Question

"Failed to load an application resource (internal error)" on mac

I have been using a government issued software to electronically submit tax forms every month. As of this month I have problem with opening the form in the software and when I choose a form from the list available in the software I get the pop-up message "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)". I should add that i have no problem opening a regular pdfs and when I submitted the tax form last month everything worked just fine. The pdf form was opened in the software, filled in and sent with no issues whatsoever.

I am using Mac OS 10.13.6 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2019.008.20071. I tried reinstalling adobe and the other software but it didn't help. I saw that some users had the same message but their cases differed from mine.

Did anyone come across the same problem?I appreciate your comments.

My workaround was to remove Acrobat entirely with cleaner, reboot and install version from early 2018.

Install Adobe Reader XI instead of DC despite it's older and DC is recommended. This solved my problem, error disappeared.

    Hi there!

    We're sorry for the trouble you had with Adobe Reader, please reboot the machine once and check for any pending updates of Adobe Reader from help>check for updates, reboot the machine again and check.

    For testing purpose, try opening the PDF form in any browser and check.

    Are you getting the error message with one specific PDF file or with all the PDF forms? If it is specific to one specific PDF file, is it possible to share the file with us so that we can test it at our end?

    Share the sample PDF file which is throwing the error by private/direct message only How Do I Send Private Message

    For testing purpose, disable the 'Protected Mode at startup' and 'Enhanced Security' from Edit>Preferences>Security(Enhanced) and check if the issue still persists.

    Note: Disabling the Protected Mode and Enhanced Security is only for testing purpose, please enable it back.

    Use Acrobat cleaner tool to do a complete cleaner up of Adobe Reader Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

    reboot the machine and download the setup of Adobe Reader from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/AcrobatDC/1900820080/

    Complete the installation process and check with the file.

    Let us know how it goes and share your observation.

    Thanks,

    Anand Sri.

    Hi Anand,

    Thank you for your reply. I have followed your instructions and here's what happened:

    The version I use is up to date and rebooting and rechecking for updates gave the same results.

    I get the same error message with all the forms available for selection in the Polish Ministry of Finance software (E-deklaracje) and also on their website. Additionally, in the browser on the ministry's website after the error pops up the below information shows up.

    You may want to check it yourself on the ministry's website where the forms are available: https://www.finanse.mf.gov.pl/pl/pp/e-deklaracje/formularze/vat

    Simply click on any of the forms in the table e.g. VAT-7(17)*

    As for disabling 'Protected Mode at start up' and 'Enhanced Security', the first one doesn't exist in my Adobe version. I ticked off the 'Enhanced Security' but it didn't help, the error kept popping up.

    I used the Acrobat cleaner tool, downloaded the Acrobat Reader Version 2019.008.20071 and used the update file you shared but the problem still persists.

    Just FYI I have no problems opening PDF on other websites so I assume this has something to do with the security options.

    Hope any of this will help in resolving the issue.

    Thanks again for your support.

      Hi bone-idle,

      For those PDF's where you getting this "Please wait..." message, please check: PDF won’t display. Please wait …

      This should help.
