I am unable to open pdf attachments in my emails?

I have check my program files, i have adobe reader installed however when i have a pdf file in my emails i cant open the email?
Can you please advise how i can solve this?

Hi tillysingh,
Are you saying that you can't even open an email message that has a PDF attachment? Or, are you unable to open PDF files in attachments? What happens when you try? Do you get an error message?
Best,
Sara

  • UNABLE TO OPEN PDF ATTACHMENTS IN E-MAIL

    Over the past week,I have been unable to open PDF attachments in my AOL webmail.  I encounter no problems with my Outlook Express e-mail.  Why is this suddenly happening and how can I correct the problem?

    To make sure that Adobe Reader is default,
    goto Edit->Preferences->Select default PDF Handler. Check the value in the dropdown list "Select Adobe product". If the first value which appears is 'Adobe ReaderX', then Reader X is the default PDF Handler.
    Also please let me know the OS you are using.
    Is the problem also faced in AOL webmail with any other Adobe Product(like Acrobat X, Reader 9 etc.) if you are using/used any of them?
    Thanks,
    Shakti

  • Unable to open video attachments in an email

    I am unable to open video attachments in emails I receive !!

    What is the file type for the video attachments?
    Copied from this link.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.
    If the video attachments are Windows Media Video files (WMV files that include a .wmv file extension), WMV is a closed/proprietary Microsoft video format. Microsoft stopped providing and supporting a Windows Media Player version for the Mac and OS X many years ago. There is a 3rd party player that provides for this on a Mac and there is a 3rd party app that provides for this on the iPhone.

  • I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open PDF attachments on incoming emails. Why?

    I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open incoming PDF attachments  It says "EULA display has stopped working"

    Go to: C/Program Files (or Program Files(x86))/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader
    Look for the file named "eula.exe" (or just "eula")
    Double click it and accept the end user license agreement (eula)
    You should not see this error anymore

  • TS1506 I can't open pdf attachements in my email from outlook on my iphone

    How do I open pdf attachments in my email on my iphone

    here is what is supposed to happen...
    an e mail attachment is usually shown as a icon at the end of the e mail.  If you touch it, and if it is a file type that the pad can handle in preview, it opens and you can read it.  and example would be a word document.
    If you want to do something besides read the attachment, you need an app.  If you touch and hold the attachment you will ge a prompt called "open in", and any apps you have that can deal with that file type will ber lsited, you pick the one you want to use.
    Sometimes there is no app on your machine to open a particular file type.  You can go to the app store, and search for that file extension, and frequently find an app that will deal with it.  Windows .wmv files are an example.
    Lastly, there are some file types that the pad simply will not open, and there are no apps to be had either.  Flash attaments, i believe the extension is swx, cannot work on the pad.
    so - when you get an e mail with an attachment - what happens when you touch it?

  • Recipients are unable to open my attachments.

    Hi all,
    First time posting so please excuse any misused terminology and the like.  I'm having trouble with Mac Mail.  I use iCloud mail for my service and I have my iCloud account connected to "Mail" on my iMac.  I also have a Hotmail account connected to Mail that I occasionally use. 
    I recently tried to send a PDF to a Windows user using my iCloud account but they were unable to open the attachment.  They could view the message fine and the attachment showed up but they were getting an error when they tried to open it.  They also tried to save the attachment to their computer and then open it with no luck.  When I took a look at the sent e-mail I was also unable to open the PDF.  I was getting an error that read:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'Order Receipt.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    So I tried again with another file type, this time it was a tiff image with similar issues.  Still unable to open the file getting a different error message.  I then tried using my Hotmail address as the sending e-mail account, still with no luck.  I then was forced to use the Hotmail web site to send the mail and that worked fine, much to my chagrin.  I then tried to send it via the web based version of iCloud which didn't seem to work from my end at first, I was unable to open the file by clicking on it, still receiving the same error message mentioned above but when I saved it to my downloads folder I was able to open it up clicking on the file from my downloads stack on the dock.  Once it opened up this way I was also able to open it up by clicking on the file in the e-mail. 
    Upon further investigation, I noticed I was unable to open any attachments to an e-mail as soon as I attached them.  When I attach a file by clicking and dragging the file into the e-mail, the icon shows up in the mail, which is strange because normally the attachments show up embedded in the e-mail, but when I click on them I get the error message and the file size for the attachment is 0KB.  If I try to attach something using the paperclip icon at the top of the mail message a window opens up where I can select the file but when I select it and click "Choose File" the file selection window closes but nothing seems to have attached to the e-mail. 
    I've been researching this for a few days now and I've tried rebuilding my mailbox, to no avail.
    Sorry if this is a little wordy but from what I've seen in forums, the more information you give on what you've done, the better.
    Any clue what's going on? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Unable to view PDF attachments from my iPhone.

    I am using service called RightFax this service is send the faxes to clients mailboxs. I have been reported from clients that they are unable to view the attachmentson their iPhones, the attachment format is PDF. The attachment can be openned from any desktops and Android phones without any issue.
    i can see attachment from on my iPhone but when i tab on it to view it it just scrolled up to the top of the mail. Also if i farward the same fax mail to my self then i can view the attachment.The IOS version is 7.1.
    I contact the RightFax company to check with them why only attachments from fax mails with PDF format is not openning from iPhone devices from the first time, the company check theur services and do tests and reply me that there is no issue with their services since the PDF attachments are openned on android and desktops. They informed me that it might could be compatability issue between Exchange 2013 and apple that doesn't allowed PDF attachments to be openned from the first time, so they advised to contact Apple support to find out why PDFs are not openning when i initially attempt to download them.
    I download third party mail client on my iPhone and all fax attachments are openned without problem.
    Could anyone help me with this strange issue ??

    RightFax advised you to contact Apple Support - this is NOT Apple Support but rather a public user to user technical support forum.
    As far as I know, it is not possible to open PDF attachments on an iPhone, but it is on an Android phone, which is why you are having the problems - unless there is an app to help you that you can purchase in the app store, then there is not a lot you can do about this, except switch to an android phone, but as far as I know, you have never been able to open PDF documents on an iPhone.

  • "Unable to Open" PDF attachment using BlackBerry PlayBook when message is received from Exchange 03

    Hello,
    Recently I have found that some users are having an issue with opening PDF attachments on the BlackBerry PlayBook using their Exchange 2003 accounts.
    I have isolated the issued to only users on Exchange 2003 using activesync.
    To resolve/workaround you can select and hold the attachment until you have the option to "Open" or "Save As". Select "Save As" and rename the attachment to the same name but include .pdf at the end of the file name. This allow the attachment to open in Adobe and show the PDF document in the email message correctly.
    Messages where being recieved as .null attachments with same file name but no extension.
    Hope this helps anyone.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • PDF Attachments in Exchange emails opened in iPad

    Would like to know how to consistently make a PDF attachement in an Exchange email shown as an icon; not embedded text in the message body.  We use iPad to open PDF attachments in emails sent from multiple employees.  These attachments are all originally made in Word (Office 2010) on desktops, saved and sent in PDF, and opened in iPad Exchange email accounts.  Some attachments are shown as text embedded in the message body but some others are in an icon at the bottom of the message body.  We would like it to show as an icon and open it with other PDF readers on ipad.  How can we make them to show all in that way?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Can Not Open PDF Attachments

    I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8  and using Adobe version 11.0.2  If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
    Thanks in advance for yor help.
    the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

    If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.
