.pdf will open in Reader, but not Adobe Acrobat 8.0

I have a large document that was created in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and apparently the file was damaged (it's also 4.5 GB). I can open it in Adobe Reader 9, but when I try to open it in Acrobat, it shuts the program down and there is no history of it being opened. I've tried opening it back up in Acrobat 6.0, but it says the file is damaged. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to remake the document?

I do not know how you created the PDF. You might try going back and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Open AA6 and then select the file that way. Does this work?

    Probably not.  How's your 3G connection?  I ask because I've had issues when the 3G connection isn't strong.  Same with WiFi too, actually.

  • PDF files opens in Adobe Reader  9 but not Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
    He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.
    I can open the same PDF file with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
    If  I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
    Happens to my administrator account as well.

    So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
    In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
    She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

  • Form is fillable in Reader but not in Acrobat

    I created a fillable, saveable, password protected form in LiveCycle Designer 9.0. It works as intended if opened with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat X. But when I email it to myself at work and open it in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro, it's still password protected, but not fillable. Why is this?
    I have a previous incarnation of the form that does work correctly in both Reader 9 and Acrobat 7 Pro. Somewhere along the way I made some changes and now it doesn't work. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

    Hi,
        Interactive PDFs created in Adobe Livecycle will work with the target version, which will be configured at File > Form Properties > Default: Choose version to run form.
       In you case what i assume (bad to say) but, you have created a PDF that works with Target version 9 or later for both Acrobat and Reader. So, when this sort of PDF form is opened in the earlier version, it provides undesirable results, and will not work properly. (For every new target version Adobe provides new functionalities to create PDFs.)
    and as per the password, Adobe Acrobat has already provided with the security features in it, it works.
       So, Create an Interactive PDF on setting the target version 7.0.5 or later, and i think that should work.
    Apologize, in case i am misunderstanding your question.
    thanks,
    Rajesh

  • PDF Portfolio will open in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome

    I have a PDF Portfolio linked on my site.  I can open it fine in IE (version 9), but it will not open in Firefox 21 or Chrome 27.  When I click on the link, I get the message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later."  Even though I can open it fine in IE and I know I already have the correct version, I click on the link/button to download now.  It says it installs successfully, but I still am unable to open it in the two browsers.
    Any advice is appreciated!

  • Websites will convert to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 but not Adobe Acrobat XI

    Hello,
    We have noticed that there are several websites that can be concerted into a PDF using Adoble Acrobat 9, but do not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. An example is the website http://amseventsubc.com/. This site converts with no problems using Adobe Acrobat 9, but will not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. When one tries to convert the website (by going Create > PDF from Web Page > Capture Multiple Levels > Get entire site > Create) it starts to work for about 10 minutes but then stops and crashes the program.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
    Is there any reason why a website would work in an older version of Acrobat and not the most recent?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, we are actually not looking to have active links but rather to have the content from each link saved as part of the PDF (We are looking to convert the entire website's content to PDF). On Adobe X you can normally append any link so that its content will be converted and added to your PDF, however, this can't be done with XML links. 

  • PDF shows boxes (squares) in Reader but not in Acrobat

    When opening certain PDF files in Adobe Reader it shows boxes/squares at the end of some lines (see attached jpg file).
    When i open this same PDF file in Adobe Acrobat everything is normal (no boxes/squares).
    I checked the fonts, but these seem to be normal.
    Does anyone has any idea how to solve this or where this problem comes from?
    Any ideas are welcome...

