Unable to auto open PDFs with CS4 Illustrator

Setting Illustrator to be the default program for PDFs, I get an error saying that the PDFs are not valid win32 programs. This has been happening since upgrading to CS3. I can still drag and drop it into Illustrator and open and save just fine. It just lacks the ability to automatically open in Illustrator. anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Roger,
Are the messages that got forwared by the auto forward rule previously encrypted?
Maybe you can try below approach and see if it works. Create below registry key in Registry Editor, Outlook will automatically encrypt a message that you are forwarding which was originally encrypted:
Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security
DWORD Value: NoCheckOnSessionSecurity
Value data: 1

Can't open PDF's in Illustrator CS5

I have just recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5. Now I cant open PDF's with Illustrator CS5. Right clicking the pdf and selecting "open with" does not show Illustrator in list. Also, I have attempted to browse to the actual Illustrator .exe file and choosing this directly. It will then only open pdf with Acrobat.

Can you not open pdfs by using the Open command in Illie?
It sounds like you are on Windows.
On a Mac you can open files by dragging their icons over the icon of the programme (or an alias/shortcut of it, as in the Dock).
Not sure if that works on Windows, but give it a try.

Unable to display new PDF's in Illustrator 10

Unable to open PDF files in Illustrator 10.0.3. Using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro (via Suite) and worked to import into AI which indicates that the files are corrupted and unrepairable. Ugh...use older version of Acrobat? T

This has nothing to do with the programs, it's how the PDF os formatted. Check the PDF level. AI 10 at most supports 1.2, if I remeber correectly, meaning no transparencies, no blending tricks, no PDF layers.

Problems opening pdf's in illustrator.

When I open a pdf in illustrator, I get many individual objects and numerous squares that contain lots of information (like they have been flattened or merged). I would really like to get the objects that make up these flattened or merged areas. Has anyone encountered this before and found a way to get at the other data?

They would have to save from Illustrator the .pdf with preserve illustrator editing capabilites, or else the file is optimized for .pdf and the layers are flatttened, raster effects & images embedded. Once the file is optimized for .pdf that information is gone.
If a .pdf preset such as smallest file size was used, then images are not only comprfessed, but converted to RGB.

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time. How do I get around this?

I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs. When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions. Thanks.

Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

Open PDF with Illustrator

Tags (edit): none (add)
I have PDF files created in Illustrator; saved as .pdf that until recently I could right click the PDF icon giving me an option "Open With...Illustrator" which would then open the file in Illustrator CS4 and allow me to edit the PDFs.
Now when I right click to open with, Illustrator opens to Welcome Window as if I had just opened the program with the Illustrator icon but does not actually open the PDF.
From within Illustrator I can use the open process to go to the file location and open with no issue.
Something that tells Illustrator to open that file seems to have been lost.
Suggestions? CS4 on Windows 7

Im on a MAC witch is (right click on the ICON open with click other...
Widows its:
Here's How:
In Windows Explorer, navigate to a file of the type you want to associate (GIF, JPEG, etc.).
Click on its icon once to select it.
While holding the shift key down, right click on the icon. (Note: Holding the Shift key down is not necessary in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.)
In the pop-up menu, choose Open With... A box will open asking you to choose a program to open that file type. If you have a lot of software installed it could take a few moments for this box to appear.
Pick a program from the list.
If the program you need isn't in the list, choose [other] to navigate to another EXE file on your hard drive.

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Unable to open PDFs with AR 11.0.9 on MacBook Pro due to updates.

Beginning in early Sept. 2014, unable to open PDFs from trusted sources on MacBookPro (MBP) OS 10.9.4 running current AR 11.0.9. Previously, these documents could be downloaded and opened. Interestingly, an iMAC running OS 10.7.5 running AR 10.1.2 can download and open these PDFs. PDFs created by MBP or received via email can be opened. AR on MBP has been uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Suggestions? Please ... no "go insert this code" responses.

Hi MBP User,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall. Is this issue reproducible on other machines, if you have around you.

When opening pdfs with windows explorer I get "fatal error unable to connect to dde server"

I can't open pdfs using windows explorer. I double click, nothing happens, and after ten minutes I get the error message "fatal error Acrobat failed to connect to DDE server."
I can however open the file if I open it in acrobat, although it is very slow.
I always download the latest version of acrobat indeed did so last week. I'm on windows 7. I've had acrobat for many years on this machine and OS and never had this problem.

Hey Eric,
I’d suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader XI using this cleaning tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs and re-install Adobe Reader using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions to fix the issue.
Re-install the program in administrator mode. Locate the program icon, right-click and select as “Run as administrator”.
Let me know if the issue persist.
Regards,
Aadesh

NX 7.5 and opening PDF's in illustrator

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone one can help me here.
I work on technical illustrators using NX 7.5 and from that program export the drawings to PDF's. In the previous versions of NX the PDFs would open in illustrator fine, text would be text, everything else would be vector.
Now in NX 7.5 when I open the PDF's in illustrator the text is being coverted to outlines, but in the PDF the text is fine, it's text.
I'm working on a windows 7 64bit computer, and using CS4.
Any help or suggestions with this would be great.
Thanks,
Karleen

Hi Mylenium,
I've attached a screenshot of the Export PDF settings.
I'm not sure about the User symbols in NX - I just open the drawings and export to PDF and do what I need to do in Illustrator.
I checked my glyph substitution setting in AI, it was checked and I unchecked it but it did not help.
As for letting you see a reference PDF I can do that, I don't want to post it online... can I email it to you?
Thanks for the help.
