in AI file and images; 3 - 11 x 8.5" art
boards; PNG-24 images; PDF settings used: Illustrator Default, PDF/X-4:2008,
Smallest File Size, High-Quality Print, plus a few custom settings from
printers and developers
So . . . We were hoping that if anyone had encountered this same message,
they might have a clue as to what it relates. Any insight would allow us to
troubleshoot further with that information in mind.
Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
      Need a help in solving the below issue.
    "How to keep the field open for input with error message in report program"
    Regards,
    C.Shasiraj.

    Hi...
    you have to use the event:
    <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON <FIELD> EVENT.</b>
    u have to give an error message in this event.
    Consider the following <b>Example:</b>
    <b>PARAMETERS : NUMBER TYPE I.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
      IF NUMBER = 10.
        MESSAGE 'Number vakue is 10' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE NUMBER.
    </b>
    in this if u give the value of number = 10, it will not proceed further, if u give some other value other than 10 you will proceed further...
    Execute this program once u will understand....

  • I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe
    I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
    Please help!?

    Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem.  But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry.  If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

    Depending on your OS, you should be able to use;

    Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
    Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

    Yes:
    Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
    That's it!
    So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
    This document gives location:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
    If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
    X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
    So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
    But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
    Which OS?
    If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
    UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

    Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't!  I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset.  All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support.  Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'.  I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch.  I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project.  Because it seems you very much can not!

    Dennis,
    Many thanks.

    Subject: Premiere Pro cs4 opens cs3 files with errors
    Jarrod,
    As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers.  That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support.  This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
    Here's a couple of suggestions:
    1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
    2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
    3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
    Try these things and let me know how you make out.  Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs.  I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times.  You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
    The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
    Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
    I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.

  • Help with error message opening lightroom 5 on macbook?

    I downloaded lightroom 5 on my macbook. i have os-lion. When I open the program and error message appears  saying " error switching modules". I am missing all the options to import photos. When I try to click on lightroom preferences at the top of the screen nothing pops up.  It seems like i am missing some of the options and the navigation pane. Do i need to update something else to be able to import photos and click between module pages?

    55AB,
    It appears the error message you have is an ink system failure error message. While it looks like your printer needs to be services there is also a thread with some suggestions out there with some results for this same issue. I have linked this thread this post. You will want to look at message 16 and 17 for what seems to be a resolution for your same printer. Hope this helps.
