Thanks! Christian Crowder says June 28, 2016 at 4:35 pm I would try going http://www.technipages.com/acrobat-reader-11-fix-there-was-an-error-opening-this-document-access-denied 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.

Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes. Click OK to save your change. Exit Adobe Reader B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices!

What error message do you get if you try and open the file? Where did the file come from? If you received the file by email then ask the sender to resend the file having zipped it first. This should maintain the integrity of the file in transit.

The file is damaged and could not be repaired." The pdf came from one of our clients. I believe it is a contract. I'll have the client resend the file zipping it first.
