PDF does not open in Adobe Reader 7

I am working on a project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
"There was a problem reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears when you scroll down etc. I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat 7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7 does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or assistance is greatly appreciated.
I have also posted this to the acrobat forum apologies But Desperate!

Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET). This is a problem with Adobe Reader 7.0. I cannot upload a file since the material is highly confidential (a criminal record!) I can confirm that this has been tested on several machines. The PDF is valid and can be opened in Adobe Reader versions 6, 8, 9 and Foxit but not Reader 7. I can only assume that there is something in the generated PDF that Reader 7 does not like and perhaps this is a bug since the PDF can be opened in earlier and later verions but not 7!

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

Save As....PDF does not open in Acrobat Reader

I'm using a mac with all the lastest updates.
I have version 11.0.03 of Adobe Reader
When I use Safari to view a .PDF file, I can view it with no problems.
The problem comes after I SAVE that file. So when I'm viewing a site such as http://www.lightroomqueen.com/downloads/shortcuts/lightroom_shortcuts_40_mac.pdf and then in Safari I go... FILE>SAVE AS...and select that default file name with it's .pdf extension it does save to that destination. But...when I try to open that .pdf file via Adobe Reader..OPEN...(filename.pdf) I receive this messege:
"There was an error opening this document. The root object is missing or invalid."
How do I correct this issue please?

Don't use File Save in Safari. As you can see it does not give you the expected results. Instead, use either the disc icon either in the menu bar at the top or the disc icon at the bottom of the PDF in the HUD (Heads Up Display).

PDF is not opening after Adobe Reader's upgrade to version X

Hello there!
Please I'm having a trouble relating to Adobe Reader I hope you can help me
Today I was asked to upgrade Adobe Reader to X version. Sure enough I did it
The problem is that now when I try to open a pdf file I get the message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item", as it shows in the following picture:
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bits. I've googled this issue and nothing of what I found was helpful
I'm the Administrator of this machine and had pdf opening normally before this upgrade.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problemm ?
Thanks very much in advance
Willian

Hello!
Thank you very much for your reply!
Well, I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it's still not working at all
But what I did that saved me from this issue was installing Adobe Reader version 8 (9 didn't work as well oO!)
And now it's working kinda fine with 8 version (I still get the same error message, but it opens afterwards so that's fine lol)
Well, thank you for trying to help me, I really apreciate it!

PDF does not Print on Adobe reader 8.0 or above versions

Hi SDN,
I have a webdynpro application in which I have used Adobe LiveCycle Designer for showing a pdf of Sales Order.
Now those who are using Adobe reader 8.0 or higher version, the pdf is not getting opened in their systems.
We have following:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer : 7.1
Portal : 7.00 SP9
Please tell me what can be done to open the pdf in all the Adobe versions.
Thanks,
Nikesh Shah
Any help ?

Hi Anagha,
Yes, the pdf is not getting opened in Adobe version 8 or more. I think it's bcs of the LIfe Cycle Designer's version i.e. 7.1. If we upgrade that to 8 or more, will it work?
Please help.

Pdf files not opening in Adobe Reader

As of 3weeks ago, all of my Pdf files are opening in Corel X3. How can I fix this?

tdanfield wrote:
the uninstall and re-install may work, but i'm not sure that it's the "easiest" way. it's not difficult, and it's good to know in general how to "associate" a program with a certain type of file as noted above. that approach is more "universal" and "applicable" for nearly all future needs.
That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.

Pdfs will not open in Adobe Reader 10.1.0 with os 10.6.8

I have an iMac, Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 and Adobe REader 10.1. When I click on a pdf to open, all I get is the QuickTime icon, which opens the 1st page only, but when I try to print even that page, it is blank.
I have tried dumping the AdobePDFViewer plugin from the Internet Plug Ins as indicated below, to no avail.
[file://localhost/Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin/]
This has been SOOOOO frustrating. When I called Adobe, they want to charge me $39.99 to talk to a technician! Since their download for the Reader is "free," I find it objectionable, to say the least, that they have the audacity to want to charge me on a "free" application program!
I'm ready to change to an alternative Reader, if their is such a thing, if anyone out there has a suggestion for that kind of program. I would really like to solve the mystery of why my Adobe pdfs won't open, however. This problem has been going on for about 2 weeks now, since August 7th.
Thanks.

Select a PDF file, CMD+I, check the Open With section, and ensure that AR is selected. If not, then select it and click on the Change All button. Alternatively, select Preview, which is my default PDF reader.

Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC. It is not on my PC.
Thanks for your help.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

PDF file is not opening in adobe reader

Hi,
When some users are trying to click on the pdf files then they are opening in browser rather than in adobe reader. I have checked almost all the settings that i could found for opening the files in client app. Few of them were-
1. Web application option set to "strict".
2. Document library option set to open in client application.
3. Adobe reader version is 10.1.3
I can make it work in Firefox using the pdf settings but i don't find any settings for IE 9 and above. Thanks in advance.
Ajit

Try these steps on the affected machines:
Open Internet Explorer, and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars And Extensions.
In the Show menu, select All Add-ons.
Select All Add-ons from the Show menu in the Manage Add-ons dialog box.
In the list of add-ons, select Adobe PDF Reader.
Note:
If you do not see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, try the other options on the menu. For example, on some systems, the add-on appears when you select Run Without Permission.
Click the Enable or Disable button (it toggles depending on the status of the selected add-on):
Enable sets the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to open PDFs in the browser.
Disable turns off the add-on so it does not open PDFs in the browser.
Select Adobe PDF Reader, and click the Enable/Disable button.
Also check in Adobe Reader > Preferences > Internet, look for the Allow fast web view, this is normally checked by default.

Attaching pdf files they do not open in adobe reader?

I just downloaded Mozilla as browser due to the many issues with IE. Now when attaching PDF files or trying to read PDF files they show up as a Mozilla icon or do not open with Adobe Acrobat.

Hi bboedeke,
That is because Firefox is set as default program for opening .pdf files by Windows.
There are two ways to change it.
1,
Right click on any pdf file --> choose "Open With" --> choose "Choose Default Program" --> now choose the application that you want to set as default for opening .pdf (in this case, Adobe reader.)
2,
