Hello,
I have a filled-in dynamic pdf that is saved to my hard drive. It was initially saved with information several months ago. I was able to open and edit the form 7 days ago. Today, I tried to open the same form and it gave me an error that said "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
It happens in both Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro
Why would this happen all of a sudden? It doesn't happen for files of other dynamic pdf forms.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro
Thanks

I did this on Mar 10, but have not heard back. Still cannot open many pdfs, with either the error "Insufficient data for an image", or "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Got any updates for me?

Close Background Processes and Give Adobe a Fresh Start.
- which of the 98 background Windows processes should I close?
Run Adobe Acrobat as an Administrator.
- Doesn't help.
Run Adobe Acrobat in Compatibility Mode.
- Doesn't help.
Disable Protected Mode.
- Doesn't help.
Repair and Update Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
- For the 11th time?
Reinstall the Software.
- See above.
All of this was tried before (except background processes), but to no avail.
I sent in logs, hoping there might be something there to decipher the issue.
