Error on opening a PDF download

Please do not have your subject in all CAPITALS
HI,
i am geeting the below error message on trying to open the pdf download
**"Adobe reader could not open file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email and wasn't correctly decoded"**
however on analysis i found the following
no data on PDF because the otf internal table is empty.
actually i am converting a spool containg script into pdf download.
i am working with version 3.1i , so i dont use function module and use C function to convert spool to otf and then use convert_pdf to convert to pdf.
when i debug my call function on the do loop executes once corrcetly and on the second time of execution immediately loaded with error message 'end of data' .... and so my otf conversion is not happening . ie otf_page intertal table gets empty without appending .
sometimes i get error number 2048 ( illegal line length )
i could not locate the error , as this application was working earlier good and recently got into trouble.
pl guide if i need to check any settings.
to my knowledge i found the program , layout and spool informations are okay.
thanks in advance for your clue towards a progressive solution.

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Read

Hi,
For the first time I am aware of a user has received a PDF that cannot be opened in Preview.
The pdf opens to a splash screen showing, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." There is a large button showing " Get Adobe Reader 9"
It is a 15Mb document but we cannot get beyond the splash screen in Preview so I have had to install Reader 9 for the user.
Turns out the document is a very basic slideshow. It seems this is a new (to me) format of PDF which forces users to install Reader.
Is there any way these image portfolios can be opened within Preview so I don't have to install Adobe Reader bloatware again?
Thanks,
b .

I doubt it, but perhaps others have better info...
You can ask Apple to expand Preview's capabilities here:

Personally I have never found Preview to be a complete substitute for Adobe Reader and always have both on my machine to deal with pdfs, which have a large number of possible variations in terms of version, features, and encodings.

Hi higi97,
How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
You may try to follow the steps below:
1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Delete the opm.db file.
4.Launch Creative Cloud.
Let us know if that helps,
Regards,
Rave

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

Open multiple pdfs in one acrobat window

There are many things annoying about Acrobat, but the one that really gets me is that the option to open multiple pdfs in the same window, rather than splattering them all over the toolbar, apparently has been removed in the latest versions. I have been using Foxit for pdfs for the past few years and am only now returning to acrobat because we've purchased a piece of software that requires a plugin that works only in acrobat.
Tabs are the proper solution. How long ago did Firefox shake up the browser community with tabs, 15 years ago? Where was Acrobat? For a while, they bodged together a preference that would keep them all in the same window (no tabs however), but even that is gone.

Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
"An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
Please help.

The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.
You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

3 Problems with Firefox: PDFs, Downloads, and Drop Menus

Three problems.
1) When I open a PDF in Firefox, where ever the cursor is becomes a kind of anchor from which the PDF file is highlighted. There is no way to deselect this (its like when you click-hold to select text), and it also renders all interface options with Firefox ineffective, requiring a CTRL-ALT-DEL to close Firefox and regain functionality.
2) When downloading a file, the sub widow asking if you wish to save file or cancel appears, clicking save file greys out that option, and the sub window freezes on top of all other windows. Firefox, however, remains operational. The download never actually starts.
3) Once a drop down menu has been opened, one can usually find the option they desire and click on it. But I cant, when I try to click on an option in a drop menu, it closes the menu and clicks whatever was behind the menu at the point where I clicked.
More Info: I am running Firefox 8 (I had this problem with 7 as well) on two different laptops. One laptop encounters NONE of these problems, the other does. The one that does have these problems is an ASUS U56E-BBL6 running Windows 7, my other is a Sony VAIO also running 7. Additionally, my roommate also has a ASUS, and he uses Firefox just fine.
Since encountering this problem on the ASUS, I have used IE (which I hate), Chrome and Opera. All three other browsers work perfectly and encounter none of these issues, but I miss the customization of Firefox.
Please help.

I can't help you much with BlackBerry link, but if you want to get your files on device memory right now then you can either copy to SD card and move them with file manager. Or..... enable wifi access on the phone if you have wireless, that way you can access both device and SD Memory as shared folders on the network.

Unable to open multiple PDF files in Acrobat 9 Pro - Vista

I have a staff member that is unable to open more than one PDF at a time. If a PDF is currently open and another one is selected the program will crash and close. It gives a message stating the program has crashed and must be closed and also gives an option to check online for a solution. Has anyone else seen this issue or know a fix for it? Thanks in advance.

No. Starting with Acrobat 9 it is no longer possible to open multiple PDF files in the same window.

Must always "allow program to make changes to computer" upon opening a pdf file with Acrobat

Whenever I attempt to open a pdf with AA, I get this notificaiton:
"Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer".
Running Adobe X Pro (10.1.8) on Windows 7, 64-bit. I had resolved this awhile ago, but recently had to do a reinstall of Acrobat and now the problem is reoccuring.
This doesn't happen on my two other pcs, both running Windows XP.
I believe in the past I changed the compatibilty to XP (not sure of service pack). Have tried 2 and 3 to no avail. Tried "Run as admin" and not.
What am I missing?
Thx

If I try to open Adobe by itself, without attaching it to a specific file, same thing- still got command.
But I can add this: Somehow awhile back I found the solution on line (if I recall, it was not in an Adobe forum). Kicking myself for not posting here. So I had it working, but then I recently had to reinstall the program and it went back to square one. However, I instructed the program to open with an previous version (Right click- properties - previous version) and I know can open again without getting that annoying command. Problem is I stll can't remember how I got it that way the first time. I was thinking it may have been tied in with making it compatible to an earlier version, but I just checked Properties again, and it says Windows 7, so that is not changing anything. I am sorry. I have searched and seached again to find that earlier solution, but now I can't find it! If anyone else can figure it out, please post to save the next person a bunch of time. I have spent hours on this already, searching, reading, tweaking.

Open multiple PDF's in Acrobat X Pro?

I have about 20 password protected PDF's that I would like to open in one instance of Acrobat X, instead of 20 different windows. Is there a way to do this.
I've tried merging them, but they're secured with the FileOpen plugin, and even though I have my the username and password, it won't allow a merge. Hoping to find a solution. Thanks.

No. Starting with Acrobat 9 it is no longer possible to open multiple PDF files in the same window.
