What are readme.doc Error Messages?


General readme.doc Runtime Errors

readme.doc file errors often occur during the startup phase of PDFMerge, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DOC errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while PDFMerge is running. Here are some of the most common readme.doc runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\PdfMerge\PdfMerge\readme.doc

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most DOC errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your readme.doc file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PDFMerge), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, readme.doc file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PDFMerge, system crash while loading or saving readme.doc, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve readme.doc problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download readme.doc Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying readme.doc to your appropriate Windows system directory. Free PDF Solutions typically does not release PDFMerge DOC files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing readme.doc and all other DOC files for PDFMerge. An incorrectly installed DOC file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
