Trying to open PDF in captivate 4

Hi,
I am trying to create a link to a pdf document using the open url or file action in Captivate 4. My problem is that I will eventually be creating a CD to run this from and whenever I move my files, I can't open the link.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jana

Hi there
I suppose there may be a way to do it by using Flash to create a file that would do it. But I'll have to leave that to a Flashy type person to answer.
I really do wish that we would hear from Adobe on the matter. It's quite perplexing!
Cheers... Rick

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
Use this link to download it automatically:

I/O Error when trying to open pdf file

I keep getting an error when I am trying to open pdf files from the internet or emails that are sent with pdf files. I am not able to view any of these pdf's - just the i/o error I receive. Anyone have anything to help me on that?? Thank you!

Please post in the forum for the software you are using to read PDFs -
the Adobe Reader forum for example. Good luck,

How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

I am trying to open pdf in Pro and not Reader. Please advise how I can fix this.

Eric-
FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat this one for Acrobat
But, since I have had this same issue myself...
On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
Good luck.

Trying to open pdf and Adobe Reader Stops Working...Please Help

Trying to open PDF and it keeps popping up that Adobe Reader Stopped Working. And doesn't seem to find a solution to fix. Has been going on for a couple days. Can't access pdf files needed for my business.

With Reader XI I assume you mean 11.0.0; try updating to 11.0.06.
Also, can you open Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

How do I stop word trying to open pdf docs?

Word keeps trying top open PDFs. How do I stop it?

Whoo hoo! That's just what we needed.
Well, we seem to have confirmed that
(1) Your DOCX files are opening in Adobe Reader, and
(2) Your PDF files are opening in Microsoft Word.
Now, we had a go at fixing this but it seems pretty tangled up. It may be better to just forget double clicking and use File > Open in Word for DOCX files, and File > Open in Adobe Reader for PDF files. If you're having trouble even doing that, let's focus on getting that bit working for you - let us know the problem.
(NB Because things are messed up you CANNOT rely on the icon to decide on the type of file. Use Properties to look at the file name or type).

Error message when trying to open PDF from Sharepoint

I get an error message they says "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect." I am running IE9 and Adobe Reader 11, this also happens with IE10. I have made sure that everything is running correctly, but it isn't opening the document within IE like it is supposed too. Any ideas?

Hi Melissa ,
Could you please share the screen shot of the error message so that we can have an actual look at the error and would be able to assist you better.
Is this happening with all the PDF' you are trying to open from Sharepoint or some specific one'?

Error code = 0x40010015 when trying to open PDF in PS CS3

Greetings:
I'm having a problem opening a PDF file in Photoshop.
This is the error message:
Error Opening the Portable Document File
(PDF) Document. Error Code =
0x40010015
Searching the Adobe Forums, Knowledge Base, and even Google has turned up no results. Any idea what the problem may be?
My process has been taking a PDF file created from QuarkXpress (6.5) and opening it in Acrobat Pro (8.1.2) and doing a save as and replacing the current pdf. Then I open this new PDF file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) and apply actions. No problems. Then I encountered this one file that won't open in Photoshop, but will open in Acrobat, Preview, Illustrator. I get the following error message.
I'm using a G5 PowerPC Mac (4 x 2.5 GHz Processor) with 6.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM for memory. Mac OS X version 10.4.11 (haven't switched to Leopard yet) Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium software package.

I receive an error code = 0x40010015 when trying to open a PDF in Photoshop CS3 for windows.
I do not have Illustrator to open and re-save as the forum discussion indicated.
Is there another way to open a PDF with this error code? I work with Quark, Photoshop and Publisher

How do I get rid of "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open pdf in the Reader

Hi
How do I get rid of the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open a pdf in Adobe Reader?
I had a trial of Dreamweaver but it was too complicated for me.
There was no where to cancell the free trail so I let it run its course and expire. It then deleted the programs which is fine (I didn't want to buy them) but it also deleted my Acrobat Reader.
I have re-installed that but when I try to open a pdf, all I get is the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" screen which only allows you to buy or exit and them exits all together.
Needless to say I am very UNIPRESEED with Adobe for messing up my programs and now they want to charge me $29 dollars to sort out a problem they created.
Can anyone help me to sort out this very anoying problem?
Regards
David

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
No I have not deleted anything, this all happened automatically when the trial period ended.
Other than an old version of Photoshop (version 7, for which I do have a serial number, I don't have any other Adobe software - just the reader which is now not working)
I was trialling Dreamwever but couldn't get started with it so am paying someone else to set up the website using Wordpress.

Internet explorer tries to open pdf in my old v6.0 acrobat not newly updated reader v9.0

When I try to open a pdf online Acrobat v6 tries to open it so I get an error message saying that v8 or v9 reader is required. I have v9 reader and it happily opens pdf files sent as attachments etc, as the default, but ie is defaulting to the old version of Adobe. How do I re-educate it to default to Reader v9?

Thanks - I was going to resort to that, but I still need Acrobat as I use it
create pdf's a lot. I don't want to pay for an upgrade to Acrobat as v6 does
all that I need.
My PC happily defaults to reader v9 to open pdf's on my computer, it is only
ie that insists on trying to use Acrobat v6
Any ideas? If I do as you suggest, but then reinstall Acrobat I assume I
will still have that problem?

My iPhone is trying to open PDF Mail attachments with tiff viewer

I receive my faxes via email. They are delivered as PDF files. Sometimes when I try to open them on my iPhone, it says that it cannot open the tiff file. The attachment is clearly named with a .pdf file extension, but the iPhone still tries to open it as a tiff. Other PDFs open fine, but it treats these as if they are tiff files.

George is correct. XFA forms (which the mobile Reader does not support) are often built with a generic error (like the one described) page that displays for Readers that do not support these document types.
