from rpt2298The job ran successfully and two files generated in the target location. While the html files is OK but the pdf file cannot be opened with Adobe Reader. Verified that my Adobe Read is ok to open pdf files from other sources.

Do you have any password or encryption settings in your Runtime Properties?I do not think so, but not sure. Is there a way to check it? Is there a properties file.
Did I misunderstood it? but I can place both PDF and HTML files to the target location, the HTML filess are good only PDF files cannot be open by Adobe Read.

Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

Hi,
I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
thanks,
Robert.

Try opening the file using Adobe Reader.

File cannot be opened because there are no pages - Reader 9 & X

I have an old hydro bill in PDF format from 2000. I can open this PDF in Adobe Reader 8 and earlier with no issues whatsoever (i.e. double-clicking the PDF in Windows Explorer). The problem started with Adobe 9 & continues with Adobe X. When I double-click the file, Adobe opens but tells me the "File cannot be opened because there are no pages." More recent hydro bill PDFs can be opened with no issue.
Googled & searched the forums but haven't found any earlier reference to this particular error though there is a vague recollection that someone complained somewhere about this or something similar with Adobe 9 some months ago but there was no solution to be found then.
Using Windows Vista Ultimate here & have uninstalled Reader X & returned to Reader 8 pending a solution.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. Disappointing if true.
Thing is... it's an old hydro bill... I'm just keeping it for posterity's sake (a bill from when I was paying for nuclear power!?!)
Most troubling and disconcerting.
So, who should be sued? Adobe? My hydro company? ;-) Just kidding.
Anyway... some time gone by...
- re-installed Adobe X
- as per ghostscript.com, downloaded Ghostscript v9.01 & Gsview v4.9 (McAfee okayed them)
- installed Ghostscript & Gsview
- started Gsview
- dragged & dropped one of the offending hydro bill PDFs from Windows Explorer into Gsview
- from File menu picked Convert
- for Device pdfwrite, upped Resolution from the default 600 to 720
- via the Properties button in the Convert dialogue, adjusted CompatibiliyLevel to 1.2, clicked OK in Properties dialogue
- clicked OK again back in the Convert dialogue
- in the Output Filename dialogue, made the new file a "b" copy of the original filename
- clicked Save
The new file is a tenth the size of the old one & opens without incident in Adobe X. Ghostscript works well... thanks.
But... is this really the optimal solution for businesses & governments? It's not as if the old files were on vellum and here we are like old monks, transcribing for the king. Good grief where are we going?

PDF files will not open or download on my mac book pro

pdf files will not open or download on my mac book pro, cannot read bank statements etc. Any solutions would be grear

Did you try using a different browser?

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian

Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
error, Location: 2'
When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
I have microsoft 2008 installed on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
I've tried to fix it using various solutions suggested here, but am afraid am too IT illiterate to have had any luck, please help I'm new to all this!
I've uploaded it to https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkw9k6lyihzoxpc/SittwayPauktawSQUEACREPORT_KD%2BCH.docx

Project Standard 2013 'The File Cannot be Opened'

I am using Project Standard 2013 and have been doing so since 2013. Last week it suddenly started coming up with the following error message when I try to save a project and update the associated shared resource pool:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.'
I have only ever used this version, no earlier versions. I have tried to repair the application through the update/re-install process.
The projects save but do not appear in the resource pool unless both files are open. Some projects are still linked to the resource pool and show in it even if they are not open. This is now happening with all files when I try to save them. Sometimes it
says:
'The resource pool is read only, do you want to save a copy'
Even if I click 'no' a copy appears which I can't close and I have to force quit the application.
Help.

I've also tried opening the resource pool read-write. That worked for about 5 minutes when saving projects. Now it won't let me save my project without saving the resource pool first. When I try to save the resource pool, I get the same error message:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project
2000 can't be opened.'

Links in PDF files will be opened in a new browser window?

Hi all,

My browsers was configured to allow opening new pages in a new window (FireFox: Tools\Options\Tabs\ New pages should be opened in: New window ;IE 7: Tools\Internet Options\Tabs Settings\Open links from another programs in: A new window)
Please tell me any additional step I have to done
Thanks much

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob
