Cannot open a PDF file. Unable to save a PDF file on my MAC computer

Hi I have problems with my Adobe Reader software on my Mac... Mac OSX version 10.7.5.  It all started when I update my Adobe Reader class.  Since then, I always get a saying of the window "Adobe Reader could not open '_' 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 was not properly decoded."

I couldn't open any PDF on my desk.  I could also save a document as a pdf, but it looks like a notebook on my office file... not the normal red pdf file.

I don't know how I can fix the problem.

Hi jcs174,

If you want to save a pdf file open in Safari on your machine, use the Save as option in the player window. Simply click on one of the buttons below screenshots to save a pdf file to any location on your computer.

or

To summarize the question, if you had opened a PDF from the Internet in a browser plug-in, you must use the backup feature in the plug-in, but not the Safari file > Export PDF or file > save as...

Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.

Kind regards

Shashi

    If you use an Acrobat XI subscription, then you are eligible to use an upgrade to Acrobat DC without paying any extra.

    You can install and activate your subscription DC Acrobat using the same Adobe ID credentials and access to your PDF documents.

  • Cannot open before PDF of the iPhone

    Our customers send in emails that some of our users are viewing on their iPhone. When they send the message to other users, pdf files does not open. It gives an error message "there was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. I tried to save the PDF on the desktop, and then try to open it with no success and the same error message. I also checked to make sure that the add-in is enabled.

    We are on Acrobat X 32 bit 10.1.10 Standard and Windows 7 x 64 Pro / month last Outlook is the 32-bit version. Is that what the problem of ideas?

    We are experiencing this same problem on my place of work.

    The issue occurs intermittently, and whenever it happens, it is determined that the corrupt PDF attachment was sent from an iPhone (seems to be linked to iOS 9.3.x)

    When a PC user tries to open the PDF file, receive an error message "Acrobat cannot open 'PDFname' because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded.)"

    The file is readable from an iPhone or from the Mac OS x native Viewer (does not open on Mac Adobe either).

    Curiously, the damaged PDF files CAN be repaired by opening the PDF said on a Mac using the native application "Preview" and "save under" from there. The resulting PDF file can then be opened to PC, Mac, Adobe, etc...

    I really want to make sure you that Apple is aware of this problem and is working to patch. It seems to be an iOS problem and not an Exchange problem.

  • Cannot open the PDF in Chrome, impossible to open the standalone player, cannot accept the EULA, etc..

    I use a Mac.

    I try to open a PDF in Chrome - I open it fine in Adobe Reader if I download it. When I open it in Chrome, I get the message I have to accept the EULA and revive to open the PDF in Chrome.

    I reinstalled Adobe, restarted Chrome and it works fine in Safari.

    When I go to the applications folder and try to open Adobe Reader (which is different from opening a PDF file I recorded on my Mac). The menu bar appears but is not the "Adobe" "empty" file - nothing happens but the menu bar.

    I searched all the stinking forums and nothing seems to work. It seems to be a persistent problem dealing with simple workarounds.

    For example, I tried: Version of Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 - cannot open a PDF in the browser... - does not work

    How can I get Reader to open on its own and accept the EULA?

    First remove the following files:

    (i) adobe Reader of / application

    (II) in the folder/Library/Internet Plug - Ins:

    (1) AdobePDFViewer.plugin

    (2) AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

    (III) from ~/Library/Caches

    (1) com.adobe. *.

    Now reinstall Adobe Reader. And launch the reader Application. Here come the EULA. Accept that and now you will be able to open PDFS in Safari.

    Chrome is a browser not supported for Reader/Acrobat. You can check this in the Adobe release notes.

    I know that vmnet.tar was here before... and he suddenly disappeared. How do we do it back, or can I download it somewhere? Thank you.

    A little worrying that this file should simply disappear - never happened on any of my guests. Check the logs, etc. for possible reasons. You get also warnings much more when you run vmware - config.pl I've ever encountered. What files did you manually have to move?

    If you download the tarball, extract the file from here and place it in the folder "/ usr/lib/vmware/modules/source", then you should probably go further. Should also be vmci.tar, vmnet.tar and vsock.tar in there.

    We also have the database version 10.2.0.4 that the spfile even uses everyday cold backup of the database.

    also, I put the 777 permission to the file.

    OK, I guess there will be corruption of the SPFILE as if edited manually or in any other cases too.

    You have a backup of SPFILE? backup of the file PFILE or?

    then starting using this SPFILE, if any backup then start with PFILE and then create SPFILE from PFILE.

    Otherwise, you can copy the contnets of the parameters of the alert log file initialization and paste in the editor and the instance of starutp.

    These are the options.

  • Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

    I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

    2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).

    Hi Rob,

    I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

    Take care and let us know if you need assistance when the disc arrives. Locutys of Borg
