Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it.  Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

Windows 8, Firefox email client.  What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files.  Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder.  I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.

    Why do I sometimes receive email attachments in the body of the email and how can I download and print from there?

    To save attachments, a couple of options include: (1) control-click on attachment, select "Save Attachment...", (2)  Click on "Show Details" in the upper right corner of the message, which then gives you some attachment functions including "Save".

  • Name/type of downloaded email attachments is changed to attachment.ashx or something similar

    I access an email account at the site below which provides Microsoft Outlook Web access. Since the last Firefox update to version 8.0, the true name/type of email attachments that I download is changed to attachment.ashx (or attachment1.ashx etc if there are several downloaded files. This is very inconvenient. Note that the problem does not exist when downloading attachments from aol.com. There is also no problem when I use IE as browser. Version/system details below are correct.

    Outlook Web Access sends an illegal Content-Dispositon header to Firefox. This is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. Firefox 9 will have a workaround for this so that Microsoft has time to fix their software.<br>

  • Why do documents (e.g., email attachments) save to my desktop when I open them?

    Why do documents (e.g., email attachments) save to my desktop when I open them?

    Hello Glyn.
    Check Setting the location for attachments that you open in Mail.
    The default location is the downloads folder located at Home/Library/Mail/Downloads which can be changed per the following.
    1. Choose Mail > Preferences and click General.
    2. Choose Other from the Downloads Folder pop-up menu and select a location.
    Sounds like you selected the Desktop as the default location.

    Hi,
    I have just got myself a new PC with Windows 7 (64bits). Using IE 8 (32 bit version), I am unable to download emails attachments from my normal Yahoo account ([email protected]). I have read somewhere that this could be due to the fact that Yahoo uses Norton as antivirus scan for email attachments, and that this could clash with BT NetProtectPlus (McAfee under the bonnet). Is there an option I need to switch off (and if so which one / how) in BT NetProtectPlus in order for me to be able to download attachments via Yahoo mail ?
    Please note that this used to work on my previous PC (Windowx XP).
    Thanks for your help. This is getting really frustrating !
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    To be honest, there would not really be a clash between the products you've mentioned, because the online system using Norton is a server system and actioned before any download. There is possibly an option in BTNetprotect for "email scanning" or similar. This option can be turned off in the general case, since disk writes are covered anyway,
    Have you tried another browser (e.g. Firefox, Opera or Safari) to see if the same conditions exist ?
    Is there any particular error message or delay you are seeing ?

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

    I can't open them without buying software when the same emails on my iPhone have the attachment as a PDF and open?  Thanks

    I have an 80 Mbps internet download connection and it took 5 hours to download a movie with standard definition from itunes with my apple tv.  It took 3 minutes when I used netflix on my ps3.  Where is apple supports response to these issues?....there are thousands of posts of people with the same problems!  Speedtest.net confirms my download speed is 80 Mbps!  I have reset and restarted my apple tv and download speeds of movies are still unacceptably slow!  What is the point of these discussions when Apple techs don't even read or respond to our posts?
    Not using OpenDNS by any chance?  Using OpenDNS has caused issues as some Apple server access gets re-routed to slow servers (Akamai servers from memory).

    Hi there,
    There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

  • Trouble downloading email attachments

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why all of a sudden (about a couple of months ago) email attachments such as pictures, wmv files and slides won't open any more. It looks as if the files are downloading but instead of then opening and playing, nothing happens. The black slideshow box opens and indicates however many pictures there are, but it just goes round in circles and remains black. Grateful for any help.

    No luck unfortunately
    I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
    While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

  • VPN:  Unable to see server files, download Email attachments

    I recently installed the Apani Contivity VPN client in order to connect my home iMac with my company's servers. The Apani product was the client specified by my company. I can access the company's servers, but cannot see individual files. According to my company's IT department, this is because my company uses Microsoft's Distributed File System, whick OS X is unable to access. Has anyone else had similar problems and know of a workaround? In what may be a related matter, when I connect through VPN to my company Email account, I am unable to open or download message attachments. I have used both Entourage and Thunderbird Email programs, again as recommended by my IT department. Can anyone offer any advice here?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hmm.
    I'm going to defer this to someone more adept at VPN's,
    but it sure sounds like permissions that aren't set properly on the server.
    Don't let your techies off the hook too easily.
    And as far as the attachments...is this using an email client, after you've made the VPN connection...on the 'inside'?
    (what kind of attachments, did you say? Word, pdf?)
    If you can't see files in those folders, there's a probability that you don' t have "permissions" to run the programs associated with the attachments.
    See why it sure looks like it's falling back on your network gurus.
