Re: Can't open a pdf file: there was an error opening this document access denied MichaelKazlow Nov 14, 2009 5:15 PM (in response to icecream2times) You are not using Reader to create the pdf. This really is not a Reader issue. How are you renaming the file? What OS are you using? Can you upload a problemsome file? Like Show 0 Likes(0) Actions 2. Re: Can't open a pdf file: there was an error opening this document access denied icecream2times Nov 14, 2009 6:31 PM (in response to MichaelKazlow) Thanks Michael I think it's Acrobat Reader (or PDF) issue. My OS is Windows XP. I renamed the fie by using the right click function and Rename. I have attached a sample PDF file created by my scanner which can, unlike the files I created earleir, opened, renamed, moved to another folder. What do you think I should do? I failed to attach any of the problemsome files. May be a hacking so
May 1, 2016 by Mitch Bartlett 3 Comments Filed Under: Software Tagged: Adobe Reader Some users of Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 may encounter an error when they http://www.technipages.com/acrobat-reader-11-fix-there-was-an-error-opening-this-document-access-denied attempt to open a PDF file from their email client such as Microsoft Outlook. An error may appear that says "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." There is http://helpdesk.maytechgroup.com/support/solutions/articles/129667-adobe-reader-xi-access-denied-message-opening-network-files a simple fix for this error. Just follow these steps. From Acrobat Reader, select "Edit" > "Preferences". Select "Security (Enhanced)" on the left pane. Uncheck the "Enable Protected Mode at adobe reader startup" box. Select "Yes" to the prompt about being sure about making this change. Click "OK". You should be good to go! Adobe Reader 11 should now open files just fine.

Thanks! Christian Crowder says June 28, 2016 at 4:35 pm I would try going into the task manager and killing everything Adobe related or making sure that no other users are in the file. This happened to me today and to fix it, I had to install all of the Adobe updates, kill the Adobe tasks then it opened fine. This error is created for security if someone else is in the file (or if you lock the file on your machine to begin with). This locks the file to the original person who opened it, and creates a "Read Only" copy when you open it. Like I said, try your updates and then kill Adobe in task manager.

Modified on: Sun, 30 Nov, 2014 at 9:33 AM This solution is only for files stored on a network server with a long file path. If you're trying to open files from a website or something that isn't coming from a very long file path, do not expect this solution to help you. I don't have a way to change this globally, so it's going to have to be done on a case-by-case basis. While it is clear that the Win32 APIs from Microsoft do limit file paths to 260 characters on a DFS share, not all programs utilize those Win32 APIs. NitroPDF doesn't, Adobe Reader X doesn't, and others don't either. Adobe XI, on the other hand, does use them apparently, but only in the default "Protected" mode. So, the solution for this problem is to prevent Protected mode from running at Adobe Reader XI startup. Here's how: 1. Open Adobe Reader 2. click the "Edit" menu, and select "Preferences..." 3. On the left-hand "Categories:" menu, select "Security (Enhanced)". 4. In the "Sandbox Protections" section, uncheck the box at the top left called "Enable Protected Mode at Startup" 5. Close all open instances of Adobe Reader, and the problem is resolved. It should be noted that PDF files are one of the most common vehicles for malware attack, so disabling protected mode is not recommended unless you're working with documents you trust. This should be considered a stop-gap solution or a workaround at best. To really solve the problem, you need to move the files to a shorter network path. Did you find it helpful?
