Trouble opening pdf files on version 9.4...

Hi, I recently updated (10/7/10) my Adobe from 9.34 to 9.4 and now I'm having trouble opening my files that were working fine with 9.34.. I read the other post but the problem still seems to occur for my mac..the error message I am getting is..
Adobe Reader could not open 'maher39767_0324639767_02.11_chapter11.spdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I reinstalled Adobe and I'm still getting the problem...
Please help.

Does this happen with any pdf or this particular pdf ? If it happens with this pdf only then may be the pdf is not properly downloaded or may be damaged.

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.

  • Unable to open pdf file using version 9.5.0 and 10.1.2 / Windows 7 HE / IE 9.0

    My issue is very similar to Elaina920.
    I have Adobe Reader version 9.5.0, running on Windows 7 Home Edition, using IE 9.0.5.  When I attempt to open a pdf document from a secure site, a new window opens, but nothing happens....just a blank (white) screen.
    When I try to do the same thing using IE 9.0 64-bit edition, a new window opens and I get a "Do you want to save...." dialog box.  But when I click on Save or Save As and attempt to save it as a .pdf file, I get a "[file name] couldn't be downloaded" message.
    Things I've already tried:
    - IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Security / Custom Level / Downloads / File Download is enabled
    - IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Programs / Manage Add-Ons / Adobe PDF Link Helper is enabled
    - Checked for Adobe update and got "No Updates Available" message
    - Ran Repair Adobe Reader Installation and re-started PC
    - Upgraded to version 10.1.2 and applied patch program  ==> no change in how the program works
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Ed.

    When using a 32-bit browser, the PDF document should open in the browser (using the Adobe Reader add-on).
    When using a 64-bit browser, it will ask you if you want to save the document, or open in Adobe Reader.
    If neither of these methods work, then it is the website that does not let you download the document (for whatever reason, e.g. server overload).
    Try if you can open this document: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.2.pdf

  • Parameters for Opening PDF Files in Version XI

    I have an application that opens a PDF document using Reader Version 7 - 10 at a particular page.
    In Version XI this feature has been removed or changed and I can't find any documentation on Opening parameters for latest version.

    Due to your answer I have done some further testing and it appears Version XI does not accept spaces in the file name.
    If I remove the spaces in the file name it works fine.
    I have tried enclosing the file name in single and double quotes but no luck.
    I am using Delphi 7 and calling the routine Shellexecute with application parameter
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
    and run parameters
    /A"Page=33"C:\MP5\Manuals\1145009 Operating Instructions.PDF
    The above works fine with version 7-10.
    With version XI it fails to find the file.

  • Trouble opening pdf file on a Mac

    We have recently published a digitalised map for anglers in our municipality. Several Mac users report that they cannot open the file. What can be the problem?
    File is made in OpenOffice 3 and converted to pdf directly from OO. The map itself has a non-standard sized page.

    Your link is incorrect, as it has "http://" at the END of the URL. If I remove that, I can view the PDF fine. A few normal pages, then a massive map, then a few more pages.
    Did you make the map on OS X, on another platform? Do you have Acrobat? You might want to try "cleaning" the PDF in Acrobat by saving as an Optimized PDF. (You could try exporting it as a PDF from OS X's Preview app, also.)
    Did you ask the Mac users what OS version, browser, etc they were using? Were they viewing the PDF inline inside a browser? Were they using Adobe's PDF browser plug-in, or OS X's built-in PDF rendering ability?

  • Trouble open pdf files.  saying damaged files

    Recently PDF files that I can open and view from online will not open once saved to documents folder.  I get a message that says that the file is damaged.  I have reinstalled adobe reader and ran system update. 

    That works great all right, but if you need the plugins then you've got problems.

  • Cant open PDF files. Cant open Adobe Reader x

    Hi, I am running windows xp pro. I am having trouble opening PDF files and I cant open adobe reader x. I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled. I have stoped all antivirus services.

    Could you please elaborate a bit more as to what happens when you open a PDF. Do you get some sort of an error or dialog? If so, please post the contents of the same.
    Also, please let me know the version of Reader installed on your system. You can find the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.

  • Trouble opening pdf's after installing Yosemite

    Recently installed Yosemite. Trouble opening pdf files e-mailed via Gmail. Opens fine on my iPhone, which is not running Yosemite. Any suggestions appreciated.

    I do this all the time, using preview.
    If you're using Adobe Reader, delete it completely and all should work fine.

  • I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

    Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
    Rave
