    hi DilbertG
    Thanks for the quick reply
    I have the PDF file local and select it from the browse
    button.
    The path is absolute.
    The address that IE shows is a MSN search for the PDF file
    name - eg the file name is Students with learning difficulties.pdf
    it goes to a MSN search and looks for Students with learning
    difficulties.pdf web pages.
    I test this in preview and does the above mentioned.
    Do I need to save the PDF in a different location so
    captivate can access it?
    Thanks for the help,
    Cheers

  • Cant open a pdf file as an email attachment

    I need help. I can't open a pdf file as an email attachment. It's like my computer doesn't think reader is installed. I can open an existing file through reader. I have deinstalled and reinstalled reader and am getting the same results.

    You can save the attachment and then open it.
    We can try to help but you haven't mentioned what you are using for your email...

  • Opening 'old' PDF files using Adobe Reader 9

    Hi all, has anyone else had problems opening PDF files created prior to mid August 2006 using the latest reader? I can read these files ok using Version 7.1 which fortunately i still have on one of my systems. It only seems to be those provided by a specific utility company (Gas/Electric bills) is there any way of determining what is hanging version 9? It seems to start loading & then just registers as 'Not responding' in task Manager.... Still using Windows 2000; SEMPRON 3400+; 2Gbyte memory system hangs, yet other system using version 7.1 Windows 2000; DURON 1400; 512mbyte memory works fine.
    any ideas??????

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Cant open any pdf file on surface rt

    i have read and down loaded and tried everybway i know how and it says may not be compatible but everything i read says how easy it is to use,,,been trying to fix this for 4 days now...please help

    Adobe Reader XI is a Desktop app that supports viewing and editing of comments.  It can only run on Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets.
    What it means to you:
    * Microsoft Surface with Windows RT (currently available for purchase) or other ARM-based processor tablets
    You will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.  However, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer) to view and edit comments, instead.  Compared to Adobe Reader XI, Microsoft Reader's commenting feature is somewhat primitive and limited.
    * Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro (coming February 9, 2013) or other Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets
    You can install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.
    Adobe Reader for Windows 8 Tablets (Windows Store app) does not support viewing and editing of comments yet as of this writing.  But we are working on adding the support in the near future.

  • I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

    What is wrong with Reader?  Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

    I gave up loading then scouring out Adobe products each time it told me Flash Player was loaded but was nowhere to be found on my system.  I have now done what I expect is the intention in that I have downloaded the full Adobe trial pack, which they then expect me to purchase.
    Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate.  Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
    Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
    There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.

  • Anyone has any idea how I can open damaged Pdf files?

    Hello!
    I have an issue with trying to open old PDF files in Adobe Reader 9 Standard.
    The files were created in 2000 and they need to be retrieved to be put on a server.
    The files are on cds. I tried saving them on the desktop and opening from there and we still received the Insufficient Data for an Image
    I downloaded older versions of Adobe and in all of them i either couldn't open it or received the cyclic redundancy error.
    Regards

    Hello!
    You must try opening on different system
    Plus
    Try copy & paste on different location on ur system eg. C: drive or my document.
    check the attributes , hope its not on 'Read only'.
    Are all PDF files on that CD giving problem?
    -> You can use the PDF optimizer to change the pdf to that of an earlier version to see if the problem goes away
    Also i recommend you to check the links below.

  • On a web page when I open a pdf file it says download on the window and then suddenly starts opening multiple firefox blank pages I cant stop it except by using force quit - help

    multiple blank firefox pages open one after the other, can't stop them. only solution is to use "force quit" I am on an iMac. Never had this until today. Has happened now 3 times! its scary/
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I clicked to open a pdf file on a web page (i've done this many times before on this web page with no problem) ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha
