Sometimes it takes 4-5 tries to open a PDF file

Hi
I and several colleagues are experiencing problems when we use adobe reader to open pdf files.
Some are using the latest version other ver. 10.1.6.
It dosn't matter if the PDF is placed localy, on a network drive or on a webpage.
I tried removing, and reinstalling, but no difference.
Best regards JAcob
PS. I'm running win 7

Please disable all other activities like Antivirus and then Try ...
Or
Try to Test the issue in a clean boot environment .. See if it occurs ... Please follow the below link for Clean Boot Environment : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
if that doesn't happen in a Clean boot ...Then Reader working fine . There might be some other process which is the culprit ...

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

    I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
    This is my error:
    "File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
    I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
    So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
    Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

    Your question sounds like it is related to PdfWriter as that is how you're saving the file.  These forums are for MS products.  Please post questions related to third-party products in their forums.

  • I'm trying to open a PDF file but keep getting error message "Access denied."  Help.

    Every time I try to open a PDF attached to an email I get the error message "Access denied."  How do I fix this?

    Actually my son directed me to a help site run by a guy named Brian Stevenson.  Here is what I did --
    1.  Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader XI
    2. Go to Edit>Preferences
    3.  Click on Security (Enhanced)
    4. Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    5. Click Yes when dialog box open to remind closing of application
    6. Click OK to save
    7. Exit Adobe Reader
    Worked like a charm!!

  • Why is my comp trying to open my pdf files in excel?

    why is my computer
    opening pdf docs in excel?

    I don't know what OS you have, but in Win7 you can (and since XP at least) right click on a PDF, select Open With, and select Acrobat. There is typically an option to make this default for the future for this extension. How it got messed up may not be determined. You just need to fix the problem with the file association. If it happens in the future, try to remember the last thing you did that may have caused such a change.

    Hi johnc,
    I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How Do I Resolve FileOpen Client Errors When Trying to Open a PDF in Acrobat X or Reader XI?

    I am trying to open some pdf files received from a client that when I try to open them, I receive an error stating, "The FileOpen client has encountered an error.  Please try to re-start  Adobe Acrobat / Reader."  A co-worker was able to open the same files with his version of Acrobat X Pro.  I am not having success whether I use my version of Acrobat X Standard or Acrobat Reader XI; I get the same error with both application.
    Any ideas how to resolve this.
    Thank you.

    FileOpen is a security add-on, which is needed to open some files. Not a part of Adobe software. Maybe you need to upgrade or report it: http://www.fileopen.com/
