Need Help opening converted file in Pages

I have a Mac and use Pages as my word processor.  Pages converts Word documents into its format so that they can be opened, read and edited.  I have never been unable to open/use a document opened this way . . . till now. The downloaded document won't open in Pages.  It says it is an "invalid format."  I hope someone can help me.  The purchase of the Adobe program is no value to me if I can't use it, and I need to be able to use documents in this way.  Thanks in advance.

You can set up a link to behave as you want, ignoring whatever the user preference is set to, but I don't know if you can configure such a link in InDesign.
In Acrobat, you can edit the link action (assuming it's a "Go to a page view / Go to a page in another document" type) and select "New Window" in the "Open in" drop down:

  • Need help opening pdf files

    I have a cd, which I have had for several years, and was able to use until the last year.  Suddenly, Adobe Reader (I have tried several versions, updates, fixes, whatever!) says that each and every pdf file on the disk is damaged.
    This is a cd that used to be able to start up on its own, and had various menus to get to the final pdf pages.  I cannot open the files through windows explorer, nor by going through the menus.  Each time, the error message tells me the file(s) was damaged because it was sent via e-mail or some other method that caused the files to be damaged.  The problem with that is that the files and the cd were never altered, as the cd is not a rewritable one.  It is also not pirated, if anyone is going to ask that question.
    The cd is a manual for my vehicle.  It has a parts manual, and a workshop manual along with other items.  When the cd is put into the drive, it starts automatically, but cannot get a single file open.  I have tried this in two different systems, and I get the same results.  The strange thing is that I have files made under earlier Reader versions that still work.  So why not this one, and why isn't someone at Adobe available to help me straighten this out?  Shame on them!

    NEED SERIOUS ATTENTION FROM ADOBE.
    You are in a user to user forum. If you want attention from Adobe, you'll have to contact Adobe and pay for the attention, as they don't provide free attention for problems related with the free Reader.
    Adobe Reader cannot create PDF files, only open (read) them. If you cannot open some PDFs from within Reader in your machine and others, most probably they are damaged. Are you receiving any error messages when you try to open them? "Not able to open" doesn't say much, really.

  • PSE 12: Mac need help opening RAW files

    I downloaded the trial version of PSE 12 on a Mac OS X v 10.8.5 and I am unable to open the CR2 RAW files taken by a Canon EOS Rebel XS and loaded directly to the Mac.
    The exact error message is, "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
    The Camera Raw plug in version on this PSE 12 is 8.2.0.94
    In an effort to open these CR2 files, I downloaded the DNG Converter 8_2. This provided a similar error, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
    I believe that my camera is supported by PSE12 :
    I plugged an external hard drive into the Mac which contains CR2 files from the exact same camera. The files were unloaded using a Windows PC and then saved on the hard drive. They open on the Mac using PSE12. No problem.
    So, I am guessing that the problem is that I am a new Mac user. I have no idea where I should look on the Mac to figure out why the CR2 files directly loaded to the Mac won't open in PSE12 but files loaded to a WIndows computer and then opened on the Mac will open in PSE12.
    Any suggestions?

    Barbara B--thank you so much for trying to help me.
    I finally have success! I discovered that I must use the Canon EOS Utility to download the files to the Mac. Not iphoto and not the Image Capture.
    For anyone else who might need a link to the Canon Rebel XS EOS Utility, I found it here:

  • Need help opening pdf file created in japanese adobe

    I have Adobe Reader 9. Acolleague just sent me a document that was created in a Japanese version of adobe. It is still a pdf file, but I cannot open it. I get a message saying some components needed to complete thte operation are missing, and would I like to go to the Adobe page on the web to look for them?

  • Need help opening a file in a new window

    I'm creating an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5.5.
    This PDF contains buttons I've made that link to other, separate, PDF files using the open file method.
    This is all working fine - trouble is, when I click the button to open the second PDF file, the first PDF automatically closes.
    Is there any way to make the second PDF open in a new window, keeping the first PDF open?
    This is something that every user must be able to do, so using preference --> Open cross-doc links in same window will not work.
    Is there a JavaScript code to use?
    Your help would be much appreciated!

    despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
    does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
    i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

  • I can no longer open .doc files with pages 5

    hi,
    whenever I click on a .doc document pages tells me that:
    "Pages doesn’t support RTF files."
    this is very annoying and complicates everyday exchange with colleges,
    does anyone has an idea how to solve that? make pages open .doc?
    best,
    jakob

    The weird thing is that it was a .doc file (I suspect an older version is what has caused that error) and not .rtf... I tried to open the same document with the older version of pages, which worked fine.
    No, I can assure you it was an RTF file.  The fact that the filename ended ".doc" is irrelevant and certainly does not make a file a Microsoft Word document.  The filename is irrelevant, and the file content is what's critical.  For example, I could take a .mp3 music file, and then rename it "Presentation.doc".  You would not be able to open this in any word processing software on any operating system.
    Also remember that having files end with ".xxx", although a requirement in Microsoft Windows is completely optional in other operating systems like OS X and Linux.  Files do not have to have "extensions" at all.
    You have two options:
    1.  Rename the file, removing the ".doc" part.  Now when you open in Finder, it will automatically open with Text Edit, which is OS X's RTF editor.  If you absolutely must cling to Windows conventions, you could set the extension as ".rtf" - it makes no difference, as Finder uses the file content format to detemine the best program to use.
    2.  If you do have Microsoft Word available (either on Windows or Mac), open the .doc file in Word, choose "save as..", change the document type from RTF to the Word ".doc" format, ignore the warning informing you that you are changing the format, and then Save.  Now you can open the file in Pages.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been tol...

    Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range.  I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins).  Didn't work.
    thanks

    What router are you using?  Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS  (not the WRT54GS).
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Problem opening .doc files in pages/.xls files in numbers...

    My hard drive recently failed and has been replaced.  Since the new hard drive was installed, I am unable to open .doc files with pages or .xls files with numbers.  I never had this problem before.

    I have I-work 09 [Pages 4.0 (727)]
    This is the same version I had before (I think) -- At the Apple Store they used a new I-Work disc to install it onto the new hard drive.
    I hope someone can help with this!
    Thank you!
