Unable to open exported PDF

I am using Firefox on Linux (SimplyMEPIS), and Buzzword works
fine. But when I export the document to PDF, there are a couple
things:
1. The name of the file is always Buzzword.pdf, regardless of
the document title I defined when I saved it. This does not happen
when I export to RTF (that takes the document title).
2. I cannot open the exported PDF file. First I tried with
KPDF, then installed the 'official' Adobe reader, Acroread. But it
still says "There was an error opening this document. The file is
damaged and could not be repaired". I've exported the document
multiple times, same result. And when I export to RTF I am able to
open it without a problem.
Great product, by the way - I found out about it through
DL.TV.

Hi SimplyMEPIS,
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
For Firefox under Linux, we're providing limited support. We
have done some testing and we believe it works well, but we're
interested in your feedback. Please be sure to upgrade to the beta
version of Flash Player 9 update 3 available at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/,
and also be sure to adjust your preferences as described in the
initial page you'll see when visiting the application in Firefox
under Linux.
Meanwhile, we are looking into this issue and will update you
soon

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!

As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

Adobe x unable to open any pdf, or change properties

Just had an update to Adobe reader x and now I am unable to open any pdf email attachments, any saved older pdfs on local or network drive. Followed a thread on here from last fall, and attempted to open the properties of the reader, but this caused a run-time error and crashed the program completely. Update of the program was difficult, as I could not get the adobe website to work with MS IE. and ended up loading Firefox to get the download.
System is Windows XP professional, SP3, 2gb RAM, and working flawlessly prior to the update.
any current ideas of repair or patch without rolling back or going to alternate pdf readers?

Reader X Unable to Open certain PDFs

Ok so heres there issue..
A client of my company is unable to open what seems to be random PDF files which are sent to them, after doing some testing I found a very strange bug.
While running Windows XP - I am able to open any PDF file from an outlook email attachment so long as it is stored in memory (select the open option instead of save as). This works with Reader X, Reader 9.x, and Acrobat Pro.
While running Windows XP - After saving any PDF document to my hard drive from an outlook email attachment I am unable to open the PDF file using Reader X. Reader 9.x and Acrobat Pro both open the files without a problem.
This poses a major issue because we cannot control what version of Reader our clients use and if they are unable to open PDF documents that are saved to their hard drives from emails using Reader X what do you suggest we do?
Note: I don't believe this is related to the known Reader X issue where people cannot open PDFs from a web page.
Any help or troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

i too have problems with reader x. in hotmail
i can open any pdf but when displayed the documents
are in computer code. only microsoft office doc
uments are opened in a readable format.
this problem on ly started after installing latest versio

Unable to open/save pdfs

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 I am unable to open/save pdfs from citibanks site. I using a Apple Macbook Pro running MAC OX X 10.6.7.
I have no issues saving opening/saving pdf from other financial institutions.

This is not the usual behavior of Acrobat. If it were people would be howling. Possible culprits: virii and other malware (Some of this subset are in the same work-group, people that work together spread the same files and virii). Incompatible graphics cards (however, new and old machines make this unlikely). If you are all using XP then perhaps the firewall or virus protection being used by the core group of people is the same and is causing interference. If it was only one or two out of many, I'd suspect hard drive corruption or faculty memory but with the numbers you are talking about very unlikely. Bad fonts cause problems and they can certainly be passed around a work group. The last possibility is that for the some number of people the uninstall of the earlier version was incomplete. But again, why just for those in the work group...
Lots of possibilities, but no answers. Sorry.

Hi,

Your question sounds like it is related to PdfWriter as that is how you're saving the file. These forums are for MS products. Please post questions related to third-party products in their forums.

I have Acrobat Pro DC and Adobe PDF Pack and I am still unable to open a PDF file from my outlook.

I have Acobat Pro DC and Adobe PDK Pack and I am still unable to oepn an PDF filed from my Outlook. So I have to save it on my computer but then I can only open it in Adobe Reader. Please help

Hello courtneym48375386,
Could you please let me know what version of Outlook are you using.
Please try opening some other PDF file and check if the same issue persists as this might be a document specific issue.
Also, what happens if you try opening the file in Acrobat?
Let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
