Set the "Default Page Layout" to 'Continuous' - instead of Single Page. Found under "Preferences" in most products (full and reader)
It worked for me !!

This is an issue with the latest Adobe reader. The Adobe team has set stringent code restrictions that many of the older formats do not conform to. Rolling back to an earlier version has fixed this for me.

Try opening the PDF in Preview and then resaving it. Worked for me, and it retained all the comments in the PDF.

Try opening using Foxit reader, and then save a copy. Worked for me.

Using the most up to date Adobe Reader as of this post's date and Windows 10.

this is my solution:
1. go to print the document.
2. print it as an Adobe PDF.
3. Save it to whatever folder you chose.

It should work now.

I found a BUG in Acrobat XI Professional (the full product, not Reader).

After deleting or inserting PDF pages Acrobat throws error "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

I often need to insert or delete pages in a PDF file because the authors did not format the document properly so that the first page of every section prints on the odd pages, so that double-sided document print correctly with chapter or section title pages on the front side of two-sided pages.

I first extract a blank page from the document, so that I have a template blank page that is physically the SAME SIZE as the book i need to fix.

After deleting or inserting the same blank page extracted, I then page through the document. When I get to the pages after the inserted page, I get the document error 14 after the inserted page. Error "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

Looking on the internet in Adobe Technical Support Forums, I saw that this indicates the document got corrupted from the deletion or insertion operation.

When I hold down the Control key and click the OK button, I get the message "Expected a dict object" which means the document structure is broken. (An internal PDF dictionary data structure is receiving the wrong data type, hence the document is corrupted. )

Even if I use the native Acrobat XI Tools menu... "Insert Pages... More Insert Options, Insert Blank Page", I get the same result.

This is a native PDF document. This should not happen. I am using Acrobat built-in functionality, and this breaks the index, breaks the page display.

This bug occurs with many documents that I try to insert blank pages.

this is exactly what I did and it worked. Instead of extracting, I highlighted the pages that I wanted to extract and hit print "To PDF" instead

- You cannot save it with this tool and to pay 59 USD for full version to repair one PDF is insanity.
