Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

    After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

    Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
    Operating system:  Windows 8.1
    Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
    Can you help me, please?

  • So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • Word docs and PDFs on iPad

    I don't have an iPad yet but I'm considering buying one. Can I transfer a Word doc or a PDF from my computer to an iPad in order to read it? To edit it?

    You have to be careful with annotation apps. With some, you can view the annotations in some pdf readers but not others. There have been discussions about this before, below I include a post by GNRBeaumont. I have PDF Expert, but it can't create the two types of annotation formats (see below) - but it does have other features that are valuable. Since iAnnotate PDF can handle the two formats, I bought that as well. You'll also be wise to have several pdf readers, since some do not read material that other do. Anyway, the post I referred to...
    "I have spent several hours of research and trial and error and money on numerous apps to learn a surprising thing about pdf.
    Annotations will not show up unless [1] the viewing app supports the particular format by which the annotation was added or [2] You are using an annotation that saves in image format (still a pdf file).
    I like the latter but that means the annoation can not be edited.
    The best for "2" are neu.annotate and noterize. When your annotations are made in this format everything will read it including built in email attachment viewer.
    Number "1" is a mess. If you use editable format for adding annotation then the built in email viewer will not show it and many other pdf readers (iPad and desktop) MAY not read it. I have had really crazy combos, including one where my desktop would see it but when it printed the annotation disappeared.
    The app in "1" category that seems most universally reliable is pdf expert.
    iannotate is the only one I know of that lets you choose what format (editable or non editable) to save in. But it currently has a rotation bug that they are working on.
    Since I want to make sure that whomever I send annotations to can see them, I use method "2" "

  • Viewing word docs and PDFs

    I want to put word docs or PDFs on my touch. I read that I can save the word docs as PDF and put it in photos or save them as txt and put them in notes, but my computer recognizes my touch as a camera and won't let me drop things in the root folder. I already did the thing where I tell my computer not to ask me what to do with the camera when I connect it, but it still thinks it's a camera. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

    Your touch is not a disk drive per se like the old iPod classics or nanos and therefore you won't be dropping anything into it. You can certainly view Word documents and pdfs that are e-mailed to you, however. You can use WiFi to copy files to your touch if you purchase and install the correct apps. Check in the App Store for Documents to Go and similar programs.
    Disabling the camera notification is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    This covers Win 7 and Vista but there is a link to an XP version.

  • Transferring and viewing Word docs and .pdf

    I'm going on a trip and want to store lots of info in .docx and .pdf on an ipad2.
    1. Can I view Word docx and .pdf files on the ipad 2 without buying apps?
    2. If so, how do I transfer them, and where can I find them on it after they are transferred?
    Thanks.

    Do you have ibooks downloaded? I often use ibooks to save my documents and store them with the help of itunes. Later on, they may be useful. "ibooks" is free of cost.

  • HT1420 my other computer was broken and stolen...its more than 5 .. how can i authorize my new computer for the 6x?  again i can not de authorize because the computers are not with me now.

    how can i authorize my computer.. my previous 5 computers are stolen and broken. I can not authorize anymore because they re asking me to de authorize the 5 computers but its not with me now.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the Deauthorize All function. If that's not an option, use the 'contact iTunes Store Support' link.

  • Microphone and what U hear can not be use at the same time at the same time

    I am using Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer (Creative Model Number: SB073A), sound card and have down loaded the latest drivers (version 2.18.15). What U hear is enabled, which in turned makes the microphone unavailable. If you reverse the settings, then what U hear is unavailable.
    It appears that; microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time. If someone has an answer on how to correct the following settings to achieve; using the microphone and what U hear at the same time would be appreciated.

    It was possible in Windows XP but due to windows 7 own audio mixer this does not work anymore.

