Why doesn't it open PDF document attached inside MS Word doc?

working on snow leopard and office 11
I received a file word doc file with an PDF embedded (reproduced on file as icon). Going over the file with the pointer, on the bottom bar is suggested a double click to open acrobat document, so Microsoft Word recognize it as an embedded file PDF type.
Double clicking on it return is following error: "Word cannot locate the server application for AcroExch.Document.7 objects".
It seems that Word is not able to locate the Acrobat application, I went around word preferences and option but didn't fined nothing about it.
Any suggestion?

Please post Word releated quesitons on the Microsoft Mac forums. Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

Hi All,
Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
PDF is already in the folder options
Any ideas?
Toni

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

Why won't Safari open PDF-documents after uninstalling Adobe Reader?

Hi.
I wonder why Safari won't open a PDF-document after I uninstallet Adobe Reader. Prior to my installation of Adobe Reader, Safari opened PDF's without any diffyculty.
I've tried to reset Safari but it didn't seem to help at all.
What do I do?
Thanks
Mike

There might be a residual plug-in interfering with Safari's PDF opening capabilities.
Installed plug-ins are listed via Safari > Help menu.
They are located in
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
and
~/Library//Internet Plug-ins
(tilde is home folder)

Hi, Try downloading the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. Hope it works.

Why can't I open pdf documents after using Adobe Reader security?

I have been able to open pdfs perfectly well up until I changed the security settings on Adobe Reader. As I read somewhere that Apples have an inbuilt pdf reader I trashed everything Adobe, but still can't open pdfs. Tried using Preview to no avail.
Is there some other way of opening pdfs without reinstalling Adobe?

You didn't think of mentioning that in your first post? So it's not Adobe Reader or Preview you are having problems with. It's pdf's in your browser!
For Safari, you need to remove the adobe pdf plugins which Adobe apparently screwed up. You need to remove:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
I think you can "get away with" removing just the second one. But both for sure should allow you to open pdf's in a browser (all browsers).

Cannot open pdf file embedded in MS Word

I cannot open pdf documents embedded in a Word document. 'the error message given when I click on the pdf file is
"Word cannot locate the server application for
ArcoExch.document.11 objects"

Probably the wrong forum.
I guess your best bet is to extract the pdf file from Word, and then open it.
Make sure you have Adobe Reader or similar installed for reading the pdf.

Why can't I open a document in Adobe Reader?

Why can't I open a document in Adobe Reader?

I have been having the same issue since January. Oddly, I can read the docs that I scan as pdf on my iPad but not on my Mac or PC. I receive the following message:
"Adobe Reader could not open '_____.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)."
It doesn't matter if I use Safari, Chrome, etc.
I have the most up to date Adobe products.

Opening pdf documents in browser impossible

Hi there all,
have problems opening pdf documents in safari window. On all of my macs (except for the macpro) pdf docs open in the safari browser window using the pdf plug-in. Installed plug-in list tells me that adobe pdf-viewer plug-in is available. Why doesn't it work ? Running Firefox, same problem. Application asks what to do : open with preview app (standard), but no other possibility, although I have latest adobe reader app. installed, as well as acrobat professional 8.xxx.
What is going wrong ? It seems pdf plug-in is not found or recognized. Help !

Hi
You can view all pdf doc in solman itself just select the same and click display icon or just double click it it will open in solar01 or solar02 itself but wait for some time to get it loaded.
whereas if you want to open the doc in explorer just click the attributes and generate url and paste the same in explorer.
You can view in explorer this way.
If you are facing any issue in the above standard procedure please contact your basis team for the same.
Please reward points.

Do you have, or have
had, both Reader 8 and Reader 9 installed
at the same time in your machine? If you have, you must
do as graffiti

Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37 hangs and freezes opening PDF documents

When opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37, it hangs and freezes for a few minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix or work around?
We have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit operating systems. It takes a moment for the Adobe Reader to unfreeze itself but will eventually.
Thanks!

Found a fix for my problem. It wasn't the Protected Mode issue after all. The fix is to disable In Product Messaging.
Here is the fix for the problem. Now maybe Adobe can address this issue in the future release or patch/update.
Try it on yours and see if it doesn't fix it also.
The following below link provides the information I am about to share with you.
But open Adobe Acrobat Reader without opening a PDF file. So just open Adobe Reader application by itself.
1. Click on EDIT
2. Click on PREFERENCES
3. Click on GENERAL Category
4. UNCHECK "Show me messages when I launch Reader"
5. CHECK "Don't show messages while viewing a document"
This should fix your problem as it fixed mine. See the link below for more information. Looks like I will be doing a regedit script for our network users to get rid of this problem. UGGGHHH!!!!!!
Hope this helps!

What to do?

Hello Jean Carney,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving PDF documents in email on your iPhone, but are unable to open and view them. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for information on how to open PDFs from Mail using iBooks. If this is the process you are going through and it is not successful, please let me know which part in the process is not working as the article would suggest.
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Opening PDFs with iBooks
You can open PDF documents, such as a PDF attached to an email, with iBooks:
When you view a PDF email attachment, tap the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Tap Open in iBooks to open the attachment. iBooks will open, and you can view your PDF.
When you use iBooks to open a PDF, iBooks will automatically save a copy of the PDF to your iBooks PDF shelf. These PDFs will sync to your iTunes Book library the next time you sync your device with iTunes.
Have a great day,
Joe

Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top. One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past. I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation. Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades. Thanks

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

missyzz,
which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

Why doesn't Acrobat XI, pdf created in Corel Vetnura 10, print to my Epson Gluntz & Jensen ictp Plat

Why doesn't Acrobat XI, pdf created in Corel Vetnura 10, print to my Epson Gluntz & Jensen ictp Platemaker?

We aren't in a position to provide any reasonable response to this type of open-ended question without significantly more information.
Exactly what symptoms are you seeing? Are you getting a failure message from Acrobat? If so, what? Are you getting a PostScript error at the printer? For that matter, is it PostScript printer of some type? If part of the job prints, what doesn't print?
More information and maybe be can assist you!!
