PDF files won't open from email

I am unable to open PDF files when recieved by email. Is there a setting that I am missing?

You may likely find that a fully paid version does more, hence why there's a charge for it. Hoever, a google search found this for you, which should solve your problem: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/winmail.dat-viewer-letter/id395502240?mt=8

PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.

My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?

I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

PDF file won't open with double click

Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!

Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.

When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes. The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

PDF files won't open in received emails (GMail) since update 5.1.1

I receive emails with attached PDF files for my work, but since the latest update 5.1.1 the PDF files will not download on my iPad 3 wifi. The files are usually around only 50kb in size, but when I tap the attachment in the email, nothing happens. The files also won't work on my iPhone 4S after the latest update too.
I never had a problem before the latest update, any ideas?

PDF files won't open after upgrade from 9 to 10 or 11

After upgrading from Reader 9 to Reader 10, I lost the ability to open PDF files on my Win 7 laptop. Even the icons became blank white blocks. I reinstalled Reader 9 and it all worked as usual. In trying Reader 11, it happened again. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your reply. Allow me to clarify.
After installing Reader 10 or 11, the icons for PDFs on my desktop changed from the typical PDF icon to a blank white icon like when the extension of a file has been changed or omitted. Double clicking the icon no longer opens the PDF file. Yes, Reader opens but I no longer was able to open any preexisting PDF files using the new version of Reader. I did try changing away from protected mode to no avail.
I do not have a screen shot as I have downgraded to Reader 9. I have scanned thoroughly for malware and viruses and none have been found.
Thank you again. I look forward to your further comments.

Pdf files won't open on Mac

I have a Mac, OS X, 10.9.4. I recently downloaded the newest version of Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and installed it. I left my computer before the installation was completed, and it turns out it wanted me to close Firefox. I did, but it was the next day. The installation finished, but maybe a little weirdly -- I don't remember. Now, certain .pdf files (that I have opened many times in the past) won't open. The adobe page opens, with the filename at the top, and the page blank below, then the page disappears after a couple of seconds. Some .pdf files open fine. All files will open with Preview. I think I need to reinstall Adobe Reader, but don't know how. If I try to download and install, it says my version is up-to-date. Please help.

Removing Adobe Reader XI basic files from Mac OS X
*Note: These steps are for a machine that ONLY has Adobe Reader installed.
1. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
2. Type this: /Applications/
3. Select the Adobe Reader application
4. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the Adobe Reader application and select "Move to Trash"
5. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
6. Type this: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
7. Select the file "AdobePDFViewer.plugin"
8. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"
9. In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
10. Select the file "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
11. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"

** This gets rid of the BASIC items that Adobe Reader installs. There are other files that can be removed and I'll put them in after this notation, but this should be sufficient. Reboot the machine at this point to make sure everything is cleared from memory and then download the Adobe Reader installer.
Good Luck!

Help needed. PDF files won't open in IE8.

Hello guyz!
I opened a PDF file in IE8 using Adobe Reader, but it won't open. It's a 14 MB file which I got from a blog. It just stops the downloading at KB and shows an error screen. I forgot what the error screens look like. Please help me fix this problem!
Also, when I try to open the PDF file in Firefox 3 it works. But I like it in IE8.
Any posts, comments, and answers will be appreciated. Thanks!

I think that there where some issues with adobe CS3 playing nice with leopard, though I dont know if any where specific to Acrobat. I would try to control click on the PDF and downloading it, then open preview and use its file open option to see if it will open the PDF that way.
Luck

Some pdf files won't open in browser while others do - how to fix that?

Hello,
just switched from Opera to Firefox and - with the help of some add-ons - feel pretty satisfied already.
One annoying problem though: While many pdf-files will open properly with PDF-XChange Viewer plugin within the browser, there are many websites with links to pdf files where the setting "Use PDF-XChange Viewer (within Firefox)" prompts Firefox to download the file instead.
Examples:
http://www.visitbritainshop.com/nordics/travel-transport/london-transport.html
The map of London Transport (link in the middle of the site) will open within the browser
http://search.knightfrank.co.uk/ngh140118
The floorplan or the brochure won't open within the browser but be downloaded instead
I've never experienced this (in Opera) before.
What could be the reason for that? And is there a way to change it?
Thanks in advance!

While trying to find a solution for that issue, I stumbled across a post that describes a similar problem with jpegs:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/979919
One reply suggests: "Are you sure that these images are send with a proper MIME type for images and not with a generic MIME type that makes Firefox show the "Open with" dialog? "
The suggested solution, an extension called Open-in-Browser https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/
works fine regarding the pdfs in question, and is acceptable for me, although I agree with the poster from above, that " it is a bug that should be fixed instead of relying on an extension".

"MY" PDF files won't open on my website

I have a website hosted by Ipage.com. I created a PDF from Photoshop and another from Pagemaker 7 (acrobat distiller) both files open fine on my computer and other computers, but when I upload them to my website they won't open in the Internet Explorer Window.
I can view everyone else PDF's on every website I've visited, even downloaded a Free PDF template from another website and uploaded to my website to try and see if it was MY PDF's or just ALL PDF's. The Free PDF Template worked just fine on my website, so it's my PDF's that are the problem.
I've noticed any PDF I make has the Standard PDF icon and the filename.pdf. But the ones I have saved off websites have a preview of the document and say "Adobe Acrobate Document' underneath.
Using CS5, Pagemaker 7, Windows Vista...I have all the latest updates for adobe reader. What do I need to do to create web viewable PDF's?

Just a thought: Your web server may not be returning the proper mime type to peoples' browsers for your published .pdf files. If this is the case, there's nothing wrong with your files themselves.
In the root of your web server area you may need to add an .htaccess file to inform the web server (e.g., Apache) to return the mime type application/pdf for files with .pdf extensions. The line in the file will look like this:
AddType application/pdf .pdf
There's a lot of documentation on doing this on the web if you search for something like: mime type in .htaccess

Where on Windows hard drive does Firefox temporarily store PDF files that I open from websites when I have Adobe Reader configured as the default PDF reader?

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 19.0.2. I see that every time I open a PDF file from a website, it prompts me to either save the file or open it with a program (defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it is the same file name that I keep opening up over and over, it appends an incremental number to the end of the file name. To me this implies that it is download the file to a temporary location and then opening it in Adobe Reader. Where is Firefox storing these files and how can I be sure that they are being deleted regularly? I don't want these files to be kept on my local hard drive after I close the file in Adobe Acrobat.

Files that you choose to open with an external program are saved in your temporary folder. To open it, click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, type '''%TEMP%''' in the search box, then press Enter.<br>
You can clean out temporary files in Windows using the Disk Cleanup utility. The program can also be scheduled to perform cleaning tasks automatically without prompting.

That shouldn't be happening. If you try to download a file that's already in your temporary folder, it should simply open instead of being downloaded again.<br>
I don't know what could be causing it though. First, try upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. If nothing else, your system will no longer be vulnerable to the security holes in the version you're using.

PDF files won' t open in Adobe Acrobat

My Adobe Acrobat reader software on my Macbook Pro will not open any PDF file saved from the internet. I have tried re-installing the software but no joy..? OS X 10.9.4

Can the files be opened in Preview? If they can, then at least you will know that they are not empty or corrupted.
