  • When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message

    When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message, "Adobe Reader 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 try to open it with Preview I get this message, "file name.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty."
    I am running  Maverick OS X 10.9.1.  What's up with this?

    Good question (I'm not a Mac guy these days).
    But Adobe Reader is only viewing the file as it has been saved. If it happens to all pdf files from all sources, I would begin to investigate your OS (and possible permissions but I'm not sure) maybe in the Apple forums.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • HELP PLEASE Acrobat Pro 8 for MAC PDF files printing all black pages (other file formats JPG and TIFF and XLS etc are fine)

    Pages print blackout  or black washout fuzzy when using scanned image to PDF creation or "Save As" PDF from JPG or other.  All other documents print perfectly.  Just not PDF's.  Worked fine up until today.  If I open JPG, print to PDF and try to print that PDF file, page is all black.  Any ideas on how to resolve?  Thanks!!

  • How can i save a pdf file to ipad

    How do I save a PDF file to my iPad without saving in iBooks?

    You will still need an app to save it to. If you don't want to use iBooks then there are a number of other free (and paid for) apps such as Adobe Reader - GoodReader is a paid for option but it supports other file types as well.

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • When I open a pdf file in Firefox and then save, how do I set the initial directory to be closer to what I want instead of a temp directory?

    When I choose to save a pdf file directly when using Firefox, it works perfectly. However, when I choose to open a pdf instead and then save it, the save directly displayed will always be a temp directory and it would be more convenient for me to choose a directory closer to where most of my files normally go. How do I change this?

    Hi,
    I partially answered your question in another posting but I feel that you´re in the wrong forum for your problem. This is for BSP development and you talk about CRM.

  • Get msg disk is full when trying to save a PDF file

    Running windows 7 and latest version of Adobe Reader.  I get the following message when I try to save a PDF file to disk.
    The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full.  Free some space on this disk & try again or save to a different disk.  The disk I am trying to save the file to has over 200gb of free sapce!!

    I found a workaround online, here's the a linkhttp://www.thedailydecibel.com/2011/10/adobe-reader-disk-full-error-message.html
    I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 plugin for Internet Explorer.  So the directions in the above link are slightly different for Reader 11.
    Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)
    Uncheck the box for "Enable Protected Mode at startup".
    I have no idea if there are any negative consequences with turning this option off.

  • When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can't select it from the dropdown

    When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can’t select it from the dropdown menu. (See screenshot).
    When I select on the left side “Computer”, then my shared drive is available. (See screenshot).

    Hi staceye,
    Where are you creating the PDF file, and what is the error that you're receiving? Is it a file that is saved in your Acrobat.com online account?
    Best,

  • I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.08) When performing "Save as" "Reduced file size pdf" Adobe processes for a while then completely stops, and has to close down. Just started doing that today.

    I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete?    I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

  • Just updated my software and now I cant open pdf's.  When it opens its all black.

    I just updated my software and now I can't open PDF's.  When I click on a PDF it becomes all black.  Please HELP.

    Try Using Disk Utility to VERIFY your Hard drive and Repair Permissions. If Verify finds problems, you will need to boot to a different Volume (such as your Installer/Utilities DVD and run Disk Utility again from there.

  • Cannot 'save' a pdf file in AR 10.0.1

    I just upgraded to AR 10.0.1. I'm running W7(64). When I download a PDF file and it is on the screen
    there is no option anywhere to 'save' the file. At the bottom of the page, in the center, appears a
    'fluttering' oval containing the Save, Print, etc options but it disappears and, after awhile, reappears.
    But in no cases will the cursor placed over any of the symbols effect any operation at all. Nothing
    happens and the 'options oval' constantly appears and disappears.
    Before I upgraded to 10.0.1, I was on AR 9. On that version, when I downloaded the same PDF file
    and it was on the screen, there were the standard AR options at the top but, then, when I clicked on the
    file save icon, I got an 'access denied' message. Not knowing what that meant, when I saw the option
    to upgrade to 10.0.1, I took it to see if that problem would go away. It did, I guess, but now have a new
    one.
    Any thoughts or help?

    This is one of the things which appears to be currently missing from iMovie 10.  The easiest workaround would be to take a screenshot of the viewer after setting it to full screen.   See also:

  • PS Elements 8 - "Save As" PDF File Sizes Huge

    In Photoshop Elements 8.0, Photoshop PDF file sizes are huge when using the "save as" function, using JPEG compression.
    No matter which "Image Quality" is used, the resultant PDF is huge. At "high" quality the file is 20 MB. At "medium" quality, the file is 15 MB. At "low" quality, the file is also 15 MB, much too large. This was not a problem in older versions of Elements. File sizes were typically just more than 3 MB.
    If I save the image as JPEG files using "maximum" (10) quality, "medium" (5) quality, and "low" (3) quality, I can insert the image(s) into Word and use the Acrobat Pro PDF printer driver to get PDF file sizes of 1.8 MB, 1.3 MB, and 1.1 MB. These PDF files are perfect. Even the lowest quality is perfectly readable for my purposes. The older versions of Elements worked fine so I didn't need to take the step of saving in JPEG format, importing to Word and then printing.
    Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements Version 8 is capable of saving PDF files in the smaller file sizes?  Is there a plug-in I can purchase that would give better results?
    Photoshop Elements Version 8.0 (20090905.r.605812) with all updates applied.
    OS = Windows 7 Enterprise (6.1, Build 7600).
    Thank you for any help or adevice.

    I'm dealing with the same situation.
    With Photoshop Elements I use to scan a picture at 300 dpi, save as PDF file, jpg compression medium low
    quality and alway got files under 5 Mb, even lower than that. Colour or black and white pictures.
    Now with Photoshop Elements 8.0 did the usual procedure but the pdf are huge, larger than 8 Mb, even more
    than 10 Mb !
    Am I missing any detail in settings program, perhaps ?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
