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.

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?

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.

After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
What browser are you using and browser version?
Thank You.

I can not open documents using adobe reader because I have to accept "end user agreement". How do I get to agreement?

Preview not opening links to local file in pdf

Hi,
I have a problem.
I am generating pdf documents with, inside them, links to other pdf files in subfolders.
While I can open the subfolder's pdf file using adobe acrobat, preview refuses, with an issue regarding autorisation problems.
How can I authorize preview to open documents form my original pdf file ?
Thank you in advance.

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

Index.log - could not open document

I get error when indexing a folder.
The document with the problem is named: document.pdf
Other documents in this folder works fine.
The index.log tells:
Could not open document: W:\Doc\document.pdf-Press Quality.joboptions
This file is skipped in the created index.
What is the problem?
I tried to regenerate the pdf - still the same problem.
Is the index process looking for the joboption file when doing the indexing job?
It's a kind of weared as I use this Joboption in other documents without problem.
I use software:
Frame Maker 10.
Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

Hi Bill!
Thanks.
My version was 10.0.x
I now updated to 10.1.13. This did not help.
How I get there in the first place?
I work at a company that develops and manufactures machines and systems.
My job is to produce instruction books, manage and distribute all documentation (manuals, diagrams etc.) to our customers.
This is done by gathering all pdf-documents (wiring diagrams manuals etc.) in a doc-folder (documents are contained in sub folders), linking these documents in a master-page (main menu). (Documents in the folders includes pdf documents from other suppliers.)
When all this is done, I create an index for all documents in the doc-folder. Then connecting this index to the master page.
This makes the entire documentation set searchable from the master page.
Normally, this works just fine.
But not for this this document.
I just do not understand what the error actually means.
Could not open document: W:\Doc\document.pdf-Press Quality.joboptions
This "document.pdf" is an instruction manual that can be opened as any other pdf file.
More ideas are very much appreciated.

Adobe Reader will not open documents. Will only open the same document regardless which document I select.

Can not open document "xy.key" in keynote 6.

Hi
my yosemite crashed while working on a keynote presentation, and after reboot, while opening keynote, it says "can not open document xy.key".
Googling tells me, that in older versions your able to change the .key extension to zip, and repair that file.
In Keynote 6 this is not possible anymore regarding to file format changes.
How can I rescue my 30 Megabyte document?
Thank you for your answers.
Sebastian

If other presentations are opening without problems, the file you are trying to open is probably corrupt and unrepairable so open a back up file of the presentation

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!!!

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

Hi,
Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Thanks in advance

I think its working now.
Here is what I had to do.
Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
Reboot.
Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
Delete the users profile.
Reboot.
Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
Reboot.
Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
Reboot.
Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
Reboot.
Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
I hope the problem does not return.
Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

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.
