PDF files are unsupported or damaged

Every time I save a pdf document and then try to open it, a warning comes up that says it is either not a supported filed type or because it has been damaged. That is the only response I get, and I get it from different websites. I've tried updating Adobe and downloading a new version but it doesn't fix the problem. I run Adobe on Mac OS X and I have the newest update. Thanks

Ok the link solved the issue. When I was looking at an article using adobe, I was going "File - Save As" or "Export as PDF," which are two options that seemed to make sense. However, if I stay in the webpage and click on the save icon it saves to my desktop and opens without crashing. Thanks for the support Pat!

Need help (The files seems unsupported or damaged in LR 3.4.1

Hi
Recently I noticed that there are few dng files in my LR 3.4.1 are "unsupported or damaged" accordign to LR 3.4.1. Since using LR for 1 year, I never had this problem before until recently.
My pictures are being shot by nikon D90 in nef and then they are converted to dng format in LR. I delete my raw files after LR finish converting them to dng.
How could I recover them?

If the files are truly damaged and you have no backups and you've written to the card since you reformatted it, I don't like your odds for recovering them.
Corrupt DNGs point to some sort of hardware problem on your computer. The failing hardware could be anything along the input chain: card, card reader (or camera), usb cable, memory, or disk drive.
If the DNGs were fine and editable for a while and then became corrupt, the problem will most likely be in RAM or hard drive.

All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
Please give suggestions.

I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()

PDf files are not directly coming in search results, rather coming as a list item \

I have shared search from one farm and 2 other farms are consuming it. PDF search is working fine for one consuming farm but for the hosting farm and the other consuming farm it is showing the result as list item but not as a direct link to the document.
Any suggestion pls
When the other consuming farm uses the own dedicated search service then pdf files are coming in search result but when it is pointing to the shared proxy it is not working. But for one consuming farm it is working fine.

Hi ,
Whether you crawled the same content source using the Shared Search service application. If not, please crawl a same content, test again and compare the result.
In addition, whether you configured PDF correctly for the Shared Search, please try to configure it again as the link:

PDF files are unreadable

I am currently using Adobe Reader 9.2 on a windows xp system. For many years I had no trouble with Adobe Reader.
Currently many pdf files are completely unreadable, with some headers appearing normally, but most sections filled with garbage - random appearing ASCII characters. You can see this in the attached jpg file.
Oddly enough, if I copy part of the garbage text from Adobe Reader and paste it onto a text reader like Notepad, the text comes out perfectly readable. Also, pdf documents that are produced in a more photographic (non character) form are perfectly readable.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe Reader twice with no change in program behavior. I assume that I have a mysterious font conflict, but I can't figure it out.
What is going on?

The files are not corrupted; if I forward an unreadable pdf to another email address and an unaffected computer, the pdf file is completely readable.
Attached is the header of a typical pdf file opened with a text reader.

Thumbnails of PDF-Files are no longer available ...

Hi,
Unfortunately, the thumbnails of the uploaded PDF files are no longer available ...
Any hints ???
Kind Regards
Holger

Holger, thanks for the screenshot confirming what you are seeing.
Please click on the broken thumbnail and copy the file link from the browser location bar. Will be something like https://creative.adobe.com/file/40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013.
No one will be able to view the links (including me) but the the asset ID ("40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013") will allow for further investigation. You can also email them to me at [email protected]
As a workaround you should be able to download and re-upload the files and have the thumbnails show.

I need to import my .mov files to CS6 but the program tells me the files are unsupported. Help!!

I am working on a really important project and am trying to import my .mov files however, the program tells me the files are unsupported by CS6. How can I convert these files to something usable? Am I trying to import them incorrectly? Please help!

Welcome to the forum.
What CODEC is inside those MOV files?
What OS are you on?
If Windows, do you have Apple's QT Pro (US $39 upgrade/unlock)? If so, then you can use it to Export to several formats/CODEC's, that PrPro can use.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have Macromedia Fireworks 3.0 and the install process doesn´t run! After the installation the message is: fireworks cannot run. the resource files are missing or damaged. I use Windows 8.1

As far as I know there is no download resource for older Macromedia programs and it is highly unlikely that one as old as version 3 of Fireworks will be able to work on a Windows 8.1 system. I was unable to get a Studio 8 version installation on a Vista system, and likely even an XP system (cannot remember that far back).

I got uploaded after many ways. Just logged in windows PC and opened Internet explorer and uploaded it worked.

In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

PDF File is Corrupted or Damaged when the Attachment is Opened

Hello,
        I have three Similar forms which are triggered from Sales Order, Delivery & Shipment respectively. Now, the requirement is to send the Form Output as PDF Attachment in a mail. But the Problem I am facing is that the Shipment Output goes as PDF attachment and when opened, it is displayed correctly. However, when the Sales Order & Delivery PDFs are sent as attachments, then the Adobe Reader says
"The File is Corrupted or damaged hence cannot be opened". This is the Message I get when processed from the Delivery. For the Sales Order, the Mail Output triggers with an error in SOST.
     We have the Mail Ports open during Testing and I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Can someone give me any resolution to handle the Damaged PDF File?
Thanks and Regards,

Some PDF files are not displayed in Bridge

Hello,
here is the problem: I use Adobe Bridge CS2 to browse my large collection of PDF files, and unfortunately some files are not displayed in the Filmstrip View mode; instead a generic icon is shown (bridge1.png). Most PDF files, however, are displayed correctly (bridge2.png). Is this the problem of Bridge or of certain PDF files, and how should I fix them to make them being displayed by Bridge?
Thanks.

curt y
In fact, all files have similar type of content (research papers). However, I found out that all files which are not displayed are "protected" by the publisher such that they only can be viewed and printed, but not modified or disassembled. Apparently, this causes the problem with Bridge not displaying them. It's a pity that Bridge cannot handle them...
Thanks for the help, though.

FF thinks PDF files are binary files, doesn't give me the option to open them

I just got a new Mac, running OSX 10.7 Lion. I downloaded Firefox because I like it better than Safari. It's Firefox 7.0.1.
Aside from the fact that I can't figure out how to get all my bookmarks from the old mac to the new one, a really annoying thing is that I can't get the new Firefox to recognize PDF files as Acrobat documents. It thinks they are "binary" files, and the only option I have is to save them to disk.
I looked at the Applications preferences, and there is no entry for PDF files. I can't seem to create one. I checked the help and it says that to add a download preference you find the type of file you're interested in, click to download it, and tell it "open with" the application you want. But I don't get that option with PDF files, it doesn't let me tell it what to open it with, the only thing it allows me to do is either save to disk or cancel.

I use Internet Explorer for my browser.
A/A - I have reinstalled the latest version of AdobeReader.
When I click an attachment to view it, the first option I am given is to 'save' the file, and then the next pop up message gives me the option to either 'open' or 'view file'. The thing is that I don't want to 'save' each file to my laptop to allow me to see it. I want to be able to merely 'open' the file to view aithout actually saving it first.
