The title is badly worded, but I'm not sure how else to describe this.



I have Windows 8.1 and just noticed this behaviour after reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Say I have a document called A.pdf. I want to rename the file so I right-click, click rename, and type B.pdf. The file still appears in the folder as A.pdf and when I double-click it to open it, I get an error from Acrobat: "There was an error opening this document."



This only happens with PDFs, not with DOCs or TXTs.

If its a registered copy, best place to ask would be in Acrobat forum at Adobe probably.

Is it the default program for opening pdf files? If you right click on the file and choose "open with" will it open? Did you reinstall it recently. Seems to be allot of issues for people that have "reinstalled" Acrobat

I should clarify. I can still open the files. I have to refresh the Explorer window so that it appears as B.pdf. Renaming the file works fine, but for some reason the new file name does not automatically show up.

Never mind. The problem's gone for now. I don't know how it happened, but a restart is all that was needed.
