the small fraction of PDFs that do not correctly start with the '%PDF-' header and an error appears: Error: the document is damaged and cannot be repaired.

Make sure that no extraneous bytes appear before %PDF at the head of the file. PDF consumers: Enterprise admins and users If you are a customer or an enterprise IT professional, you can disable the header validation on machines by setting the appropriate preference. You can set this preference per user in HKCU or at the machine level for all users in HKLM. You can use a similar method on Mac OS by modifying the same plist preference. If the AVGeneral key does not exist, create it manually. The HKLM path is generically: HKLM\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000 For example, to change the behavior for Acrobat 11.0, create a DWORD at this location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000 The HKCU path is generically: HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000 For example, to change the behavior for Reader 10.0, create a DWORD at this location: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:0000000

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, http://www.technipages.com/acrobat-reader-11-fix-there-was-an-error-opening-this-document-access-denied 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.

Access denied. This morning I tried to open a PDF from GroupWise, our email program. Immediately, I got an error message in Adobe Acrobat Reader X, "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." Since we recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.0 (X), I figured it was a new security setting in the application. As it turns out, this new version of Acrobat is using the "principle of least privilege". I darn near bored myself to death reading a three-part series on Adobe's new Protected Mode. To make things simple for you, here are two ways for you fix the problem: A. Fix One PC Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X Go to: Edit > Preferences... Click on "General" in the left pane. 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! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged] "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000 Mi

Cannot Open Damaged File About 25% of the pdf attachments I am receiving cannot be opened. Error Message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." This only began in the last two weeks and I believe just after I installed Acrobat Reader XI. I am using Acrobat IX. It occurs with pdf attachments sent from multiple senders with different ISP's. I have repaired Acrobat Reader XI to no avail. I am out of ideas and in need of assistance. Bill Woods 3 Answers Voted Best Answer Edit Answer (for another -9 minute) Usually the conflict stems from how those PDFs were created and that is where most of the problems come from. It could be created from an older version of Acrobat, someone could have used an online converter that produce a bad copy of the PDF, the converter tools on Acrobat could be damaged in some way. However, since you mention you are using Reader XI, uninstall it and find a copy of Reader X and see if you can open the damage file.Or try viewing the document through your browser or use another program like Foxit Reader and see if the file will open up. By Michael Anderson Edit Answer (for another 6 minutes) Because some, not all, PDFs attached to incoming emails are affected the problem may be improper / incorrect designation of MIME types on the email server. If the server is not properly configured attached PDFs do get gobbered by the server as it processes them..Be well...
