PDF Software Development, Training and More.9Saves is a file hosting provider. Now you should have a PDF file on your computer that you can open with Adobe Reader. The best way to continue from here is to drag&drop the file(s) in the ZIP archive into a directory on your computer - this way you can modify the files. You should then be able to double-click on that ZIP file and see it's contents. You should see a "zipper" on your file icon, is that correct (you may have to uninstall WinZip again to see that). When I say "recent", I mean at least back to WinXP. Any recent Windows version can unpack a ZIP file. You are using WinZip, so I can probably assume that you are using Windows.

You need to unzip the file before you "present" it to Acrobat. Please post any followup you have in the same question thread, this way, we have all the information in one place.Īs I've mentioned before (and as Dimitri also mentioned), Acrobat cannot open ZIP files. You should not split one question into separate threads. The instructor's email downloads opened up directly into Adobe Reader just fine.īut why can't I get the same results when I open the same files from the same website? There is still something else I'm not doing right. An instructor sent me the files in an email, and THOSE files I was able to open and see the comments. I tried to set WORD program to open - ERROR messages.īEFORE I started changing the programs that open the file, I was able to open the file okay, but I could not get the instructor's comments. BUT, if I use WinZip free trial, IT WORKS GREAT! But, I don't want to have to pay for WinZip.Ĭould it be some settings in what programs are set to open what files? What program should I have set for this? I try to set it as Adobe Reader - but does't work. Open from Adobe Reader I just get the message that the file is damaged or unsupported. DETAILS: Microsoft Word cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid." (files are not damaged, missing or invalid) But when I opened it with WORD I get the message: "Sorry we can't open 22001185-028005 because we found a problem with its contents. I tried a trial version, and that did work.

It seems the only way to open is if I pay for WinZip to open it. I started from scratch, and tried to open the ZiP/COMPRESSED file from the Penn Foster website. I did that, and then went back to try to open up file again. I didn't know about that, and I was able to change my Google Chrome plugin to Adobe PDF (ENABLED) instead of the Chrome PDF. Karl, thank you once again for that great info. STILL I'm doing something wrong - Adobe Reader cannot open compressed 2-page file.
