"There was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and could not be repaired." by e-mail

I get "there was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and cannot be repaired." Sometimes it works, but more often than not I get this message when you try to open a PDF well my IMAP email server. I also have the latest player adobe downloaded on my computer and I have run Norton 360, which is to day saying my computer is free from any malicious dishes. Help, please!

Hello ErikAtkinson,

You can try saving the PDF file on your desktop before trying to open it.
See if that helps with corruption problems.

If this isn't the case, then I suggest that you post in the forums Adobe for Adobe Reader. I have included a link below:

They better be able to help with their product.

Sincerely,

  • Adobe Acrobat - 'there was an error opening this document. The file is not found.

    Guys,

    I have a virtual layer to Adobe Flash player, with a point of entry to Internet Explorer. Apart from that, we used Thinreg to associate pdf files with a Thinapp copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (using the allusers switch). We find that, while trying to open online pdf files, Acrobat Reader load then shows the error "there was an error opening this document. The file is not found. If we save the file and open it works very well.

    I am positive that it is a problem of isolation somewhere in the config layer of Acrobat Reader, but have not been able to track it down. It is probably that the Acorbat layer not looking outside of himself for the temporary internet folder that contains the pdf file that IE has cached?

    Everyone falls on something similar and has a solution?

    Matt

    Try to set the modes of insulation for your temporary folders (%temp%, % internet cache) merged to your package of IE. In addition, in our environment, we put % internet merged cache%/contents.is5. Not sure if it makes a difference.

    The total error is: there was an error opening this document.  The size of the file exceeds the limit and cannot be saved.

    I don't think that player had a size limit?  The file is only a few hundred MB.

    Try to disable the Safe_mode at startup, launch Adobe Reader, go to the Edit menu > then click on Preferences > click (improved) security and uncheck the box enable protected at Startup Mode > click OK.

  • There was an error opening this document. Access denied.

    Greetings,

    When I did my taxes last year (March 2012), I downloaded PDFs of the IRS.  Form 1040 was an accessible file for writing, and I filled the need.  This file was saved on a Vista on XP machine.  A few months ago, I upgraded this pc for Windows 7 SP1.

    Today, I'm about to do my taxes for this year.  When I double click on Form1040.pdf of last year, I get the following error message:

    There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.

    Interestingly, I can open other files pdf, as the form 1040 Instructions.  I don't think I have my Form1040.pdf password protected.  The reason I think that it is not password protected is because I'm not be prompted to enter a password.

    I copied the file in an old detached machine XP (XP Home Edition, version 2002, SP3) I have and it opens fine.  He did not ask for a password.  I have printed copies of forms of year last of this XP machine, so this isn't an emergency for me, but it's slightly annoying that I can't understand what is wrong.

    I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.2 installed on two machines (the Windows 7 machine and the old XP machine).

    To sum up, it was created on Vista, I can't open it with Windows 7, but I can open it with XP.

    Normally I would consider loading the file in question, but in this case, I hope you agree that maybe it's a bad idea!

    Tips to make it work on Windows 7 would be appreciated.

    Access denied means that there is a kind of permission issues.  Check the permissions for your user id in this file.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Greetings,

    I searched the forums, and this mistake has been examined in the context of how to treat a damaged PDF file.

    My question is a little different. The company that I am working has a tool to create what we call "knowledge base articles", i.e. product XML authoring with us help topics. They used this tool from 2008. Files can be attached to a topic. The XML files and attached PDF files is stored in a SQL database. Using the TOC Panel or the search function, relevant topics are retrieved.

    When there is an attached PDF, users can view the PDF in the browser or download the file and open it locally.

    The knowledge base has been moved from an environment of database SQL 2005 in Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 for an environment database of SQL 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

    Now that we have the following problem: in some subjects the downloaded PDF can't be opened and one error

    "There is an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired. "is displayed. The curious is that some PDF files published this error, while others open without a problem. Source file all PDF files open without a hitch before they are downloaded.

    Any advice or pointers would be very appreciated.

