File is damaged or cannot be repaired

[robertcro]

I have Adobe Reader on my Vista OS. When I try to open a PDF file, I either get a message that states I must exit Adobe and when I click "OK," the file opens. However, on occasion, I'll get the following error message in which I cannot open the file and a blank Adobe window opens:

"file is damaged or cannot be repaired."

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any solutions? Thanks.

Make sure you have the latest Reader version, and check the file in another computer to see where the issue is coming from. How were these PDF files created? They may be corrupt during the download.
