Trouble Shooting PDF Files
Issue
When you try to open a PDF file sent or received via an e-mail application or America
Online (AOL), Adobe Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Exchange returns the error, "There was
an error opening this document. File does not begin with '%PDF-'." The PDF file has a
.mim extension rather than a .pdf extension.
Solution
Please refer to the "Error
'...File does not begin with '%PDF-' When Opening PDF File Sent Via E-Mail" in
the Technical Solutions Database from Adobe
Systems, Inc.
