Unable to open some pdf

anyone else having problems openning/reading some pdf files.  i have transferred them into the documents folder.   i can read them on my computer.  on my playbook, i may be able to read a few pages, then i get blank ones.  its weird it has nothing to do with file size because i can read 10mb, 12mb and 38mb files but i cannot read 1.2mb or 31mb files.

I've noticed that the Adobe Reader on the Playbook cannot open files with AES encryption created by Adobe Acrobat 9.0 or later.  Files created with AES encryption with older versions of Adobe Acrobat seem to be ok.
The Adobe Reader is extremely limited in what it can do.

  • Unable to open some pdf files

    Hi there. Sorry to bother you guys but i'm really puzzled about something. Recently I've had problems opening some pdf files (they open fine on a pc). When i try to open it, the preview window opens but i am told "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I have on several occasions downloaded the latest version, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW I am using a macbook running on leopard. Thanks!

    I don't know where bubbles went, but this just happened to me for the first time EVER using Mac OS X. I just received a pdf from a co-worker that gives me the  "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." when trying to open it with Preview. Like I said, I've never had Preview fail to open a pdf before. Has this been seen before? Is there something new r different about how this pdf might have been created that Preview doesn't handle?
    I had recently downloaded a demo of YNAB (You Need A Budget) which also installed Adobe AIR (ugh). Thinking that might have changed something, I uninstalled AIR, rebooted, but no change. This pdf is still unopenable in Preview.
    BTW, I am totally uninterested in installing Reader on my system and am hoping I can deal with this singularity.
    Thanks to anyone with any insight...

  • Unable to open some pdf files by clicking on them, but can open in Adobe Reader 10.1.0.

    When I click directly on some pdf files which have been saved in My Documents, I get an error message: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement."  Yet, I can open those same files from Adobe Acrobat, they open easily.  This has only happened with PDF files saved from two credit card companies; my bank PDFs and other pdfs can be opened without first opening Adobe Acrobat.  Is there some security block I need to undo or ??  (I am the administrator of these files.)  I have done a reinstall and a repair, but this didn't help.  (I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 on Windows 7)

    Glad to know that it worked.You can get more information about Protected Mode from the following link:

  • Nokia 9300 - Unable to open some PDF files

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia 9300 with Acrobat Reader for Symbian v1.1. Whilst it works OK on some files, it will not open others? Is there a file size limit? I have plenty of free memory on the device so it seems strange that some files will not open. Any suggestions welcome. To illustrate the problem, try opening the PDF of the New York Subway Map see http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm this is only 435KB.

    Geoff, I'm going to try that map.  Meanwhile...
    To Slim Takii and others who want to know where they can get Adobe Reader for the 9300:  Adobe's Web site no longer provides the Symbian Adobe Reader v1.1, only a link to the commercial partner that sells a PDF Reader for S60 smartphones.
    But Nokia still has the Adobe Reader for the 9300 at http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/nokia-9300/additional-res ources/software/free-software#
    What a godawful URL, huh?

  • Problems opening some PDF's with new version of Adobe Reader X

    Ever since the latest update for adobe reader has come out I have been unable to open some PDF's. This was never an issue with the older version. When I try to open certain PDF's the reader says "Not Responding" and nothing happens. This does not happen on all PDF's, just some.

    Ditto on Darrenz16's problem.  New WIN7-64 Home Premiun system with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.  Reads several files, then starts locking up when I try opening new files.  Seems like Reader is failing to release some resource and eventually running out of whatever it is.  Rebooting seems to help temporarily.  Never had this problem on previous systems.  A set of good examples are the .pdf files at the bottom of this page:  http://www.hussman.net/weeklyMarketComment.html
    I can open a few, but then Reader locks up trying to download the files.

  • Cannot open some PDF files in Illustrator

    Hi,
      One of our users is unable to open some PDF files in her ver of illustrator.
    Her version is 15.0.2 using Windows 7 64bit
    She can open the PDF in reader but when she tries to opens it in Illustrator she gets error "file not found" this is the same if she right clicks open with illustrator or double clicks, and also if she tries to open from within Illustrator.
    The file was created using illustrator for MAC and they can open the file OK, they also tried to save the file as an AI and she still cannot open it.
    I have no ideas, any help would be very much appreciated.

    kprust,
    Which version are the files created in?
    If above CS5, what happens if they are downsaved to CS5, then (saved as PDF and) opened by her?
    And what happens if she creates a PDF herself and then tries to open it?

  • I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

    I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements).  I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled.  I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files.  No problem viewing acrobat files.  I'm runnnig Windows 7,  IE9.     I can acces them through Chrome.

    RESOLVED
    I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
    1) - Libre Office - latest update.  This is a fork of Open Office.  (unlikely)
    2) - ManyCam video manipulation software  (likely)
    Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive.  When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!).   When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
    I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
    This resolved the problem 100%.
    So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems.  They may be running or installing an older version.  In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
    Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
    Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project.  Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well.  In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
    So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens.  In my case that fixed the problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • New BB Z30 Freezing, Docs are unable to Open, microSD card automatically formatted after restart, unable to open Some Pictures, Long time for Charging

    I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
    1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
    2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
    3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
    4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
    5)  My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
    I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
    About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
    About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
    I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%.

  • Can't open some PDF files

    These are probably very basic questions but here they go. I am having some trouble opening some PDF files from my school's website. I can download them just fine but when I try to open them a window pops up saying the file could not be open because there was an error.
    The tricky thing is I was able to download and open PDF files from other sources (mainly email).
    Because of that I went into Adobe's website and dowloaded and installed both Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader over the copies that I already had on my computer. Is that bad? Does the computer just write the new copy over the previous one I had without a problem or does it now have duplicated files in the program's folder that could lead to future malfunctioning?
    Even tough I haven't noticed any changes in performance yet could that be concern for future problems (crashing, computer slowing down)? Should I reformat the HD to factory settings and start from scratch since I do not have almost any info/ files in the computer yet? Or am I better off  leaving the computer as it is and not messing with trying to reformat.
    When a
    The other question I have is can there be PDF files that open only in Windows OS and PDF files that would work on both?
    Thanks in advance

    Probably you're opening pdfs using Preview. Preview is very good and it'll open almost any pdf but not 100% of them, for that you must use Acrobat Reader.
    What you did was fine, just keep using the computer.

    I have Adobe reader installed.  However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?

    That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
    Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission?
