Preview not opening pdf documents

Why would Preview not open a pdf document?
I double click on a document and Preview starts but the document does not open. I can open the document in Safari. I have other user accounts and the same document is working properly in all of them. The sharing & permissions looks like it is correct showing me to have Read & Write privileges.

Thanks, slug. I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night. I tried that and it still isn't working. When I did the repair permissions I did notice though that there were, literally, pages and pages and pages of "ACL found but not expected" lines in tons of System and hidden folders. I mean, repair permissions took almost 3 hours!! What's up with that?

Print preview not opening with File Print command in CS4

I have been printing fine until recently, but now when I choose file > print in Photoshop the print preview pane does not open. The menus gray out, but that's it. If I select print from other programs (I checked Preview and Acrobat) the print dialog appears. I am working with CS4 11.0.2. on OSX version 10.6.8, printing with an Epson 2200. I tried deleting and re-adding the printer. I haven't installed anything new recently that might interfere.
Your help would be much appreciated!

Try a different printer driver to see if this has anythign to do with the .ppd used by epson 2200, try even adoeb pdf.
Reset your preferences.
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when restarting AI on a Mac to reset to the defaults.

PREVIEW Not opening RAW files

I have a new Canon Mark III and Preview will not open the RAW files. It had no problems with the D5's RAW's. I'm using OSX 10.4.11 with latest Quicktime (7.4.1). Maybe Apple isn't up to date with the newest RAW files? ? ? or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
Bartay

Misunderstood your question. There are some pdf files that Preview cannot handle. I suggest you send a feedback request:

Preview not opening pdf files unless they have an pdf extension

Preview will not open pdf that does not have a pdf extension. If I give a valid pdf file a random extension like .xxx, preview opens without windows. If I give it .jpg it opens with a questionmark in a window. If I give it pdf it open without a glitch.
Why cannot Preview detect whether a file is open-able or not an not give a **** about extension. This is not windows but a unix system
The problem exist when a pdf file is downloaded by firefox and not given a .pdf extention in the downloads folder. In Safari the file is opened without problems inside Safari.

Yeah, but Preview wont open the file at all, even through the open dialog, all files not associated with preview are greyed out. Shouldn't a program open a file if told to?
Yes, I agree with you. I also could not open the files unless I changed their extensions.
Also the "file" command has no problem finding out it's a pdf. I believe its an obsolete thing specifying filetype on extension, and not on content. Is is possible to get preview to open the file depending on content and not on extention.
Like I said, I think this was a conscious choice that Apple made with OS X, but I'm not sure why the decided to go that way (maybe posting on one of the dev lists would give you the answer to that).
I haven't been able to get Preview to open files once I've changed the file extension...

After installing/uninstalling Adobe, Preview not opening PDFs

I installed Adobe Reader 8 just to be able to read one lousy document on the Internet. (It would not open past a screen that said I needed 8.0).
I noticed that it noticeably slowed the opening of ALL pdf documents from the Internet -- Preview was much faster. I deleted Adobe Reader from the Apps folder, but all pdfs are STILL NOT opening with Preview anymore and they're still all slow to open. I tried putting Preview on the doc--didn't work.
What can I do to get rid of Adobe and restore Preview as the default?
Thanks!

Interesting! A combination of the two suggestions worked!
I did a right-click with my mouse, went into "Open with" and "Other" then choose Preview and checked "Always Open With." This worked with the pdf files only on my computer, but not for pdfs off the Internet.
Then, per the first suggestion, I deleted just that one plug-in and Internet pdfs now open with Preview as well! Just what I wanted!
Now I feel confident about deleting Adobe. Thanks you two!!!

Preview not opening FDF files or images

Recently the preview program has stopped working. I cannot open PDF files or image files, i.e. jpeg. The only thing I can think of that I've done recently is installing a program called "MailRaider." I just uninstalled it using a program called "Appdelete."
How best can I get the preview repaired?
Thanks,
Arturo

Hi Joe,
if you open preview, can you use the preview menu to open pdfs?
if so, go to the finder, find one of the PDFs you can not open. then click on that PDF one time. go to the file menu, chose get info from the file menu. the inspector window that pops up will include a section on open with. expand that section and click on the open with menu and chose preview. then click the "Change All.." button.
all PDF should now open with preview.
you can repeat this process with jpegs, gifs, tifs, pngs, extra as needed.

Preview not opening documents

Preview will not open documents. The open command will pull up the mini finder, then I select a PDF document (or even a JPG), click OK and then nothing happens.

Why will Preview Not open photos now?

I'm a photographer and have used Preview to open and view photos for several months now. I did so two days ago, but now when I try to open any photo it says I do not have "Permission" to open the file and directs me to Preview>File>Permission. I'm already listed to be able to read and write images, so I do not know the problem it's having.
Any help would be great.

You cannot open the email or you cannot open the attachment in the email?

Can not open attachments on recieved emails

Adobe does not allow me to open attachments recieved on emails.

You mean company Adobe does not allow you to open attachments received on emails? Or is it a specific product you're using? Which one, which version (including minor), which platform/OS? Which mail client do you use? Is it Web-based (like gmail)? What is the exact manifestation of your problem? Are attachments that you're getting PDFs? Do you download them to your computer before you try to open them?

Unable to opoen e-mail attachments and when sending an attachment receivers report unable to open.

FF 12 does not open attachments for yahoo email

FF recently updated and since then I have not been able to open attachments in yahoo email.
I know it's FF because it does not happen in IE or chrome.
I have used FF for years and it is my browser of choice. However if I can not address this issue I will have to pick another browser.

#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Mail not open attachments

Hello,
I don't understand why but I can't open Mail attachments in emails that I receive. Mail indicates the presence of an attachment (doc, docx, pdf, ...), I tap for download and once completed it I tap again but not opened.
I do not understand.

I made a mistake and had the account set to IMAP. Change the setting to POP3 and it works.Anyway this brings me to one conclusion: Mail attachments in IOS5 not show correctly in IMAP accounts.