    TIA, Donna

    Donna,.

    as you have probably read in a lot of discussions on this matter, this error message is usually correct, and the PDF file is damaged. As for how it gets damaged, it's something you need to know by poking around in your system. Here are a few general things that always apply when working with corrupt files:

    The first thing I would do is open such a file corrupted in a text editor such as NotePad to see what it actually contains. Any valid PDF file must begin with '% PDF -' followed by a version number. If you don't see that in the first line, then you are not dealing with a PDF file and you know why you do not get the file saved in your knowledge base.

    If this string is there, then you know that there a PDF file and the issue is somewhere in this file, and is where it gets much more complex. You will need a good understanding of the PDF specification to parse the file to see what is wrong with him.

    If you're lucky, you'll actually have a file of length zero (which means also no PDF header). No valid PDF file cannot be zero bytes long. Your second chance case would you find in fact an HTML error in this file (instead of PDF content), that tells you the reason for the problem (but again, this depends on your system).

  • Why do I get the message "there was an error opening this document. Access denied,"trying to open PDF files?

    After the registration of PDF files in my files, I am unable to re - open. I am also unable to re - open the PDF files that are saved on drives shared by other users. This occurs regardless if I'm the person who created the PDF, or if I save it from a source such as an attachment. I am able to use Acrobat to open the files, but I shouldn't use Acrobat to open the files. Reader to open these files. No idea why the drive is not open files?

    Hey ANP55

    Try this, open Reader & Acrobat access to the Edit menu > Preferences > advanced security > disable "enable the Mode protected at startup.

    Let me know if it solves your problem.

  • Problem opening of PDF files (there was an error opening this document. Access denied)

    Hi guys,.

    I understand that I will need to go through all the post before posting anything (and I googled and searched as well) but I really tried everything, they suggested in the mail but nothing works. I tried to reinstall the program it downgrade from version XI to 9. But really nothing works. I can't copy and paste else the file, the file will be having this error message (access denied), but if I copy/paste, it has no problem at all. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Furthermore, I use Window XP Service Pack 3.

    Thank you.

    Indeed, it is a strange thing!  The only difference between copy and paste and cut/paste is not the original file will remain or deleted in the original folder.  There will be no problem of permission using the two methods.

    Depending on your file system, you should be able to see the permissions of files by right-clicking on it, properties, and then select the Security tab.  See also http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/acl_set_per missions.mspx

    How do you open the file by double-clicking on it?  Is that what you can open the file if you open Adobe Reader first, open, and select this file?

  • Outlook Express (XP) - Error Message "there was an error opening this message. An error has occurred. "When you try to open an e-mail.

    When I try to open the address book within the OE, the error message says "unable to open the address book.  The AddressBook is may not be installed correctly.  I check that the WAB file is not read-only (as a matter of fact, I can open the WAB file directly by double-clicking in Explorer and email as an 'Action' very well).  Also, I check register and I have not any sharing with Outlook 2007.  I continue to receive emails and such mentioned, can send through the WAB file.

    There was an update of Windows by 18 points before it do not longer work.  I don't have a record of what has been installed.  I tried to come back a week to a previous restore point, but told me that nothing has changed.

    Help, please.  This has worked well for years.

    Remove Folders.dbx. If you can get OE open, create a new book of identity and address.

    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    The path to the message will be very similar to this:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Note these possible side effects:

    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

  • I moved my windows mail contacts place and now I can't find them. I get the message the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized. Windows Mail does not open.

    I was exploring the information about "move your files and user files to another partition" I'm a little short on space.   I chose the location tab in my Contacts Properties window to have a look at the possibilities of some of my folders move to another partition on my computer.   However, I clicked obviously wrong, and now I got a message that the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.   I tried the system restore, but no restore points are available to me before today.  Are there jobs that I can do?

    Under your username must be a Contacts folder.   If there is a step, and then either move the new Contacts folder to where he was, or create a new folder under the user name, and then see if it works then.  So if you have a username of 'Heather' contacts should be under C:\Users\Heather\Contacts.  Try and then see if it works very well.  Otherwise, you will need to create a new user and then try to get this to work.
