Pdf reader not opening files

Safari will not download/display most pdf files. Says "adobe reader doesn't trust it". Files are okay. Pdf reader is not. Any ideas of how to get this laptop safari to behave?

Problem appears solved thanks to post I found elsewhere on this forum. My thanks to anyone who pondered the pooryl described (I now realize) issue.

I have downloaded reader but it is not opening any files - I just get the File Downlaod box with th eGetting File Information message but the PDF never actually appears.

Try opening the following PDF: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
Also which browser and its version are you using?
Also try to open a already downloaded PDF in browser by drag-dropping it into browser.

Reader not opening files in IE

When browsing with internet explorer, PDF files will not open. get the little "x" in top left of field. I;ve run the repair program, checked add ons and it is enabled. Using Mcafee, but I don't see that it is blocking ir, or maybe I just dont know how to check that. Any help is appreciated.

Under Manage add-ons (All add-ons), do you see Adobe PDF Reader, and is it enabled?

Hi Vimal,
When you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SharePoint Server integration is enabled by default. However, for a richer user experience, you can do the following:
Install Microsoft Dynamics CRM List Component for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 server or Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.
Enable Document Management for Entities: Select the entities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM for which you want to create and manage documents on SharePoint Server. More information: Enable
document management for entities. When you enable document management for an entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, a Documents link under the Common group in the left pane is added for the all entity records
in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web application. You can use the Documents link to create or manage SharePoint Server location records for the entity record.
Specify the target SharePoint server: Specify the URL of a site or site collection on the SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint Server 2013. This URL is used to automatically create folders and document libraries
on SharePoint.
For more information, please refer to the blog:

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

Adobe reader X will not open files on the web

Adobe reader X will not open files on the web. It works fine on off-line files.

Hello Ray,
Please try following steps:
1. Run the installed Adobe Reader X.
2. Click on Edit in the menu bar.
3. Then click on Preferences in the drop down menu list.
4. Click on the Internet category on the left pane.
5. Now, make sure that Display PDF in Browser option is checked.
If above steps doesn't work then let me know which Browser you are using, may be we have to do some settings there.

Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Your input is highly appreciated!
Thank you.
R

Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

Adobe Reader could not open "file"

Adobe Reader could not open "file" because it is either not a supported file or it has been damaged. All files and programs on the desktop are shown as Adobe Reader ikons. When I remove the Adobe Reader program, the desktop is ok but when I reinstall the Adobe Reader it makes a mess again on the desktop and in all programs. It seems that the Adobe Reader is somehow a default program for all applications. How do I solve that problem? Best regards Helle D.

For your first question: are you sure that 'file' is a PDF file and that it is not damaged? And you may find this useful for your second question:

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.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Adobe Reader DC not opening files - What do I do?

I recently, April 14th, updated my Adobe Reader to the latest DC version. But, as I am trying to open/download files I've received via e-mail or from online, DC comes up for about 1 second before disappearing/closing. I saved some documents to my computer and tried pulling them up that way, and it works this way. But, I don't want to save every file. I'd have to save the file, go to the Downloads folder, open to read, and delete if I don't want it or re-save if I do.
That can I do?
I have an HP Pavilion laptop, Windows 7.
Thanks much.
G.

pwillener, Thanks for trying to help, but, though I disabled protected mode as you mentioned, Reader DC is still not opening files I'm trying to download. It's just coming up for a few seconds and closing.

May well be, and going back to FX21 worked. I'm open to ideas.
Had the same issue with ROBOFORM and FX 22 which was acknowledged by Mozilla. Their suggestion to go back to FX 21. FIxed it. Just need to turn off automatic updates.
Putting 2 and 2 together. Had similar issue with IE. Can't get video on IE9. MS had me go back to IE8. Works fine.

Context Menu Verb "Read" not "Open"

I have an application which uses ShellExecute(hWnd,"open",pFile,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED ); to display attachments. The pFile can be any type of document including PDF. On a Vista machine with Adobe Reader (8,9, or 10) in the User's Temporary directory it does not work for PDF documents. When I right click the PDF document the Default Verb is "Read" not "Open". (If I replace the "open" in my call to "read" it works, but I can't do that is it can be an arbitrary attachment).
Looking in the Registry for the Shell verbs only "open" is entered. If I use "Open With" to set the default program to "Notepad" it opens the files in notepad. If I change it back to Adobe it goes back to "read".
I did not set this machine up and there could be some "interesting" permissions, security settings, but would these cause Adobe Reader to change the verb to "read" from "open"? (And if so, how do I remove the settings?). I am also running as administrator with full read/write access to the directory?
I trawled the Internet and could only find one other person with this problem, but no solution...

Any new results on this issue?
We could resolve what seems to be the same probleme by fixing the registry.
We had a domain user on a machine (Win 7/64bit) with only a "Read" entry in the context menu for pdf files.
Using ShellExecute('open'...) in a similar use case we had the same result as ceeebeem.
Adober Read X is installed on all of our machines.
Other users - especially a "fresh" user - on the same machine haven't got this problem.
We started regedit for the specific user and found
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = pdf_auto_file
Other users had:
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = AcroExch.Document
The entries and subtrees under:
     HKCR\AcroExch.Document and
     HKCR\AcroExch.Document.7
were identical for all users.
Reinstall or Repair the Acrobat Reader X did not solve the problem.
Also reassign the extension by "Open with..." did not work.
But deleting the "HKCR\.pdf" entrie for the specific user did the job.
After a registry refresh the .pdf-entry reappeard for this user as:
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = AcroExch.Document.
So this seems to be a problem of registry virtualisation.
(May be another program with not enough access right has produced this virtual HKCR\.pdf entry.
In our case the Foxit Reader was priviously installed (and later removed) on this machine. But this is just a guess.)
EDIT:
Hm maybe editing HKCR was not a goog idea because according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/en HKCR is build from HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes. So values should be edited there...
But problem stays resolved, may ba as a side effect.
