    Unable to open PDF file


    The income tax people need something from my last year's income tax filing and they are getting nasty about it. I filed online and kept a copy in Documents; a PDF file. I can't open it now; it keeps telling me "Something went wrong". Does anyone know how to get a PDF file such as this open?


    Thanks if anyone can help.

    :)

    Unable to open PDF file directly from WINZIP file

    Thanks for the help. I tried the suggested steps. It did not work for me. When clicked on pdf files, now it opens with acrobat reader as opposed to Edge. But then I still cannot open pdf files directly form zip file.

    Trouble Opening PDF's

    Hi Parker,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

    • Does the issue persist in Edge browser?
    • Do you get similar error when you open the PDF file in Adobe reader?


    Check if you are facing similar issue in Edge browser.



    Step 1: Open PDF file in Adobe reader and check if you are facing similar issue.



    To open PDF file directly from Adobe reader, follow the steps below:



    • Open Adobe application and click on Edit.
    • Click on Preferences and select Internet.
    • Uncheck Display PDF in Browser option and check if you are able to open the PDF file without getting the error code.


    Step 2: If you are able to open PDF file in Adobe reader, I suggest you to
    Turn off Internet Explorer,
    enable it again and check if the issue is resolved.



    For further assistance, I suggest you to post your query in Adobe support forum.

    Thank you.

    Unable to open PDF file

    Unable to open PDF files from websites

    Since I bought a new computer, which came with Edge (but not IE), I am unable to open PDF files from websites. I keep getting this notice: "Couldn't open PDF. Something's keeping this PDF from opening." I have the latest version of Adobe Reader and can
    open PDF files from e-mails and from files that are stored on my computer, but not from websites. Any suggestions?
