How can I open a PDF attachment?

I work for FEMA and receive a daily briefing. The email comes with a PDF attachment. As of Monday, when I clicked on the link the PDF would not open. I updated my Adobe Reader, thinking that would resolve the issue but it still will not open.

If you save the attachment to your desktop, can you open it using File>Open in Reader?
If not, what exactly happens? What version of Reader are you using?

How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder? I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder?

No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

How can I open excel pdf files

How can I open excel pdf files

Hi mmart1957,
Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
Best,
Sara

How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
%PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.
Thanks. -Noel

Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

That is a dedicated Windows format for Microsft Works ( now obsolete) and there is no direct conversion on the Mac side. There are workabouts:
http://www.ehow.com/how_6132993_open-wps-files-mac.html
The best thing is to encourage those who send such files to use "Save as..." from Works to save the file in another format. I believe Works allows the .rtf format that will open in TextEdit on the Mac. If they have the .doc option, you can open the file with Apple's Pages, Word for Mac, or any of the free productivity suites like LibreOffice.
I received .wps files on a Win computer that did not have Works and it did not get very far either. Sounds like someone is not very accustomed to sharing files online.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Depending upon your version of OS X and your version of Safari, as detailed in the Adobe help document links below, Adobe pdf documents created with the latest releases may require an (updated free) Adobe plug-in for Safari, or (free) Adobe Reader in order to display properly.

If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in ibooks? The menu bar does not pop up like it does on the ipad2. Any suggestions?

Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.
