Cannot open a PDF file that is downloaded from the internet

For the past two months, PDFs a lot (but not all) cannot be opened after being registered.

The message is Adobe Reader could not open "Worlds most competitive cities IBM 2013.pdf" because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).

What is a solution that a layman can do?

Jerry Hultin

It is a Safari problem

Go to: Mac/HD/Library/Internet Plugins

Trash the files AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

Empty the trash.

Relaunch Safari and you can download a PDF file without error.

  • Why the html file that I downloaded from the internet will not open in Dreamweaver?

    I tested other pages to index and their linked pages and they opened in Dreamweaver.  I applied the same steps to this file, but it still not open.  All of this linked pages / index associated is open in Dreamweaver, but not the index page itself.  When I double click on the index.html file, it opens in the browser and the links work.  If the file is damaged in any way can it be repaired?  I checked the index.css file, but I see nothing wrong with it yet.  Can the html or css file contain code that prevents the files open in Dreamweaver, and yet still be opened in a browser?

    Of course, you have all the support files.

  • How can I change an icon with a custom icon that is downloaded from the internet (i.e. not already in the file "bowse icon")

    I want to customize my desktop icons to make it easier to read. When I right click, select Change icon, select Browse, I see all the icons I want to use. I downloaded a custom on the internet and saved on my desktop icon, but I don't know how to replace the old icon by this news.

    Tried to drag on the old icon without success.

    Hi Larry,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from your description, that you cannot change the folder icon with a custom icon uploaded to the Internet.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem could be caused because you may not have selected the right path or the location of the file that you downloaded or the downloaded file may be damaged or does not work or does not exist.

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    I recommend you to check or find the location of the file or path where exactly you downloaded and to check whether the file is actually present in the location and also check the file is fully downloaded and work very well.

    a. Subsequently, navigate to the folder that you change the icon and right-click on the folder.

    b. click Properties, click the Customize tab, click change icon, and click Browse.

    c. Select the correct path inside the menu drop-down or enter the correct path manually from the exact location of the downloaded file.

    d. open the file downloaded for the icon, choose the name of the file and click Open to select the file, and check to see if it helps you.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to download the file once more on the Internet and save it in a new folder and check the issue.

    Hello

    I'm not very technical interest, please bear with me. I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I downloaded a song from Vodafone Live! I thought going to my phone mobile phone as a ringtone, but finished in my music player.  I managed to get it on my phone, but its way too long.  As I said I need only as a ringtone.  When my phone rings I get the beginning of the song, but miss the best bits! So, which defeated the purpose of buying the thing.

    Thanks in advance.

  • PDF files downloaded from the Internet, record of error

    Hello

    Files PDF that is downloaded from the internet is put in error while it is stored in one location. He says: "disk you save or the disk used for temporary files is full. We checked its fine all permission. This is not the case for all Seems PDFs. as occurs only for the PDF files downloaded from the internet. Tried all the quick fixes available on the internet, but still of no use. As disabling protected view/view pdf in the browser. Problem is still not resolved. Please help me with this.

    OK, this photo shows that, for this file in particular, he arrived without security (she won't say "SECURE").

    My money is on the files actually being assured, rather than to be wrong in Acrobat.

    That leaves two main possibilities.

    1. all the files you want to secure. It is now a very common practice. If the files are public we could take a look; If not, you could ask the creators.

    2. you have certain processes in your organization that adds security for downloaded files. That seems unlikely, but it is not impossible. And the fact that it didn't happen in the cases we have tested suggests that it is not done universally.

  • I have updated to DC (about a month) and cannot save my PDF files more.  What is the cause of the dialog box "Save as" do not open?

    I have updated to DC (about a month) and cannot save my PDF files more.  What is the cause of the dialog box "Save as" do not open?

    Hi mwebsterdps-sc,.

    Try this: -.

    The default "Save as" dialog Acrobat DC is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Edit menu access-> Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:

    I would like to know if it works.

    Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

    I have 9, 1 pages in PDF files that are accessible and the need to combine them into 1 PDF file.  I tried adding, adding and the combine process of PDF files. The file created does not take my changes. The file created is partially accessible, but I have to re - the problems that I had fixed in the unique files. I need suggestions on what else can be done, if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

    By habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page pane by right-clicking thumbnails then 'Insert of Pages'-> 'From File'. For me, this preserves the tags of these two documents, although the tags may have to be moved to the correct location (if I remember correctly the tags for inserted pages are put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), if I put the tags in the document to insert into a container as a Section tag It makes the process easier. Travel set of tags in the right place is the only re-fixing that I remember having to do. What behavior you encounter?
