Hi richardv,

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are getting  error 109 when opening the file in Acrobat Reader, is that correct?

Try installing the latest patch for Reader using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu,  You may also download updates from here: Adobe software and product updates

Reboot the machine after installing update and try again.

You may also refer to the following forum threads discussing the similar issue:

Latest "Problem reading document (109)" error

There was a problem reading this document (109) (Acrobat Reader)

"Error 109" in files returned by customer

Is it specific to one PDF file or with all the PDF file?

Let us know if you need any help.

Hello Shivam,

Thank you for the reply, i have updaed to the latest version (2019.008.20081) the error is still there. it happens with several pdf files, even from the same person its different sometimes i can open the file and sometimes i cant open the file.

The other topics i have read aswell but without any solution.

I notice that when the pdf file is in outlook and i double click the file then adobe opens the file, when i drag the file from outlook to any destination on the local drive and i navigate to this folder to open the file it gives me the error 109 (not with chrome or Edge).

i have administrator rights on that folder / file, its not readonly or any different attributes marked on the file.

Hi richardv,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Could you check if you are running the latest patch for reader: 19.010.20069 ? if not, try updating reader to the latest patch using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu,  You may also download updates from here: Adobe software and product updates

Reboot the machine after installing update and try again.

Also, would it be possible to share the pdf file you are working with to replicate the issue at our end? To share the file here in the forums, refer to the steps given in this link: How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud

You may also share the link for the pdf via private message - How Do I Send Private Message

Thanks,

I am currently experiencing this issue as well. I have verified that my version is the most recent version, and my PDFs do not open in Adobe Reader DC or Adobe Reader XI. I have verified that it will open in Edge and Chrome, but not on any Adobe product. I have opened the files as well and verified that there are start and end of file markers. I do not believe that the file is corrupt. Please help!
