I have a pdf file that will open up only to the the print menu. then after a minute or 2, acrobat crashes.

other pdf's open up to the container, full menu, etc.

this is my only file and source, and i need to edit it. is there a way of salvaging it? thanks.

Try this out:

  1. 1. Right click on any PDF document -> Get Info
  2. 2. Click on Open with entry on the get info dialog
  3. 3. In the Application dropdown locate to your installed copy of Acrobat and select Acrobat application
  4. 4. Once you have selected Acrobat click the "Change All buttom below the drop down"
  5. 5.Click Continue on the user confimation dialog
  6. 6. Quit the Get Info window

Another variant might be paid online recover service for pdf files- https://onlinefilerepair.com/

Hope it works for you!!

Is the PDF post-able?  That means is it "safe" to post to a web site or a dropbox type location??  If yes, then please do it, so that others on the forum can have a look to see if it's salvageable.
