I don’t even know how to make such a problematic pdf, so I can’t do any meaningful tests regarding this; could You post the file in question?
If You have Acrobat Professional installed You could create a Fixup to remove the PDF/X-entry and see if the file converts OK then.
Or You might be able to convert it to a PDF/X-standard correctly in Acrobat.

"The file is damaged and could not be repaired" error when trying to open a PDF in Reader

A few of our employess (only 3 out of over 100 so far) have been getting the error, "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when trying to open some PDFs. Other people are able to open the same PDF files with no error. It's happening on about 10% of the time. I've read a bunch of threads here with this isue and tried some suggested fixes and nothing has resolved the issue. Here is what I have found works and does not work and the info on their computers:
Computers:
1 Dell Vostro desktop running WIndows 7
1 Toshiba Satellite C55 runnign Windows 8
1 Samsung ATIV Book 4 running Windows 8
All using Adobe Reader XI but we did uninstall that version and tried previous versions and still got the error.
Did Not Work:
As suggested by the company that we use online for claims adjustments where this error is occuring, we tried using a different PDF creator since the files were created using a free PDF creator by the employees. PDF995 and PDFcreator (pdfforge) did not resolve the issue. I then created the PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat, uploaded from my computer to the online program, and that did not resolve the issue.
Saving the file to hard drive and then opening in Adobe did not work.
Turning off Protected Mode and Enhanced Security did not work.
Compatibility View settings enabled in Internet Explorer 10 did not resolve the issue. The previously mentioned claims adjustment software company we use online was code for IE so is not fully compatible with other browsers.
That being said I did try to open the PDF files in Chrome and it also did not work. Same error message.
Does work:
I download the file they cannot open onto my hard drive, open in Adobe Acrobat, Save as a pdf, then email it to them and they can open it via email attachment.
If they close the error and continue trying to open the file over and over sometimes it will eventually open.
Is there a setting in Windows that is preventing them from opening a small % of files some of the time? Thanks in advance for any help!

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.

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)

When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)

Hi chasore,
Are you still facing this issue?
Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

hello,
When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
Can you help please?
Kind regards,
Chris

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

I just had my hard drive replaced, and now when I am online get a black screen when trying to open a pdf. Any help would be appricated

How Do I Resolve FileOpen Client Errors When Trying to Open a PDF in Acrobat X or Reader XI?

I am trying to open some pdf files received from a client that when I try to open them, I receive an error stating, "The FileOpen client has encountered an error. Please try to re-start Adobe Acrobat / Reader." A co-worker was able to open the same files with his version of Acrobat X Pro. I am not having success whether I use my version of Acrobat X Standard or Acrobat Reader XI; I get the same error with both application.
Any ideas how to resolve this.
Thank you.
Steve

FileOpen is a security add-on, which is needed to open some files. Not a part of Adobe software. Maybe you need to upgrade or report it: http://www.fileopen.com/

Adobe reader 8.1.4 crashes when trying to open a pdf link

Good morning,
We have an issue with our users. When they try to open a URL pointing to a PDF, Reader 8 crashes after trying to open the link. If I log on as an admin to the machine, the same link opens up fine. There seems to be an issue with the group policy restrictions being applied to the teachers. I look thru our group policies and could not find anything that would stop the normal behavior of Adobe 8 and IE 8 from occurring. Any assistance is appreciated.
So long,
Martin Reyes

Someone may give you and answer here, but you might have more luck in the Reader forum - this is not that forum. It really sounds like a Windows issue as you suggest, but I will let others address this.

Adobe reader won't open and closes internet when trying to open a pdf

I'm not sure when it started, but for the last 2 weeks every time I try to open a pdf file on the internet it stops and says "internet Explorer has stopped working" and will then close the window. I thought it was just a cable (internet connection) problem since we had been having issues in that area, but now that's fixed and I still cannot open a pdf on the internet. I uninstallled and restarted and re-installled Adobe Reader and I can't even open Adobe Reader much less a pdf from the internet. Please help! I've also tried installing Safari and it has the same results. I'm sure it has to do with my Reader, but I just don't know how to fix it.

I finally uninstalled Adobe Reader and found a free pdf reader program. At least now I can save the file I want to look at and can
open it with the other program. Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I learned a lot of new things. Sorry Adobe... your loss

Grey Screen and Spinning Circle When Trying to open a PDF from a website

I tried to view a pdf from a website and a little window popped up. At the time i thought it was to save the pdf but i guess it was in fact asking me to find the adobe acrobat program. I quit out of it and now keep getting the grey screen and spinning circle when i try to download the pdf. How do I get it so i can open pdfs if find on websites? thanks!

IE stops working when trying to open a PDF on the web.

I have checked the add-ons and Adobe Reader is enabled. I have the file AcroIEHelperShim.dll installed. When I try to open a PDF from a web page, IE stops working. What to do?

Thanks for your reply.
IE version 9.0.8112.16421; Adobe Reader version 10.1.3. Only in the last week IE stops responding when I try to open a .PDF file from the web – eg bus route map, catalogue etc. The messages sometimes say “error in preview handler” and sometimes “runtime error – abnormal program termination” – each time the program is terminated. The Reader opens any previous saved files OK, both downloaded from web or via email. Occasionally one from the web displays, with the error message over the top, but am unable to scroll the document or picture, enlarge it etc. I tried copying the PDF file to put on the desktop, but all that copied was the icon for the file.
