Is anybody having problems reading PDF files

Having a problem reading PDF files. Is there a workaround? Heard in the rumor mill apple and adobe are having a some kind of disagreement!!!

What exactly is your problem?
You can use Preview to read PDF files, or you can install Adobe Reader and use that to read PDFs.

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

Hi Randy Keil,
You might need to sign up with your Adobe ID and password at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf"
Then you can choose the desired files to create the PDF.
Now, let me know what error message do you get while doing the same.
What kind of files are you trying to convert to PDF?
Have you checked with your internet connection and tried using a different browser?
Hope to get your response.

Having problems reading pdf in safari (encoding)?

I'm having problems with reading pdf files on safari. What is the fix?

And carefully read what Adobe advise customers to do:
"Adobe recommends customers stay with Mac OS 10.6 and Safari 5.0.x in order for in-browser use cases to continue to function."
Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
As of today Safari can not display the pdf files from the on-line libraries around the globe but the user can download the pdf file, and then it shows up.
I guess this is yet another reason to stay with the 10.6.8 Mac OS.

Problems reading PDF Files and or Word Documents and when purchased this I had Word on this computer?

I need help I had just recently purchased a program to help solve issues on my computer From Reimage and they still have not fixed the problems that I am having and I am no computer wiz and need help.

You need Adobe Reader to read PDF files.
You need MS Office to open Word docs. If you don't have then
LibreOffice is one of your best bets.

Problem reading pdf files

I’m having trouble opening some recent pdf files with Adobe Reader. This is a problem that has only happened in the last few weeks.
All my older pdf files open without any problem. However all my more recently downloaded pdf files will not open. I get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.”
My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium with a 64-bit OS and 8 GB RAM and my Adobe Reader is up-to-date (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10).
I have already tried re-installing Adobe Reader and used the help to Repair Adobe Reader Installation but to no avail.
All my pdf files open with Foxit so I don’t think that any are really damaged.
However when I copy text from Foxit to Word letters are occasionally omitted (for example off might appear as of or fire as fie ). This may well be because Foxit is not as reliable as it should be and it happens even with the older files Adobe Reader can open. So I am not happy using Foxit as a solution.

I have found a somewhat lengthy solution:
First open the problem pdf file with Foxit.
Then save it as the same name file in the same place, overwriting the original file.
Now open the new file with Adobe Reader and the problem has gone.
The problem of missing letters when copying text has gone too.
I have no idea why this works.
I would still like to learn of a better solution.

Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
Any suggestions?

I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

Problem reading pdf files, they are incomplete, garbled

I cannot read or download correctly pdf files. They appear garbled, illegible and incomplete both on screen and when trying to print them.

I have found a somewhat lengthy solution:
First open the problem pdf file with Foxit.
Then save it as the same name file in the same place, overwriting the original file.
Now open the new file with Adobe Reader and the problem has gone.

I purchased a PDF Pack last November and I'm having problem combining pdf files into one with the subscription that I purchased. I have no idea why it's not doing this and therefore I would like to cancel the subscription. There is no other way of commu

I purchased a PDF Pack last November and I'm having a problem with combining multiple pages into a single PDF file. Please let me know why this is otherwise I would like to cancel the subscription

Hi aspenavenue,
I've checked your account, and there are no issues there. What happens when you try to combine files? Do you get an error message? I would love to help, if possible.
Best,

Problem reading pdf file on ipad

I emailed a pdf to myself to read on the ipad3. When I click on the file in the email it reads properly. When I use "open in" Adobe Reader or "open in" ibooks the file crashes the program. The file reads properly on my computer (PC) and was downloaded from a reliable publishing house. Any advice?

Resolving this particular “problem” is not necessarily something that can be done with our software, especially if the newspaper in question is simply allowing you to download PDF files of the full broadsheet or even tabloid size pages used for printing. There is just too much content on such newspaper pages, even if just text, to allow for (1) reasonably page-to-page performance and (2) even a passable reading experience in terms of content layout, type size, etc.

Having problems combining PDF files with electronic signatures...

I have Adobe Pro XI and I've been trying to combine numerous PDF files. They are each 2 pages and contain electronic signatures. When I attempt to combine them it appears to be working and then suddenly Adobe just closes with no error message or anything??

Think about it: You sign a document and then someone adds some pages to it
and pretends you signed those as well. You wouldn't what that to happen,
would you? Well, with digital signatures it can be prevented.

Problem Reading pdf files sent thru e-mail

I saved some software output prints to pdf files (software has option for saving to pdf) and e-mailed to a co-worker. I can see and print fine from my hard drive but recipient got only dots on the pages. Should have been numbers and text. I have Adobe 8.1.2. Do you have any idea why this happened or what to do? Thanks.

Some email servers corrupt PDF files because they use the wrong encoding for them. Try zipping them up before sending them.

Having problems reducing PDF file size.

Really frustrated...
Mac 10.6.8
Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4
I do not have access to the originating files for the PDF in question. Original file is 268MB.
6.25" x 10.25" document size.
I have used Save As Reduced file size. Increased file to 312MB.
I have Save As Optimized PDF with smallest file size. and got the file down to 247MB.
I printed out to a .ps file and ran it through Distiller with a custom Smaller File size taking it down to 72dpi (.ps file was 2.6GB) and got the file to 216MB.
I did another Optimize of the 216MB file clicking everything [flattening, fonts, images, etc.] and the file came out to 530MB. (Really?!?!)
[This also took 3.5 hours.]
Ok, content stream at 97%. I don't know what that is or how to reduce it.
I'd love to get this below 100MB and below 50MB would be great.
Any help / hints / tricks / tips are greatly apprectiated.

I'm not sure that printing to a new PDF is the answer. When I print to a PDF, my pdf size balloons (often by 3x the original size). I've checked the settings in the print profile (verifying I'm printing to black and white, and lowering the DPI from 1200 to 300) but even at that, the finished product is often 2.5x the original. (Background on the document ... it was paper, I scanned it at 400 dpi. The file size was around 3 MB. I added a footer and then printed to pdf. The finished product was 9 MB.) Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Problem reading PDF files after the latest Adobe update.

Althouigh I think I've followed the Adobe instructions, I continue to get the following error message and can no longer access PDF docs since the most recent Adobe update:
“Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser”.
And when I try to re-install the reader, my system tells me I already have the latest version of the reader installed...

Uninstall Adobe reader and use Preview instead. Works much better and won't screw up your computer.
