Why can't I open file that I saved 'save as'?  When I go to use the file, it does not allow me to use???

I have Adobe X.

Hi jgrubbs760,
Do you get an error message when you try to open the file? Do other files open for you?
Please provide a little more information about what's happening, and we'll try to get this sorted out.
Best,
Sara

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive

    While trying to download Oracle 8i/9i i keep getting the message
    'Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive'
    Can someone please help me with this
    i have tried to download this 10 times already but of no use
    Thanks

    I was getting a similar, if not the same, problem when I used IE 5.5 to download the file. It used to start extracting then stop about 75% of the way through and dump some error about the archive being corrupt and not being able to open it. After installing Netscape and disabling the download manager application, I was able to download and extrac the zip files with winzip 8 and also winrar without any problems.

  • I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
    When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
    You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

    I am trying to use the brightness adjustment on a grayscale photoshop CS6 file.  The preview shows the adjustment working and changes the brightness, but when you click to apply the change, it does not apply the adjustment.  I have run into this problem before, although rarely, with some other files over the years and with earlier versions of CS.  I would like to know how to overcome this problem?

    Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

  • Write File.vi does not allow for offset entry

    I am using a Write File.vi to write data to my hard drive like always but I have never used the offset before and it is not allowing me to enter an offset value and the error message does not make sense. The error says you have wired different data types but then say source long, sink long which are the same in my eyes.
    Is there a trick to using the offset?

    If you are writing to file different data types, the use of input is not allowed because it depends on the number of bytes used to store the type (that's why it should be just one type)

  • Why can't I open files typed on an older version of Pages??

    I downloaded the new updates for my MacBook Pro and this evening I tried to open a recipe which I had typed in Pages.  The new system doesn't seem to open the old version of Pages.  Is there anyway I can recover hundreds of recipes that I have saved in Pages???

    Repaired file sent via SendNow to your e-mail address. If you haven't already received it, you should shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
    There was a composition widget on one of the pages that literally thought it was 400,000+ pixels tall. I've repaired that. Anything you recall about interacting with that composition may be helpful to enable us to determine how this occurred.
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I open files directly like a normal browser instead of all the hassle of downloading and saving and browsing and finally opening?

    For most file types (exe, zip, pdf, doc, xls, etc.) the option to "do this automatically from now on" is greyed out, and for the few types of files where I can check the box, a bug prevents it from working.
    Similarly, Firefox cannot seem to handle *not* handling PDF files. They work ok with Acrobat embedded, but are extremely unreliable with external Acrobat or Foxit. Some PDFs will open, others must be saved somewhere first.

    That is an operating system function... If you are on Windows, search http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US for help with file assocation

  • Why can't I open files with Reader X??

    I received an auto update request about one week ago from ADOBE.  I had 9.4 (I think) at the time and the request took to me to Reader X 10.1.1.
    Since then, I cannot seem to open PDF files stored in my document library, nor attach any files to emails. When I click one.....nothing happens.  They files are all solid white rather than showing the red/white coloration of Adobe - like they used to before the "upgade". The only way I can open a PDF is to launch the Reader X software and click "open files" from there.  Obviously, this doesn't help me since I need to email PDFs to clients, and printing 'n faxing isn't an option.
    Here's what I've done before so as to avoid repetitive suggestions:
    1.  Uninstalled and reinstalled (more than 1/2 dozen time).  I restarted the PC in between both fuctions. Didn't work.
    2.  Tried to fall back to 9.4 after uninstalling.  Didn't work.
    3,  System restore.  Done for (3) different dates proceeeding the update to 10.1.  Didn't work.
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Thanks in advance.....

    You don't need Adobe Reader to email PDFs to clients.

  • Why can't I Open files or Place files into a document?

    When I first open Illustrator, I am able to Open files or Place files into a document. BUT, it seems that after a few minutes, I'm no longer able to do these functions.
    I keep having to reboot every few minutes! Arg! Help!

    I believe it must have been in CS4, or maybe CS3, rather than CS2.
    Overlooking the version number, I posted the solution presented here (applying to CS3):

  • Why can't I open a Numbers document saved to my MacBook Pro desktop?

    I was trying to open an existing Numbers document saved to my desktop. It took me to the App Store, but I didn't have access to a Wireless network. If it needed an update, why does it require the update to open an existing/previously saved document?  Very frustrating and completely embarrassed in front of my audience!!!

  • I  am using the G Drive Slim to back up my files, but I don't know how to tell if or when it is finished.  The white light does not change, flicker, go out, etc.  When is it finished?

    The whole story:  The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012.  I purchased a new hard drive  and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive.  Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice.  BUT I  really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate.  How can you tell when it is finished?  I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done.  Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything.  The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering.  Nothing.  Thanks for  help. 

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.
