TRYING TO OPEN A PDF FROM E-MAIL

when I try to open a pdf from an e-mail it goes to office word and is uninteligible to read. please HELP!

Sounds like some file association is broken; repair the installation (from Help menu), or uninstall/reinstall Reader.

I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. Thanks for any ideas!

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

hello,
When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
Can you help please?
Kind regards,
Chris

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

Grey Screen and Spinning Circle When Trying to open a PDF from a website

I tried to view a pdf from a website and a little window popped up. At the time i thought it was to save the pdf but i guess it was in fact asking me to find the adobe acrobat program. I quit out of it and now keep getting the grey screen and spinning circle when i try to download the pdf. How do I get it so i can open pdfs if find on websites? thanks!

"Open" button missing when trying to open a pdf from IE6

Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.6
Windows XP Pro SP2
When selecting a pdf link in a browser the only options that are available are "Save" and "Cancel". There should be an "Open" option, which would allow the user to open it before saving it to their computer...
Any clue why this is happening?
Thanks!

Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.
Table of Contents for Job CD30A9
Guide
42ACC845.pdf
42ACC84D.pdf
42ACC84E.pdf
42ACC84C.pdf
The guide opens but not the other documents. The other documents open fine if clicked on individually. They are password protected (all but guide.pdf).
This is what I get with Process Monitor:
1:52:45.5500328 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer SUCCESS Desired Access: Read

Any ideas?

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

How do I open a PDF attachment using the Open In function from iPad mail

I Am trying to open a PDF document from my mail. In previous versions of the iOS (presently I am on 7.1.1) the open in feature of the email re organised that you had an rhe adobe reader installed and allowed you to select this to open the document. Thiis no longer working for me.

The functionality certainly has not gone away with iOS 7. What do you see when you attempt this (and how do you go about it)?
Only thing I can recommend off hand is to try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Trying to open a PDF document from a website

when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states:
Adobe Reader
Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
consequently, i can't open the document

The first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

"The file is damaged and could not be repaired" error when trying to open a PDF in Reader

A few of our employess (only 3 out of over 100 so far) have been getting the error, "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when trying to open some PDFs. Other people are able to open the same PDF files with no error. It's happening on about 10% of the time. I've read a bunch of threads here with this isue and tried some suggested fixes and nothing has resolved the issue. Here is what I have found works and does not work and the info on their computers:
Computers:
1 Dell Vostro desktop running WIndows 7
1 Toshiba Satellite C55 runnign Windows 8
1 Samsung ATIV Book 4 running Windows 8
All using Adobe Reader XI but we did uninstall that version and tried previous versions and still got the error.
Did Not Work:
As suggested by the company that we use online for claims adjustments where this error is occuring, we tried using a different PDF creator since the files were created using a free PDF creator by the employees. PDF995 and PDFcreator (pdfforge) did not resolve the issue. I then created the PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat, uploaded from my computer to the online program, and that did not resolve the issue.
Saving the file to hard drive and then opening in Adobe did not work.
Turning off Protected Mode and Enhanced Security did not work.
Compatibility View settings enabled in Internet Explorer 10 did not resolve the issue. The previously mentioned claims adjustment software company we use online was code for IE so is not fully compatible with other browsers.
That being said I did try to open the PDF files in Chrome and it also did not work. Same error message.
Does work:
I download the file they cannot open onto my hard drive, open in Adobe Acrobat, Save as a pdf, then email it to them and they can open it via email attachment.
If they close the error and continue trying to open the file over and over sometimes it will eventually open.
Is there a setting in Windows that is preventing them from opening a small % of files some of the time? Thanks in advance for any help!
James

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Trying to open a file from an older version to a new version of indesign

I'm on am mac and i am trying to open a file from the 2014 indesign with 2015 software, i am getting this error:
what i don't understand is why a newer version can't read the file of an older version

That is exactly the opposition of what you are trying to tell us.
Correct is:
You have Adobe CS6, version 8.x.
You get a file from someone else, who has Adobe CC 2014, version 10.x.
You are trying to open that file on your computer.
But because that file was created in a later version, you get this message.
Either ask to get an IDML file (with a PDF), tell them, they should go to File > Package… and check IDML and PDF export.
Better would be, if you also subscribe to the Creative Cloud to be up to date with the latest version.
But what you should do anyway, update your InDesign CS6, as there are updates available which will correct this error message, as from CS7 upwards no CS exists anymore.

I don’t even know how to make such a problematic pdf, so I can’t do any meaningful tests regarding this; could You post the file in question?
If You have Acrobat Professional installed You could create a Fixup to remove the PDF/X-entry and see if the file converts OK then.
Or You might be able to convert it to a PDF/X-standard correctly in Acrobat.

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.

Opening a pdf from a blob

Hi Guys,
I know this is a borderline ApEx problem but I have a page whose sole job is to open a pdf from a blob stored in the database.
This code works for most client machines:
DECLARE
l_blob blob;
BEGIN
SELECT letter INTO l_blob
FROM letters
WHERE lett_id = :P44_LETT_ID;
-- owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
-- tried pdf and octet they work the same?????
owa_util.mime_header('application/octet',false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
END;
On some machines I get 'Windows cannot open this file ...File: f[7] ...To open this file..........
On most machines this works fine.
I haven't got it to fail with Firefox yet, just IE but only a few machines running IE. Client getting annoyed and I starting to stress.
Many thanks
Gary

Have you already tried adding
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename...as described here?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32469/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
Maybe it solves the problem, in case IE is a little bit picky. But I really don't know.

Hi higi97,
How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
You may try to follow the steps below:
1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Delete the opm.db file.
4.Launch Creative Cloud.
Let us know if that helps,
Regards,
Rave

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.
Steve

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/
