PDF created in Excel cannot open is CS3- shows error

I saved a 4 page PDF document in Excel 2007 and tried to open it CS3. It keeps coming up with an error. 0x 4 000 000 c.
I was able to do a workaround by opening it up in Illustrator - then saving each page as single PDF's and then opening them in CS3 but that's a lot of extra work. HOW CAN I GO STRAIGHT FROM EXCEL PDF's TO CS3 w/out the error?

How is it you're making a PDF with Excel? I don't have Office 2007, but I thought you needed a separate component (e.g., Adobe Acrobat) to make a PDF.
I ask because I should think that separate component that makes the actual PDF (and the settings there) would be where you would look for the answers to this.

Hey there Px13,
It sounds like you are getting an error message after a recent iTunes update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
It will involve uninstalling iTunes and its associated applications. The links in the article will walk you through uninstalling them all.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you are running approval workflow and opening the Excel file, then it will occur the error above.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can try to create a new normal excel file and then run the workflow and open the file to test if it works. It will help to figure out if this is the file itself issue or the SharePoint issue.
Also, please provide some more detailed information such as screen capture, it will easier to find the root cause of the issue.
Thanks
Best Regards

After file encryption in Windows 7, Excel cannot open .xlsx file

I just moved all my files to a new laptop with Windows 7. I was using Excel 2007 and Windows XP on the OLD laptop. The NEW laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate and Excel 2010. I turned on file encryption (via Windows File Explorer) and now I'm
unable to open most Excel files.
The error message says: "Excel cannot open the file 'ABC.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
I can open the file just fine if I use the backup version from the old laptop. It appears that the Windows 7 file encryption damaged the file from Excel's perspective. No other applications are showing issues and not all .xlsx files are failing.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks,
Ken

This is not a solution but a possible work around to see/salvage the contents of your file. If you have a Google Account
Go to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com)
Log in with your credentials
Upload the troublesome files (xlsx, docx etc)
If you are lucky Google may be able to salvage their contents.
Once uploaded, you can always download the file from Google in a variety of formats

Excel cannot open the file

I am trying to build a dashboard in 4.5 Professional. When I open the Xcelsius file I get the following message "Excel cannot open the file 'im5.xlsx' because the file format or file extention is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extention matches the format of the file"
I went to Task Master killed Excel and then got a new message "the document 'im5.xlsx' caused a serious error the last time it was open. Would you like to continue opening it?" If I say "Yes" the message in the first paragraph re-appears. However, I then cannot find Excel in Task Manager again. I therefore assume Excel is not running but the problem persist, I cannot openthe Dashboard. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
I run XP and Office 2007. I have build many Dashboards on 4.5 and also run Engage 2008.

Hi Niel
Can you save the Excel file as 2003 compatible and try again?

I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file

Every now and then, when I try opening an Excel file, I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file 'file.xlsx' because the file format or the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension
matches the format of the file.

I see this most often when a file has been transferred around a lot and gets corrupted due to bad sectors on hard drives,
bad thumb drives, etc...
Occasionally, I find a repair utility that will....kind of....fix it. You tend to lose all formatting and usually the user
would have to spend more time doing than life than simply starting from scratch. If on a file server, shadow copies
(previous versions) are a god send.
If it happens completely randomly, does it happen more often to the same group of people? Perhaps an update malfunctioned?
Reinstall Office? Try XLSX Open File Tool for recovery your documents (http://www.xlsx.openfiletool.com/)
There could be so many reasons this could happen, but all the above is where I'd start.

Hi,
Which Excel version are you using? As far as I know, this issue is caused by malware on the affected machine.There are now two known variants of malware which causes this problem: Win32/Crilock.A and
Win32/Buma!rts. They have both been identified as a new family of ransomware.
We'd better clean your machine, run Microsoft Safety Scanner (http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx).

2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space

Hi Experts,
I am getting below error when Exporting data from my one web application to the Excel 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 ,
02/29/2012 18:54:50
Type : System.Exception, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b11a5c481859e569
Message : -2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

You want to use this one here - MMC
comexp.msc /32
THAT will launch the MMC process
as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
Right Click -> Properties.
What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user"). My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem". I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
has the right permissions to save workbooks.
Everything worked after this.
This was a tough one!

Windows Journal cannot open " ". An unexpected error occurred in Windows 7 Professional

I copied my Windows Journal Notes from a tablet with Windows XP Tablet PC edition onto my Windows 7 Computer. When I try to open a note from the pull down "look-in" menu within the Windows Journal program, I gives me the error
"Windows Journal Cannot open. An unexpected error occurred." I thought this was a problem with my computer, BUT have replicated this same error on every computer in Best Buy and other computer stores. This is not a problem with
my personal notes. This is a problem with the coding of the Windows Journal Software on Windows 7 and 8. It was also tested on a Vista computer with the same error.
Please, if someone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. I use Windows Journal exclusively on a tablet PC for my business and am afraid of upgrading from XP to Windows 7 or 8 unless I can see that the Win7 version of JOURNAL works properly
as the WinXP Tablet edition of Win Journal.
Note: I have tried recreating user profiles, sfc.exe, cleanboot, safe mode, chkdisk.... all failed. THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS THE ACTUAL CODE that is written for Windows Journal. ALL notes can be opend by hitting FILE-OPEN. However, if you
go to the "view recent notes" button and click on the "look-in" pull down menu within the Windows Journal program, you can not open the file through this. Because of the way I do my business, I need to look up various files quickly
and write notes after opening each note from the "look-in" pull down menu.
Please Help.

The problem seems to be that the "look-in" menu doesn't open the files which are located in the "Notes" folder. If I open the files through windows explorer in windows 7, the file opens into windows journal and appears in the look-in menu.
Another interesting thing occurs if you create an additional folder under my documents. I tested this on various computers in an electronic store: Windows Journal was working fine with the "look-in" menu; I was able to open various journal note
documents. Then, once I created another folder under My Documents and tried to open a journal note in that folder and then go back to the "notes" folder, I was able to replicate the same error message.
In short, it seems that once a new folder is created, the original folder "Notes" as well as the new folder, both do not allow for the files within them to be opened through the "look-in" menu. However, they may be opened from hitting FILE, then OPEN.
But, the "look-in" and Browse menu doesn't work.
Also, I looked in the Event Viewer and couldn't find anything in particular related to Win Journal. Please tell me what and where specifically to look in the Event Viewer --- I can't seem to find anything related to Windows Journal errors in the Event
Viewer.
Thank you.

Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

Help! I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
Cannot open Page
Safari cannot open the page
The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
I have had all the Apple iPhone phone. Have never encountered anything like this.
All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi.
Can anyone help, please.

I am also fixed. I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
I went to:
Settings
Wifi
I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked!
I was soo jazzed!!
Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
YIPPIE!! I'm a new man!!
Go to settings -----> WI-FI -----> select the network you're using ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.
--------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO. Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.
