  • 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 sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
    Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
    to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
    1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
    2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
    3. I click Download.
    4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
    5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
    scroll bar to read all of the pages.
    6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
    7. I click the save icon.
    8. I save the file to my desktop.
    9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • 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.
    See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

  • 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.
    ==========================
    OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4

  • ITunes won't open, I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    iTunes won't open.
    I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

  • Anyone know why pdf links won't open? also- malware has hijacked the downloadable file available when clicking on Adobe's file:

    Changed OS to Mavericks & pdf links from websites won't open. I also had private browsing on  in safari.
    I have acrobat 10.1.10.  I tried to update it when prompted  by auto-updates and it said it can't because  the product has been changed since installed. that can only be the switch to mavericks osx. But it might have prompted me to get version 11 though I only have version 10 & I did the version 10 update in mid-Sept.
    Then, I tried going to adobe.com, searched "upda" and got a list of the cs items with icons, plus two text only links, one was acrobat for mac and the last one, "Update manager update (Mac OS)". It said it is to "resolve a common issue with Adobe Update manager on Mac OS". I cliucked that and got some bogus file. When I hit the button on adobe's site, it shows that the file name should be Adobeupdatemanager403.dmg or something very similar to that. Instead in the download list /box I got " installjdownloader.dmg"  I clicked it once & saw terms of service in which they will switch you to use only their search engine, serve ads, etc. So luckily I didn't install it.
    Does adobe need to investigate this malware problem? Others might search the way I did.
    Anyway, this all started because after installing mavericks, i can't open any pdfs from the web.
    Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

  • 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"
    12.  In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
    13.  In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
    14.  Type this:  /Users/[YOUR_USERNAME]/Library/Preferences/
    15.  Select the file "com.adobe.Reader.plist"
    16.  Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "com.adobe.Reader.plist" 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!
    If you want to completely remove Adobe Reader and the user specific files then proceed with this caveat and warning:
    ***WARNING***
    THESE NEXT STEPS WILL REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS ADOBE READER AND ADOBE ACROBAT USER SPECIFIC PREFERENCES INCLUDING DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATES, SEQUENCES, JAVASCRIPTS, ACTIONS, SHARED REVIEW ENTRIES IN THE TRACKER, CUSTOM STAMPS AND MORE.  IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT REMOVING THIS FILES DO NOT PROCEED.
    ***WARNING***
    17 .  In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
    18.  Type this: /Users/[YOUR USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
    19.  Select the folder "Acrobat"
    20.  Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "Acrobat" and select "Move to Trash"

  • Word and PDF Attachments Won't Open in Mail

    I bought my iPad2 in September 2011. have upgraded it to iOS5. I cannot open any PDF, .doc or .docx document. I have tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader and the Word documents in Pages or Dropbox but they won't open. All my apps are up to date.
    What seems to be happening is that Mail is having difficulty downloading the attachment. I had a 4MB PDF attachment and when I tapped on the icon it began to download, which took several minutes. I saw the byte size change from 0 to 4MB. Then I tapped on it again to open the file but the byte size dropped immediately to 0 again and the file won't open. I tried opening in Adobe Reader but got the error "The document is empty (size 0KB)" . I have gone through several cycles of downloading the file and seining the seesaw from 0 to 4MB and back again. Just won't open the file.
    Same problem when I tried opening Word documents in Pages or Dropbox. Also, I reproduced this issue with my colleague's iPad (version 1, iOS4, Pages).
    Just to ascertain there's nothing wrong with the file attachments, I downloaded the same PDF in Outlook, placed it in my Dropbox, and opened it in the iPad without any problem.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Have you tried pressing the attachment to get the "open in" message and open in VLC, iBooks, or other apps?

  • Images won't open anymore, says corrupt

    I'm having trouble with images. Images, even when they have the correct extensions, won't open. When I try to open them, I get a message that says, "It may be corrupt, or a format that Preview doesn't recognize." My feeling is that a preference or extension may have gotten screwed up after I used Tiger Cache Cleaner. Can anybody tell me where I should look and what I should look for? Or other suggestion? Thanks.

    Never mind. I figured out what happened. When I ran Tiger Cache Cleaner, it reset the compressed image preference in AOL. Thanks anyway.
