PDF file opens in word

my e mail PDF files default to opening in windows (I have windows 2010 ). the attachments properties tab do not allow the option to change the file type? can anyone advise please

1. There is no Windows 2010. What version of Windows are you using Windows 7? Windows Vista? Windows Server?
2. Are you using Reader 9, X, or XI? It is Reader 9.5.2, X.1.2?
3. What email program you are running or are you using your Web browser to access your mail. What web browser and version or email program and version?
Must problems can be fixed by re-installing or installing the latest version of Reader compatible with your OS.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

How to open my file in Gmail after download free trial for converting PDF file to Microsoft Words.

after download the Free Trial for Converting PDF file to Microsoft Words, I can't open my file in gmail

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

Just downloaded adobe reader X. how do I change setting to open a file as a pdf file instead of word

Just downloaded adobe X reader pdf files open as a word doc. how do I change setting to only open doc as a pdf doc

Do you mean that MS Word is opening your pdf files? If so, you just need to change your file associations.
It's easy enough to do but how to do it depends on your operating system.

Bloated pdf File from Macintosh Word?

When creating a pdf file from a Word file on a Mac the file size becomes huge. The same file converted to pdf using Acrobat on a Windows machine results in a much smaller file. For example I wrote a two page letter that included several photos:
Original file size: 12.9 MB
pdf created by Acrobat on Windows PC: 227 KB
pdf created by Acrobat on Mac (OSX10.10): 61.1 MB
pdf created by Mac: 61.2 MB
What the heck is going on?
Thanks.

Dov:
I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI installed. I created the pdf files 4 different ways:
1) On my PC I used the "Print" menu then printed using the Adobe Acrobat option. Result: file size = 221 KB
2) On my Mac I used Acrobat, selected "Create pdf" from the "File" menu, selected the Word document, and clicked "Save". Result: file size = 61.1 MB
3) Also on my Mac I opened MS Word, selected "Print" then created a pdf using the "Save as pdf" open: Result: file size = 61.2 MB
4) Just now I tried the method you suggested. From within Word I selected "Print" then "Save as Adobe pdf" from the print menu. Result: file size = 209 KB.
It worked great. The "Create pdf" in the "File" menu was the problem. Thank you so much.

PDF file and Microsoft Word files

I love all the big improvements apple is making to their product lines. But I am a practical person who needs to open pdf. files and Microsoft Word files on the go. That is why I will still pick a Treo, Dash, and any other pda over the Iphone. When is apple going to make a real war against PDA's and produce these kinds of software? This would make the Iphone the ultimate phone.

Actually you CAN store them on your phone -- you need to download the free program FileMarkMaker (Its in versiontracker for mac, don't know if it is available for PC users)
It allows you to attach any PDF within a URL address and save it as a bookmark, and sync it to your iPhone. You can then read it anytime (you don't need an internet connection) by going to the name of the link you created for the file in Safari. Works perfectly -- I have everything from Maps of the subway stations for the cities I visit to manuals and documents on it.
Just one caveat -- you can't search or use other features from within that Safari page - it will just crash the safari application -- you need to change to a blank safari page before you can use google or other safari features.

Cannot preview PDF files in MS Word

After downloading Adobe XI I cannot preview PDF files from MS Word file list

Word cannot and will not open or preview PDFs because a PDF IS NOT a word document or text document.
If you try File>Open and choose a PDF you will see a page full of Unicode which makes up the PDF. That I guarantee will be completely useless to you.
PDFs open in Reader and Acrobat (or Foxit - but that's not an Adobe product)

Icon issues when embed pdf file into a word document

I recently updated my Acrobat Reader on my laptop with windows 2010 and no every time I need to embed a PDF file into a word document the ICON for the pdf file is not correct, I have to browse manually everytime and it is becoming very time consuming, specially when you need to embed large amount of documents.
This problem it only happens with PDF files, I uninstalled office and the adobe acrobat reader and the problem continues, according to Microsoft support the problem is not word but the Adobe Reader, I do not know what to do since I tried everything on the internet.
It looks to me that somehow when I updated my reader the link between the Reader and Office is broken and office is not correctly linked to the right folder were the PDF reader Icon is located.

You can rebuild the icon database on your windows Vista/Windows 7 system by doing this:
1) rename the hidden file named IconCache.db to IconCache-old.db. this file is hidden so you may need to unhide it. the file is in your profile folder <%userprofile%\AppData\Local> %userprofile% represents the path to user profile folder.
Now Close all folder windows that are currently open and follow these steps.
1. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
2. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
3. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
4. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
5. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
Hope this helps and let us know if it worked or not. If this doesn't work then File Association may be another method to try.
Good luck.
