Open PDF in Email?

Since updating to iOS 7 can't open pdf sent by email. Will only open as single page picture

Not even get the option after opening the attachment to select another app (reader, good reader, Dropbox etc.) it will only give me a picture which I could copy. If there are multiple pdf attachments it will not even give me pictures, just can't open anything. I assume there is a conflict with any of the apps, on my iPhone all works perfect

Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?

What is the mail app do you use to read email on Android?
When you try to open an PDF attachment, do you see the dialog "Compete action using" with the Adobe Reader icon? Does the dialog have "Always" and "Just Once"?
Could you tell us the exact error message that you see when you try to open an PDF attachment?

Error opening pdf in email

I am trying to email a smartform as pdf. But getting the error that File cannot be opened as it is damaged and cannot be repaired.
I am getting the otf data from Smartform FM. Then convert it to pdf. And then sending it through SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. Attached is my code. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I first tried to send it directly through smartform email parameters. It didn't work. I also tried other functions for OTF to PDF conversions. But always getting the same error . I've also checked SCOT for SMTP node setup. The o/p format for smartforms is PDF.
Has anybody ever succeeded in getting the good pdf from smart form in the email ? Any idea what I am doing wrong ?

Trying to open PDF in email with Adobe Reader app

Citimortgage sent me a disclosure statement by email. I'm trying to open it on my iPad using the Adobe Reader app, but this is all I get.

George is correct. XFA forms (which the mobile Reader does not support) are often built with a generic error (like the one described) page that displays for Readers that do not support these document types.

Can't open pdf in emails

I am running Windows 7, IE 11. When I get a pdf attached to an email. I click on it. Popup asks Open or Save. Select Open. Dialogue box closes and nothing happens. If i save the pdf it will open fine. I don't want to have to save pdfs and then go find them just to get them open.
I think this changed with one of your updates. I have the most recent version of Adobe Reader.

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Can't open PDF from email

Error message opening PDF

"The document cannot be opened because it is corrupted or damaged". I cannot open PDF's emailed to me on my Iphone which originate from Quickbooks on-line. All other PDF's open fine on my Iphone.

I would try once opening the pdf on a computer. It is very possible that the pdf reader on the phone cannot read something about the way that Quickbooks creates the pdf. While Adobe might read it, it could have some minute differences the phone cannot identify.
EDIT: Adobe has a free reader app for the iPhone that can be downloaded from the App Store. You can also try that if you like.

Can't open pdfs anymore

Lately I have been unable to open PDFs from the internet. When I click it sends me to a blank internet tab. Sometimes I am able to control click and have the option to save the file in my downloads, then have to go back into finder to open the file. This is also the case when opening PDFs from emails. However there are some files on the internet that will not allow me that option. I have tried this in firefox, safari, and chrome. All are the same. Everything worked just fine until about 3 days ago. Please help?

I've been having a similar problem with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
But at last I have managed to find a simple way around it.
Firstly, without downloading the pdf, I printed the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Why can't i open .pdf email attachment on my iphone 5

Hi,
Hope someone can help! I can't seem to open .pdf or .doc files which are sent to me in email format. I have had a look at other posts and tried the answers but none of these work. It seems to be since the ios7 update. Do i need to download an app?
Many thanks

Hi, Try downloading the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. Hope it works.

How can I open pdf attachments in email? Adobe reader used to do this, and does not.

About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly could not open pdf attahments while reading my email. I now must down load them and save, in order to open them. Can someone help me to fix this? They open on my desk top, but not in Internet explorer. I would like to see them before down loading. What can I do to fix this problem?

Enable the Adobe Reader plugin in browser : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
Thanks
Wasil

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom
