MacBook isn't opening PDF files. Not even the ones I created. Help?

I can't open pdf files. I just get black lines and some clipart. They will open on my PC at work, but not on my mac. I can't even open the ones that i created ON my mac! When I try to open my own files, it says "Convert File From" - any suggestions?
Thanks, Ginger

Which Mac OS X do you have installed?

    Keynote 6.2 foes not open any previous files. Even the one created 1 week ago.
    I have 2 computers and both gives the same bug.
    Either Keynote says that the file cannot be opened or it crashes.
    What can I do?

    Check you are using the correct version of Keynote to open the files; right click the file and select Open With > Keynote 6.2.

    How do you lock a PDF file so that the user cannot create or delete bookmarks?
    Thanks!

    There's no way to lock bookmarks specifically, but if you you can apply a
    security policy to prevent editing the PDF in general.

  • Opening PDF Files Not Working Sporadically

    I inherited a VB.Net Windows application. It uses MDI Parent and MDI Child forms. Two of the child forms have viewers that open PDF files. In both cases the child forms are launched and the PDF file opened when the user selects a menu item. My application has references to four Adobe dlls, AcroPDF.dll, adodb.dll, AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll, and Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll. In both cases when the menu item for the desired document is selected (this raises a button click event) a very simple line of code " AxAcroPDF1.src = [path]\ [name of PDF file] " is executed. When executed from a CD, the application works fine on the development machine and on some user workstations, but on at least one workstation when the user selects the menu item that open the PDF file they get an unhandled exception error. The error message is quite lengthy, so I will only include excerpts. "0x8000405 Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" is the meat of the error message.
    The user's machine on which the error occurs has Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Distiller, as does another user workstation on which the application runs fine. Windows Vista is the standard, so I do not believe it is being affected by the version of Windows. All of our workstations are supposed to be imaged using the same master; however individual users can have other software installed as needed. We do have some stringent security requirements and they vary depending on the network the particular user is on. I do not think this would have any affect on a standalone Windows application running from a CD, however I am not certain that is the case.
    Any answers, suggestions, thoughts, etc. on why this error would occur on some machines but not others will be greatly appreciated. There is so much on the net that my Google searches return it is difficult to filter through all of it. The error message in question can apparently be generated many ways and so far I have not found anything that is specific to the error occurring when attempting to open a PDF file within a Windows application.

    The user's workstation on which the application throws an error has Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as does one of the other workstations on which the application runs correctly. I verified this with the user, so we can eliminate the version of the software as being the culprit. Please express any thoughts or ask any questions you feel are pertinent. I would like to get to the bottom of this and will gladly do whatever will help other posters help me. Thanks.

  • Cannot open PDF-files, "not a right win32 program"

    All my PDF-files have the wrong logo. Instead of the PDF logo the have a small Excel logo down in the right corner.
    If I try to open it is says it is not a right win32 program. I need help with this.
    I downloaded Adobe Reader X today and it did not help. In Reader X there is an option for open files and there it is no problem. All open pdf-files have the right logo in there but the same file anyplace else have abovementioned problem and can not open.

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

  • This is actually a FF 4 RC question...but I can no longer open PDF files...the page just goes blank. No option in applications to set a PDF viewer as default. Help!

    How do you open PDF files in FF4 RC? The application section in options doesn't have PDF as an option to associate with a program. Whenever I click on a PDF file, I just get a blank tab.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • MacBook won't print PDF files, it states The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1

    Question: MacBooK won't print PDF files, after selecting print it states; The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1. I am currently using a HP Deskjet 4400 series printer and it works fine with all our other lap top computers. Thanks for any help.

    The pictwpstops filter on OS X machines, converts the job to straight Postscript before the normal CUPS filters get it.
    If the Adobe APPs have a choice of what kind of PS to send, like Binary or ASCII, try toggling that setting to the opposite of what it is.
    Though, if a reboot fixed it then likely the problem was a remporary bit flip, which may or may not happen again.

  • How to open PDF file located on the SD card?

    The firefox browser has a cabability of opening the online PDF files. However, I cannot find a way to open the pdf files I have copied to the device's SD card via the USB connection.

    Hi,
    Thank you for this question, we don't yet have a way to read PDF files off of the sdcard on Firefox OS. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. There is a new app for exploring the sdcard (for sharing), so hopefully we'll have an app for reading PDF files coming soon.
    Best regards,

  • MacBook won't open pdf files with Adobe Acrobat Reader

    I just bought a 13" MacBook and transferred everything from my 12" PowerBook to the MacBook. I just tried to open a file saved with Adobe and I get the following message:
    You cannot open the application “Adobe Reader” because it is not supported on this architecture.
    Any suggestions?

    Yep you need Adobe Reader for Intel. Actually you don't even need that. You could use Preview to view .pdf's but I always use Reader. Don't really know why

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

    I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do.  I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
    I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files.  Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
    I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
    Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error.  Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
    1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible).  I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
    2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
    3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
    4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
    5) Re-install Photoshop
    After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file.  I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue.  It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator).  But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution.  Hope this helps!

  • I am getting a Eula error trying to open PDF file, not allowing me to open...what should I do?

    I have tried reinstalling software and didn't work. 
    How do I fix this eula error and open up PDF files again?

    I think I fixed it using help from another post...agreeing to license agreement in program files eula.exe
    I think Eula is a licensing agreement term (not quite sure because I just heard of it when error happened). 

  • How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

    hello,
    i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
    thanks.

    The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

  • Acrobat Reader can't open PDF file downloaded from the internet

    I downloaded the following pdf file from the internet and saved it to the desktop. When I tried to open the file I got a message saying Acrobat couldn't open it. I do not have trouble opening other PDF files. There is something about opening certain PDF files from the internet that is causing this. Is there a setting in the PDF preferences that is causing this or some security setting.
    http://www.porteverglades.net/include/content/docs/media/Port-map-2009.pdf

    It seems that Safari is unable to export the document as a PDF because the exported file was zero bytes. That's why I couldn't open it. I tried Firefox and did a File>Save. It saved the file as a PDF which I was able to open. So proglem solved.
