Pdf Failed to open error...

I've been using CS5 for a few months on our new iMac with very few problems...until this week. Seems like more than half the pdfs I try to place in InDesign will not place. I have tried the Holding Shift key and the Show Options is checked, but I am still getting the error on too many pdfs. I've been having to throw the pdf into PS and save as a tiff to get them to place in InDesign. Anyone know of anything else I can try?
Thanks to all.

I heard my name used in vain? (Actually, I'm in Ghent, Belgium right now for the quarterly Ghent PDF Workgroup meeting!)
Yes, I certainly do have strong words against the practice of refrying of PDF files via distillation of PostScript output by Acrobat!
Rather than using the refrying hack that effectively kills live transparency, color management, etc., I would suggest using the preflight capabilities in Acrobat 9 Pro to find out and fix the actual problem as opposed to simply masking it via refrying it.
If the OP has a sample of such a PDF file that refuses to place in InDesign that they can share, on behalf of Adobe, I'd be glad to investigate what's actually going on.

    Native client tools seem to be okay, just 3rd party browsers (we have the same issue with Safari and Chrome). I am assuming that Microsoft have introduced some function with their update last Tuesday/Weds evening.
    Nothing on the microsoft site, any help greatly appreciated.

    I'm Using Microsoft Outlook web app, I'm not facing any issues.
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

    I had a similar problem for a while and found that
    downloading and
    installing the latest drivers for my NVIDIA graphics card
    solved it.
    It's worth a try, Ozmart.

  • 'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac

    Hi,
    Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
    I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

  • Failed to open pdf error on every document

    Today I came and started placing pdf documents in Indesign CS3 like I always do, and suddenly I start getting "failed to open pdf" errors on every pdf file I try and place. I have tried all the suggested tactics of selecting show import options, changing the crop to bounding box, etc. Nothing working.
    I also tried to open the pdf in acrobat and export into a different format or optimize it using the pdf optimizer, but when I do that I get gobbly **** text on the pdf. See screenshots
    The only workaround that works is to save as a raster image. But this is incredibly time consuming. I also tried importing these same files into Indesign cs 4 and I get the same errors. I am wondering if this is a system wide issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
    I noticed all these pdf were created using cs4 and above. Not sure if this helps.

    Hold the Shift key as you click Place or turn on Show Import Options in the Place dialogue.
    I get this from time to time. Here’s what I think happens: You placed a PDF with Import Options showing so you could select a different crop method, like bleed. This becomes the new default import option for PDF files. But if you import a file with no bleed data InDesign gives an error message instead of either jumping to import options or telling you the default crop options are unavailable for this file. I would call it a bug. I have encountered it from at least version 4 (aka CS2).

  • Fail to open PDF file. Error for trying to paste in object.

    So occasionaly, i will paste in a PDF into my InDesign document and this error will pop up, Fail to open PDF file.  It's not like im opening
    the file im just trying to paste it in.  I try other pdf files and the same error comes up.  Usually this error does not happen when i am pasting in
    PDF's into my document but when one error comes up, no PDF's will work.  I have to resave my file into another format and then it will work.
    What is up with these errors that happen sometimes?
    CS5 ID 7.0.3
    P.C.

    Try it again...this time click the show options check box in the place dialog.

  • PDF Printer and Acrobat fail to open or run or anything else.

    Hi
    Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 has been installed on this TS2008 (VM) server for over a year without problem until recently.
    To start, the Adobe PDF printer stopped creating PDFs. When it worked a user would print and the PDF (creation) progress bar dialog box would open and the Adobe Distiller icon would appear in the taskbar (swirling) and a PDF would be created. Now we get the progress bar but no Distiller icon and no PDF is created.
    Then Adobe Acrobat Standard (editor) failed to open any PDFs. We installed Adobe Acrobat 9 reader which opened PDFs for a while and now that has stopped working.
    After many uninstalls, reinstalls, reg cleans we decided to open a case with Adobe who told us that Acrobat 9 is not supported on Server2008. The customer purchased Adobe Acrobat X.
    We installed Acrobat X (in terminal server mode) and all was well for around 24hrs and then it all stopped working again.
    I have since uninstalled reinstalled again. I created 1 PDF and after that the progress bar just hangs. We performed a controlled user logon to the server and all was going well until one user logged in and he isnt able to open Acrobat to read or edit PDFs.
    There are no events logs which appear to directly relate to this. We were concerned about a HpBIDI driver which no longer errors but we do have a large amount of EventID 7036, ServerControl Manager Eventlog provider and EventID 4 SpoolerWin32SPL.
    We have since been back to Adobe Support who advised us to unplug the network cable which we cannot do as its a hosted VM (with no access to the the VM console). He then asked us to remove the server from the Domain which we can't do as this is a single live server. They intend to come back to me!
    We are really at a loss here for idea's, can anyone please provide some clues?
    Thanks

    Hi billu54860732,
    Try running the Repair command from under the Help menu to see if it corrects the problem.
    The probable cause of the error is, multiple processes of Acrobat/Reader running in the background.
    If 'Repair' doesn't resolve the issue kindly follow the steps mentioned below and check, if it helps.
    1) Press CTRL+ALT+DEL together
    2) Go to the Task Manager
    3) Go to Processes in the Task Manager and kill al the processes related to Acrobat/Reader.
    4) Launch Reader/Acrobat (It should launch without an error).
    To further isolate the issue you might want to run Acrobat/Reader in an environment where no other services are running.
    This can be achieved via "MSCONFIG"
    1) Click on start type run
    2) Type MSCONFIG in the run prompt
    3) Go to services and click on hide all Microsoft services
    4) Click disable all
    5) Go to the startup in configuration window and disable all startup items
    6) Restart your system
    7) Launch Acrobat/Reader
    If, it is launched without an error, a service on your system is conflicting with Acrobat/Reader.
    Let me know if issue persist.

    Aadesh

    Hi Nislina,
    Could you please let me know how do you solve this issue.
    Code:
    if lt_binary[] is not initial.
    *     add attachment to document
             call method document->add_attachment
               exporting
                 i_attachment_type      = 'PDF'            
                 i_attachment_subject = 'My Attachment'
                 i_att_content_hex      = lt_binary.
      endif.
    Thanks & Regard's

  • Failed to open the PDF file

    I have to place a large number of PDF files. Sometimes I get an error: "Failed to open the PDF file". In the InDesign Forum I found that this also happens in the GUI from time to time and that the workaround is to turn on the Show Import Options. But this is obviously not an option for me.
    Is there any alternative?
    Thank you, Ralf

    When you retry, is it always the same PDF?
    Otherwise I'd play around like
    - catch the error
    - perform some potential cleanup of resources (files, memory), e.g. SaveAs, or a Close-Reopen cycle
    - retry the same PDF
