Unable to open XDP documents with newest Reader version

Hi,
after upgrading to the new Reader version 9.3.2, local XDP documents are blocked:
"Data from this site is blocked to avoid potential security risks."
Why are local XDP (and local PDF) files blocked?!
Choosing "Options -> Trust this document always" results in an error: "File has no name associated" and no data from the XDP file is loaded.
Can anyone explain what this error means and how to solve it?

I've fround a suitable answer. It appears as though the XDP file opens Adobe Reader first and then opens the PDF in a browser window because it's looking to the website for the address (http://www.domain.com/file.pdf).
The answer is to make XDP files open with Internet Explorer, or any other browser I would imagine. Once the extension is told to open with IE then everything works correctly.

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

Can't open Numbers document with newest version

I have the newest version of numbers installed (3.0.1- at least, I think this is the most updated!), but when I try to open a numbers document, it says I need a newer version of Numbers to be able to open it. What do I need to check/do to access my documents?
Well, nevermind. I think just quitting numbers and trying to open the document again worked.

Hi Ben,
Just a thought. Is this something to do with the document name (all those dots ".") ?
Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and choose Get Info. What does that show under Open with?
Regards,
Ian.

Unable to open PDF files with Adobe Reader v11.0, in Windows 8, using C# Process.Start()

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File")
in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8,
does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager,
but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot
this problem.
As a test, I created ta batch file, with a simple command that calls AcroRD32.exe with a PDF file as a parameter. When I executed the batch file in cmd window, it opens the PDF document. If I execute the batch file using Process.Start(), again it does not
work. The CMD window opens but, the document does not open. The cmd window just stays open.
So, there must be something with opening the PDF using the Process.start() command.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

This is something Adobe has to troubleshoot. Probably the pdf file association is broken. I suggest you to visit forums.adobe.com to ask Adobe about your problem.

Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro. when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop.
adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
any advice?
update:
i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file. it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to. but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

hey ankit,
sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
"1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
"2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
by this do you mean the correct permissions? if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
"3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent.
as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally). HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

Why am I unable to open this file with Adobe Reader?

I am trying to open the following file,
http://www.profitableglass.com/profiles/hotglass/files/profitableglassquarterlyspring%
and an error message says:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to
view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version
8 or 9 is neccesary.
I am running Adobe Reader 9.3 on Windows XP/service pack 3 and
what does Acrobat have to do with this, if I only want to view file?
Chris

This is cbuzz1, with a possible answer to my own question. From some web research and a few phone calls it appears that Adobe Reader 9.3 does not support I.E.8... I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.3 and installed Adobe Reader 8.2, and no problems whatsoever. It does bother me though that when you go to Adobe Downloads and select Windows XP-sp3 operating system, the first option is to download Adobe Reader 9.3. It doesn't ask which browser you are using...So basically I spent three hours finding out something that I couldn't learn from Adobe Tech Support...

I cannot open CS6 documents with my CS5 version, are they compatible?

please help.

In simple terms, no. When opening AI6 files with CS5 you will only get CS5 level operators so the new Gaussian blur among others will be dumbed down. You may also only get a single layer with everything together. It will maintain the same stacking order but will not have the usability of a layered file. You should get an error message like this.

Open PDF document with Adobe Reader

Hi everyone,
I am building an application to be published as an AIR app. I need to add a PDF along with the application, so the user needs to have access to this document. When the user clicks to open the PDF is there a way the document can be opened using Adobe Reader and NOT the default browser?

Unable to open PDF Files with adobe reader VI

I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader VI I am still not able to open PDF Files. When I click on the file I get a blank window with a little black box inside a White X! This black box appears in the upper left hand corner of the blank window! Please any help to overcome this issue is welcomed...Rick

You are not addressing Adobe here, just fellow users, and you are not providing enough information about your problem. Based on the little you say, I would sauy that you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

Unable to open the document when combining files.

We have a user that gets an error when combining files. It says
Unable to open the document:
<Filename and path>
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.
Retry and cancel buttons.
We get this error on every subsequent file, it works on the first one after the computer starts.
This computer has Windows Vista Business with SP2, Adobe Acrobat X with the latest patches.
It doesn't matter if the files are local or on a network drive, the same always occurs. I have cleared
all user and system temporary files, re-installed, verified the Acrobat Add-In for Word 2010 is active,
verifed the PDF printer is working fine. It only happens when trying to combine files. I have given the
user local administrator privilidges, tried with my account that has domain admin priviledges, no luck.
I really need some suggestions...
Thanks,
Tom

I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed.
This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok.
They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter.
