Problem Opening Text Document

Prior to a few days ago, when a friend of mine opened a .pdf attachment sent in an email, the document would open fine.  Now when she tries to open a .pdf file, she gets 2 dialog boxes as follows -
Select the encoding that makes your document readable
- Windows Default
- Ms DOS
- Other Encoding
and a second box with the following -
Wang Taiwan
Western Europe (DOS)
Western Europe (IA5)
Western Europe (Windows)
She also gets the following message -
As far as she is aware, she has made no changes to her system to cause this problem.  I don't know if this is an Adobe problem, a Windows 7 problem, or something else entirely.
Any help greatly appreciated.

  • I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

    I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help.  I get the same message. What to do?

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Making Pages the default program for opening text documents

  • Problem opening Office documents from KM

    Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
    We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
    If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
    If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
    How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
    Any suggestion??
    Best Regards

    Thank you a lot Brad!!

    Hi chasore,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

  • Problem opening indesign document (database publishing?)

    Hello
    I need help urgently from someone who has experience with InDesign files that refuse to open.
    My client has created 2 documents, and they have no problem opening it. ~They tell me it is made with InDesign CS2. I have tried to open it with CS/CS2/CS3 and even an .inx version of the file will not open.
    Error message is: < Cannot open the file "xxxx.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be op in another application.>
    The file is filled with txt file from a database, that needs to be replaced by me.
    My client has no extra plugins installed, I have asked to do a 3rd party check, but list is empty.
    Help, what can I do. I have 2 files that need to be worked in quickly. Anyone has experience by peeking into the file with a hex editor or text wrangler to see what is going on? I can send 1 file via e-mail (1.5 MB size)
    Thanks,
    Aram de Glas

    thanks for all who have suggested solutions. I have solved it in the mean time, by removing all pages except the master pages, and had it re-saved. So the conclusion is that there was something on one of the pages that made it impossible to open. My bet is a faulty image or logo

  • Problem opening Office documents from the desktop

    Hi all,
    I'm a new Mac user who just installed the Student/Teacher edition of Office for Mac 2004 (yes, i removed the trial version first), and I'm having trouble opening my documents when I double click the icons on the desktop. I get an error message that says "Unexpected error occured (error code -10660)". I can only open the docs if I open the appropriate program first.
    Is this normal for a Mac? My PowerBook is only 1 month old, and I don't want my unfamiliarity w/Macs to cloud a serious problem if there is one.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    RH

    I learned something new:
    I hit Control+Click and selected Open With and clicked Word, and I got a new error message telling me that I couldn't use that application b/c it was in the trash. The only thing in my Trash is my Test Drive version, which just expired. When I dragged the Test Drive folder to my desktop, I was able to double click any Office doc and open it directly.
    I've clearly made a mistake in uninstalling the Test Drive version. How can I fix this, and do I need to remove (and re-install) my complete version of Office to do so?
    Thanks,

  • Problem opening pdf documents with reader

    We have an hp computer running on windows 8.  It came with adobe reader installed which worked fine until about a month ago.  Since then when you try to open a pdf document on an online page, a message comes up "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, pleae exit and try again."  When you try to open other documents that have been saved to the computer a message comes up Adobe Reader Protected Mode which indicates that Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.  It then asks if you want to open reader with protected mode disabled, always open it that way or not open with protected mode disabled.  If you choose the open it with protected mode disabled this time, a message comes back indicating Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.
    We've uninstalled reader and downloaded apparently successfully the version for windows 8 several times, but without any success - same messages come up.  Sound familiar at all?  I don't want to have to pay a computer guy for something that really seems like it should be an easy fix (though I'm not a tech person, so not sure I find too many fixes easy!). 
    Thanks in advance for whatever anyone can offer.

  • Problem open "pages" documents from icloud

    Hi,
    I have pages for MAC and IPAD.  Quite often I cannot open or save documents located on icloud drive. The same document can be opened if I transfer it to local disk or if I look to it using "preview" but when I try to point to the orginal idrive location I get the message "document cannot be opened" or "document cannot be saved" This is odd enough as in icloud settings have pages enabled. The all idea is making my documents on MAC and being able to read them using IPAD or MAC at my own convenience.
    Any clue?
    Thanks,

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.
