"The document could not be opened. Bad file handle."  Error

Greetings,
I have many operators opening documentation using acrobat reader 8.1.2. When the documents are opened, sometimes a change has to be done to the file. I use computer management to "kick" everyone out of the files, update the .pdf, and then they can re-open the file to see the latest and greatest version. The problem is, if not everyone is out of the file, I sometimes get a ""The document could not be opened. Bad file handle." error, and have to usually wait a period of time before it will let anyone in. I think it has something to do with the windows temp files, but am unsure. It's hard to ensure everyone is out of the document on time, as up to 50 people may be in it at the same time.
Is there perhaps a better way of publishing the new verison of the document?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

these two errors below is what I am receiving when do a program integrity scan: common program locations.
I have done a repair on acrobat reader and I do have the two dll files I even put them in reader folder and still receiving the errors.
missing file:"c:\program file\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"
"c:\program files\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"cannot access a necessary file,"msvcp80.dll
missing file:"c:\program file\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"
"c:\program files\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"cannot access a necessary file,"msvcr80.dll

  • "The document could not be opened" type problem

    My OSX 10.3.9 or G5 Hardware has recently been saying "The document could not be opened because (file) is in the Trash" The problem is, the file is not in the trash but in a folder on my HD or on the desktop. This problem happens when I double-click the icon for the file to open it (in InDesign), but seems to clear up when I drag the icon to the InDesign program to open it. Same thing happens with Photoshop documents. I've checked and neither of the files are in the Trash.

    Look in your harddrive Library folder, for a folder named ScriptingAdditions. Inside of that folder there should be a file called Adobe Unit Types. There is also one for Quark, if you have a copy of Quark.
    These files have to be there for you to double click to open these programs. It seems weird, because all of the other programs you can double click and open.
    I noticed that these files disappear sometimes during a crash. After reinstalling mine, I made a copy of them, for quicker replacement.

  • The document could not be saved. an unexpected network error occurred

    I have several users on a terminal server that access a PDF from a file server. This PDF has many fillable fields like Name: with an empty text box next to it.
    Sometimes when the users open this PDF everything is missing except the fillable text fields. If they try to save the file they get the error in the subject of this ticket:
    the document could not be saved. an unexpected network error occurred
    Obviously, this sounds like a networking error, but 2 things.
    1) The terminal server and the file server on both virtual servers on the same host, using the same SAN. Very unlikely to have a networking error.
    2) This doesn't happen to every, it seems to be only affecting 3 of about 25 right now, and it is not all the time.
    Any thoughts? I have checked to see if there were any hidden lock files, but that wasn't it. Google-fu turned up nothing.
    Thanks for your help

    Hey jdorimoto,
    Could be please confirm if you are using Adobe Reader or Acrobat (what version) to open a PDF form.
    What version of OS are you using?
    Try saving the form to any other location with administrative privileges and then check.
    Hope to get your response.

  • The document could not be opened

    I was working on a Numbers '08 document that consists of a few sheets. Last saved it an hour or so ago and now it won't open saying "The document "blahblah" could not be opened". Of course, there is no fresh backup as I have just entered a ton of data in the last few hours. There is a log being posted to Console that looks like a few lines in the form of +Numbers[538]: Object (0x3024500 of class __NSDictionary0) named "NSMutableDictionary-0" was already registered with another name "NSMutableDictionary-16".+ followed by +Numbers[538]: Caught the following exception while trying to open blahblah.numbers, * -[NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil+, followed by more lines that look like +Numbers[538]: NameKeyHashSet and ObjectHashMap out of sync: object map entry for __NSDictionary0 0x3024500 references name "NSMutableDictionary-0" instead of "NSMutableDictionary-44"+, and the last line is +Numbers[538]: Failed to open document, but no unrecoverable error+. I tried downloading iWork 09 trial, updated to the latest version in Software Update, same error. The document does display in QuickLook though. Trashed the prefs, restarted, all to no avail. Is there any app that understands the Numbers format that could be used to open/import and reexport the data, or perhaps some tool to fix the affected document? All other Numbers documents I tried open fine.
    On a (probably) unrelated note: after updating to Snow Leopard both Pages and Numbers stopped showing anything in the Open Recent submenu. Not sure it might be in any way related.
    I'll appreciate any ideas on what to try as I absolutely don't fancy re-typing all that data again into a new document.
    TIA

    Why "of course" ?
    When we work seriously, we save seriously and you didn't do that.
    Saving seriously means: save every 10 (about) minutes and keep the result of these repeated save task.
    No matter whether I work seriously or not, I have a habit of pressing Command-S every 1-2 minutes whenever it's available. I do this automatically and without thinking, ever since I started using Word 6. Used to work for me until today and needless to say, I have never seen documents get corrupted like that, for no obvious reason. If by "seriously" you mean cloning my HD every 10 minutes, then I guess I'm not very serious about saving my progress. Then again, I don't work for NASA.
    The minimal scheme is to use only save but activate the preference named "Back up previous version before saving".
    I wasn't aware of this option, thanks for pointing it out to me. Hopefully it will work for future incidents like this (although if Numbers is prone to such nasty data-losing bugs perhaps it's time to change the application).
    Given what you describe, the index.xml file describing the contents of your document is missing or corrupted.
    It's not missing, but obviously corrupted.
    You are a lucky guy as you may read the doc thanks to Quicklook.
    I guess..
    I am able to rebuild a document when the index is corrupted but readable with TextWrangler but I do that only for users working seriously !
    I might as well recreate it all from scratch.
    Perhaps I should rephrase my questions:
    • is this a known situation (a newly introduced bug related to Snow Leopard or something?) and if so perhaps someone may have come up with a way to fix the document?
    • or are there any apps that understand enough of the Numbers format that might just import the data from the document without getting stuck on whatever it is that Numbers gets stuck on?
    • any other ideas that might actually help?

  • The document "-" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the "package" format.

    Hello.

    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks,

    It sounds like you're trying to open an FCP library. FCP files are never backwards compatible. The library structure was first created in version 10.1, so 10.0.9 will not open it. You'd need to find out which version created the library.

  • Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

    Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
    When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open".  When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature.  Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
    We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing.  We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing.  We stored the files in another server and nothing.  One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder.  Another is saving the file with a different file name.
    I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane.  See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”.  No luck with this one too.
    Is definitively an intermittent problem.  The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
    This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
    Any ideas?

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:

    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject.

  • The document could not be saved. This file is already open.

    This problem recently developed.with several versions of Acrobat Reader 9.x installed. The full version of Acrobat is not installed.
    Users used to be able to open an editable .pdf file in IE, edit it and save it. Some users can no longer do this. The are getting
    the error message "The document could not be savedl. This file is already open. Users who are able to save from within a browser, are actually
    using Acrobat Reader, which opens when opening the .pdf file from within the browser. Everyone can open Acrobat Reader V 9.x, edit an editable .pdf file and save it. It is just when the .pdf file is opened from a browser application, and the reader is not also launched. Help! This just started happening.

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.

  • The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred

    Hello,
    I have scanned PDF files varying in size from < 1,000 pages to > 5,000 pages. I seem to experience this issue on and off on various files regardless of the size. The issue is when I OCR the pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, when it's completed the OCR process and I go to save it errors out with: "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred"
    I have tried:
    1. Saving to local hard drive
    2. Saving to network drive
    3. Renaming file and repeating steps 1&2
    4. File/Save as and reducing (but it won't allow me to do so without saving first, lol)
    Any thoughts? Thanks so much.