  • PDF's viewable in Reader but not in Pro

    I have a user, that in the beginning, everytime he opened an email with a PDF attachment, it would open in Internet Explorer. We found where that was resolved, but then the PDF started opening in Adobe Reader. He has Adobe Professional 8 installed. I saved a PDF to his C: drive, went to the c drive and right clicked on the file, did a view file types, and it was pointing to Internet Explorer. I scrolled down to locate the Adobe Professional, and the only Adobe in the list was Adobe Reader. I did change that, and now he can open PDF's from emails into Adobe Reader. However, he would really like them to open in Adobe Professional. (All his applications now open PDF's to Adobe Reader)
    We have attempted to uninstall the Professional, rebooted, and reinstalled, and the professional adobe is still not in the view file types.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Following up on Bill's post, if you are using Outlook, there are add-ons that override the Windows file associations. There are add-ons for other email clients as well. Disabling add-ons for any email client would be a good next step for troubleshooting.
    You might also double check your security settings in your mail client and internet options for your browser (particularly IE) to make sure those settings allow pdfs to be opened from the web, or whatever the Windows folks are calling things nowadays. When I had IE and Outlook, my IE settings affected my Outlook. Could be similar for your configuration. Anti-virus installations and programs like Altiris could also cause issues, but the others users would be have the same problems too, which is not the case.
    Regarding file associations, you have detailed trying the different resolutions presented here and in response to your previous post for the same issue (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2391275#2391275). If I read correctly, the current system configuration now does not have Acrobat Professional installed, but does have Reader. The next step would be to eradicate Reader from the user's system. After uninstallation, remove the folder left behind and remove any remaining pdf file associations if they still exist. If you are comfortable editing the registry, you could also search for any leftover references there. Reinstall Acrobat Professional, check the file association for PDF and make sure it points to the Acrobat Professional executable. With add-ons disabled in whatever email client is in use, see if the issue still exists.

  • How to make .pdf's open in Reader and NOT Photoshop

    I am using Adobe Reader X, v 10.1.1 with Vista.  I also have Adobe Photoshop installed.  When I try to open a .pdf file, it automatically opens in Photoshop instead of Reader.  Is there a setting I can change somewhere to ensure that pdf's automatically open in Reader instead?
    Thanks!

    If you are using Windows XP. you can do the following (any other OS will probably be similar).
    Highlight a PDF on your drive. Right-click, choose "Open with>Chose program". Select Reader then click the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

  • File will open in CS3 but not CS4?

    I recieved a tif, 161.806"x138.889", cmyk at 72dpi. When I try to open the file in CS4 I get "end of file error".
    I have to go back to CS3 and open it, save as psd then it will open in CS4. Any idea why?
    thanks

    There are some files written by CS3 with bad metadata that CS4 could not read.
    Or it could be written or modified by a third party program, and CS3 is ignoring the corrupted part.
    I fixed a few cases like that in Photoshop CS5.

  • File opens in Reader, but prints with Acrobat

    Hi
    If I double click on a PDF file it opens in Reader.
    If I right click it and select 'print' it will attempt to print using Adobe Acrobat 5.
    I think Adobe Acrobat 5 is required for some old systems my company uses.
    How can I change default behaviour on my machine so that right-click print is done through Reader and not Acrobat?

    In Run type regedit and open following registry path(Second part may differ from machine to machine):
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-762979615-2031575299-929701000-XXXXXX\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf
    On the Right panel ,right click and Add "String Value" by the name "Application" and then Modify(Right Click) this "Application" and add Value data as the name of application by which you want open pdf file.Eg. If you want to make Acrobat as your default application ,put Acrobat.exe or put  AcroRd32.exe if you want Reader as your default app. Similarly put the name of corresponding .exe for other pdf Readers you have and you want to make a particular as your default app.For knowing the name of  exe of other Readers, just check in “OpenWithList” just below .pdf(on left).
    I hope it can solve your problem

  • Way to force .pdf to open in Reader and not in browser

    I saw where there was an Acrobat action called
    Convert PDF2FDF auto-save Action on the AcrobatUsers.com Action Exchange.
    which didn't work, it came in corrupted and unusable.  Does anyone know of an action or anything that will force a .pdf hosted online to open in the visitor's Reader program and NOT the browser they are in...?  No matter what browser.
    Any help you can give me with this is appreciated.   Looking for a consistent user experience here where they can fill in the information on the pdf form, save it and email it without too much hoopla.
    I am really surprised after all of the work I've put into this that this is not something that is more easily accomplished, but perhaps I am doing something wrong or don't have enough information.
    Thanks!

    Actions can be tricky, Are you aware that the method of encoding Actions or Batch Processes changed between versions 9 and 10 and again between 10 and XI?
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
