Opening Pdf Attachments From outlook 2010

Good day I'm having problems with a user where he has to click a pdf attachement multiple times before it will open and the adobe proccess stays open after the document is closed so after a while there are like 20 adobe processes open.
Please advise on a solution as this is extreamly urgent.
The user uses Office 2010 and windows 7 64bit
Thanks

Hi Michael
The thing is the first time you double click the attachment nothing happens the second it will open and even after closing adobe reader the process will stay open and does not close so after a while it keeps getting slower and slower.
I have tried reinstalling Adobe multiple times does not help i have also disabled the start-up screen via the registry setting still the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the help

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

Rundll32 error when opening a PDF attachment from Outlook 2010

The computer is a 32 bit Win7. Outlook is 2010 for business. Everything was working fine until 4 days ago. Now have to save the pdf to the desktop and open it from there.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Error opening pdf's from PC stored on Mac

I have been experiencing an error when attempting to open pdf's stored in the public folder on our Mac.
The message reads:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another application."
It doesn't matter which PC we use to access the pdf's from and happens regardless of which version of Acrobat is being used, the same error occurs.
The public folder on the Mac has no restrictions.
Mac 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel
OS 10.9.4
Adobe Creative Suite 2014
*Also discovered none of the InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator files can opened from PC's can be opened while they are stored on the Mac either.
Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks for responding. We do not work using a Windows domain.
I can open .txt and Microsoft Publisher files, but I get errors on nearly everything else including any Adobe product files and Word files.
We used to keep files both the PC and Mac had to access on an external network drive, but exporting pdf's from the Mac (as well as opening and saving) took too long. So we moved everything to the Mac. If I have to work on a file I have to drag it to the PC desktop. We can't save directly to the Mac either. Files have to be copied onto the Mac.

Error opening PDF files from search results webpart on anonymous SharePoint 2013SP1 site with IE

Clicking search results, in the strict sense pdf files, using IE on an anonymous SharePint 2013SP1 site, I received the error: There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I would like to solve this problem on the server side.
Starting position:
SharePoint 2013 SP1
Web Application:
based on template 'Publishing Portal'
Anonymous Access enabled
Claims based authentication: Integrated Windows Authentication NTLM
Client Integration disabled
Site Collection:
Anonymous Access enabled for 'Entire Web site' => group 'Anonymous Users' was created
added permission to open items: $Web.AnonymousPermMask64 = "ViewListItems, ViewVersions, ViewFormPages, Open, ViewPages, UseClientIntegration, OpenItems"
Client side solutions:
c1) Open Link with “Open in new tab” or “Open in new window” => OK
c2) Disable IE Add-on “Adobe Acrobat Sharepoint OpenDocuments Component” => OK
c3) Set bDisableSharePointFeatures to 1 in regetit => OK
Server side solutions:
S1) Turn off Client Integration => didn't work, still same error
S2) Modify DOCICON.XML => didn't work, still same error
I gave these two options a chance:
first: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
then: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
I modified DOCICON.XML on both hives 14 and 15.
Remarks:
- After changingparameters I allways did an IISreset.
- As far as I understood I can only change bDisableSharePointFeatures on Client Side.
Any help, suggestion, idea wellcome!
Thanks!

Hi folks, here's the reason for my problem. I used the oob search result web part. The result items (PDF items) are rendered by the template Item_PDF.html/Item_PDF.js. This template holds a code snippet that assigns a certain OpenControl to the PDF item - that's hard coded. So, no matter what you configure in DOCICON.XML, the PDF item will be opened with the control "PdfFile.OpenDocuments". Solution is e.g. just to leave the OpenControl blank.
template:
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.html
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.js
code before:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "PdfFile.OpenDocuments";
code after:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "";
Enjoy

Cannot open .wav files from Outlook 2010 (beta)

This file the error message i get:
This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
windows media player rich preview handler.....

Hi,
First, try to start Outlook in safe mode to see if it works fine.
If it works fine in safe mode, disable the add-ins you have in File > Options > Add-ins.
Second, try to clear out the Outlook Temporary items.
1. Locate the Outlook Temporary Items folder by opening the Registry and
locating
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
2. Navigate to the value of this Key. It should be something like:
%USERPROFILE%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\
3. Quit Outlook
4. Delete the contents of the folder
5. Launch Outlook
Hope it helps.
Had this same problem. End of key was like "CK2219B0\". Deleted this small portion, saved registry, and restarted Outlook. .wav files executing fine now! Musta been some kind of update glitch cause it worked up to a day or
so back and then I had this problem. Thanks!!!

Getting Error opening pdf's in Safari and Firefox.

Getting the following message when I try to open a pdf from Safari and Firefox. The file downloads ok and if I click on the file it opens in Adobe Reader.
This is on my iMac and also my Macbook Pro. It use to work, but not sure what has happened. If I click on any pdf file in finder, it opens in Adobe Reader.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Gerard
You'll need to use at least Adobe Reader 8.1 with Safari 3, otherwise, Safari crashes. To install Reader 8.1.3, go here. At the site, click on the drop down selection menu and choose "Power PC 10.4.3 - 10.4.10". Otherwise, Adobe points you to Reader 9 instead of 8.
Before installing Reader 8, go to your HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder and move to the trash the existing Adobe PDF plug-in. This way, you're ensured of a clean install of version 8.
After the install, and prior to opening Safari, I suggest you go to your Applications>Utilities folder, open Disk Utility, highlight your HD and select "repair permissions".
Post back and let us know if that stops the crashes.

I received an error trying to migrate from Outlook 2010 to Thunderbird on Windows 7 and my folders didn't migrate over. I get an error trying to import setting

I have windows 7 professional running MS office 2010. I have 3 email accounts that I send and receive mail. these are all IMAP accounts. I installed Thunderbird and tried to import everything and the contacts import ok (except for my icloud contacts) but there is an error when importing the settings. The mail seems to import fine however I can only access mail for one of the email accounts. The other two just show a folder and no subfolders in the mail tree iin the left pane.
When I try to look up the accounts, I only see one account configured, the other ones are not there

3138 SQL error opening sqlite db file from Outlook 2010 as attachment

Has anyone of you tried sending the sqlite db file thru e-mail and then open the file from Outlook 2010?
I have an air app that can be opened by doubleclicking the sqlite database file (invoke event). The file is sent via e-mail from the app itself, so another user can run the app directly from their e-mail client once he receives the db. Now everything works fine unless you use Outlook 2010 - when I open it I get an sql error 3138 - do you know what can be the problem? Everything is fine when I'm using different e-mail client (the same e-mail account, just other client) like Outlook 2003 or Thunderbird or Opera. I'm guessing Outlook 2010 is using some kind of protection to attachments that is making the file not understandable by the app, but Microsoft seems to ignore my e-mails sent to them with the same question. The db file is not encrypted if that changes anything and saving the file from outlook to desktop and then running does not help. When I do the same using Outlook 2003 everything works as it should, but unfortunatelly my customer upgraded to 2010 :/ Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

Thanks for your reply. The only way I can open the pdf file is to save it locally. I don't understand why can't I just click and open the pdf file without saving them

Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

Error when opening PDF files from SAP.

Hi Gurus
I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
Pavan

Now I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
'Reading Untagged Documents'
lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
then it asked for Reading options
then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
thanks

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?
PS: WorkAround - the only work around I have found for this at present, is that the user first opens up Adobe Reader and lets it run in the background. I pinned the shortcut to his task bar to remind him.

I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and installed Adobe Reader XI and everything works fine. This will be our current fix until a solution is found for the above error