  • E-mail are received as DAT file instad of PDF

    Hi All,
    Please try to assist in this strange topic:
    When I try to send an e-mail via the SBO (press on the envelope button and choose u2018yesu2019 when
    the option u2018Would you like to attach an edited report to the e-mail?u2019 is display), the receiver is received a file with u2018DATu2019 extension and not with PDF extension and the receiver canu2019t open the file.
    I have tried to uninstall the acrobat reader 9 and install instead Foxit 3.1, but the problem still
    persists.
    In addition, I have found the this issue is reproduced only when the customer is using the Hebrew interface of SBO and the PDF file name is in Hebrew.
    When I switched to English interface of SBO, then the PDF file name is in English and the file is received correct (As PDF file).
    Another thing is that when you send the e-mail via the SBO (with the attached PDF) and open it
    on outlook (e.g. 2007), the file is received as DAT file,
    However If you open the e-mail on web mail (e.g. GMAIL), the file is received as correct PDF file, But when you send a regular e-mail (not via the SBO) with the attached PDF file and open it on outlook, the file is received As PDF file.
    Thanks,
    Erez

    I am afraid that there is a syntax or some codes in the interface that make the pdf converted into DAT file. You should ask the technical consultant or someone that developed the interface to make sure about it.
    If not, probably,  there is a problem with your current SAP B1 version. You could try to upgrade to the latest PL version of your current B1 application and then try again this case. if this is happened in the latest version, log a message to SAP Support.

  • Right Click convert to pdf - Gone AND Combining word docs and pdfs gone

    Hello everyone,
        I am on a Lenovo all in one think centre m92z, i have a creative cloud membership and have the most current version of acrobat xi pro. Up until 2 weeks ago i used to be able to right click and convert any file to a pdf, now that seems to have dissapeared... anyone know how to get that back?
    Right click on a word file and it doesnt give me any options for acrobat at all, except an open with
    Further more i cant even combine pdf's and word docs in the "combine files" dialogue box where you can drag and drop etc.

    I am having the same issue, I have tried repairing the installation and it did not work, I have uninstalled and then reinstalled and still no right click options. I have 3 computers with this issue and each of them when you right click will not show any of the acrobat options, but they do have a blank line (no text) that when clicked will open the combine window. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • I use mymsn page and when upgrading to Firefox 4 the changes went away and I can not make changes to the stocks area or see my emails. How do I fix that?

    Mymsn has areas that allow you to list your stocks and also an area that allows you to see what emails you have waiting to be read. Both of these areas went away when I upgraded to Firefox 4 last week. When clicking on the menu area to make changes, nothing happens. How do I get back the information that was in these areas? Also the customize button does not work.

    Do you have Adblock Plus installed? If you do, disable on the page where you normally see your stock info. I've uploaded an image of what happens on another site where ABP is enabled. The Global News image disappears with ABP enabled even though it's not an ad.
    If that doesn't work, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • The maximum number of PDF documents that can be simultaneous openned in the browser has been exceede

    I'm currently build a WinForms application that uses the built-in webbrowser to view PDF files. However, I just started getting this message. I saw someone's post but in was in the archive section and looks like it was never resolved. So I'm asking for Adobe's help if they're on here to put up a FAQ somewhere describing this error.
    I'm currently on Reader 8.1.2.
    Jeff

    First, no one is addressing Adobe here. This is a User 2 User forum. I'm
    not sure this is really a Reader issue as opposed to a Microsoft issue.
    Microsoft applications have a habbit of holding onto documents until the
    application is closed. Since you are most likely using MSIE, it is
    probably still holding onto the document via the reader plug-in until it
    quits.
    However, if you wish to log it as a Reader bug, here is the appropriate

  • Syntex error converting word doc to PDF

    I am trying to convert a Word doc to PDF so I can send it to the printer, but it stops on page 17 and Word closes.  The Distiller message is attached. How do I correct this? I am using Acrobat 8 Pro. Thanks

    It's the only way I can use Adobe with Word.  It has always never worked any other way and I can't seem to find a solution as to why.  I'd like to be able to use this product as it's intended.  Thinking of trying other PDF software at this point....
    The only way I got the Word doc to print was to delete page 17 and redo it. A lot work.
