I have hundreds of saved .pdf documents. All of a sudden, when trying to open one, I get the message ' Adobe Reader could not open 'nnnn.pdf' because it is not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. I could always open these documents before.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Please give us more information: OS, Player version, file system you use if you know.

Error message: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot be opened 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 is not decoded)
You can "try" to save the pdf first attachment before opening it in Reader, but most of the time, that doesn't make a difference. It will confirm that the file is corrupted by email if and only not by a process involved in open it from your e-mail client.

The file you are trying to open is (you can see from the name) a BMP, PDF files no file. Adobe Reader can only open PDF files, just so stop trying to open it with Adobe Reader. The app, users of Windows for BMP files is painting.

Several files have been created and they are on my desk. When I try and open the files I have Adobe Reader could not open 'hs_err_pid14036.log' because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged. What can I do?
It seems to me that your system file associations are out of step and must be properly configured.
First, you will need to know what to use to open these files. Then you can Google how to set the file associations for any operating system you have and go and put them in the correct application.
As to why they are generated, not sure, but not something from Adobe.

Software Adobe reader could not open 'example.pdf' because it is not a file type supported or because the file has been damaged... I act not I have a problem with the 11.0.0.379 version that I have used before and I think that this problem of due before 11.0.9 version and is on the later version, including the "Adobe reader DC" the workaround that I opened the PDF file of the file in Notepad and delete the text in the top starting by <? XML 1.0 encoding and save. This fixes the problem on small files, but it does not work in larger files... How should I solve this?
If you generate files with anything before % PDF, these files are faulty. It is never allowed, but player used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure format Mac.

My hosts file has been damaged. I can't change the corrupted file
My system hosts file has been corrupted by some types of malware. I'm stuck to go on sites like google and youtube.
I have windows xp family
I know what I need to change in the hosts file, but I can't change the attributes. I tried to use Notepad, but it does not record. I guess that's because it is readonly and a file system. I tried to use the cmd commands and attribute... does not work. Don't know how to change the hosts file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

My messagestore Windows Mail file has been damaged.
My file that I use to store emails from Windows Mail has been altered somehow. It is under \AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsMail\WindowsMail.MSmessagestore
I can not get the Import Wizard to find and use the file above. I can locate if I go through my computer, but when I click on the file it just open Windows Mail.
Is anyway to fix this corrupted file? Or even just to rename so I can get in to see saved emails?
Help! Any ideas?
TIA!
The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only a database that contains information about the messages. It contains no messages. The messages are in directories named after the names of folders in WinMail and are stored individually as eml files. So if you are looking for messages, search *.eml. Seewww.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background.Steve"TinaC60" wrote in message News: cc7fde99-9a4e-4f1c-87de-cad8ab591051...Good, try repair the database and compress them. Also clean the empty files. But the Import Wizard still can't find the file. :( Thanks anyway!

We are a school in Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with Rosetta to Photoshop CS.
We would like to upgrade the operating system to a newer version, but we are unsure of our status as a license to this product.
The person who held the access on behalf of Adobe has retired and their email address has been removed. We don't have access to this email account.
How can we assign a new Member of staff on our behalf in order to determine what licenses we have and how we can buy new licenses for all additional Apple computers to add to the network.
I tried to navigate the support area, but I found I was going in circles and the titles and descriptions listed did not address our problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Ok... I'll accept that YOU're doing your job, and that others are incompetent or lying to cover up the fact that they did not do their job
