Adobe Reader 9 & email jpg files

Every time I try to open an attachment in an email that contains photos with the Adobe logo + jpg format, I receive the message:
"this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
What am I supposed to do? Can't figure it out. (I can see the photos in the email but want to open the attachments.)

This has more to do with how the image is embeded into the email and the
email program you are using than windows file associations. You can try
to right click on the file to save to disk and then open the file
directly in Windows.

  • Adobe Reader does not recognize file name (filename10.5.11.pdf) but does in Adobe Standard 9.  Why?

    I post documents to our Intranet site and found out recently that Adobe Reader does not recognize certain file names in PDF files.  For instance,  when trying to open a PDF file with the name
    filename10.5.11.pdf  in Adobe Reader, the web browser will not open the PDF and the display is blank.   When I'm using another computer with Adobe Standard 9, I do not have a problem opening the file.
    I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and why Reader will not recognize the file name and Standard does.

    The version is Adobe Reader 10.1.0    I will request the latest version
    and let you know if that fixes the problem
    Actually I had changed the name of the file so our associates could access
    the file (changed the  .  to a hyphen)  It still made me wonder why Reader
    wouldn't open it at that time.
    Thanks again for you assistance and I will let you know if this resolves
    the  issue.
    Regards,
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks for providing the information.
    Could you also let me know what is the exact version of Adobe Reader on
    your system. You can check the same y clicking on Help > About Adobe
    Reader X.
    In case its not 10.1.1, please try updating to the latest version and see
    if the problem persists.
    Also, does any other PDF with a different filename open in Internet
    Explorer correctly?
    Thanks
    Ankit

  • How do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

    how do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

    Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
    In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.

  • Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

    My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
    on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
    Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
    During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
    each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
    is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
    IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
    (0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
    Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
    CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
    The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
    anything at the moment.
    Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
    individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
    Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted? 
    Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
    What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
    files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
    The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003
    abcpy.ini                          2KB          Configuration Settings        3/24/2003

    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
    After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
    After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
    As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

  • Adobe Reader could not open "file"

    Adobe Reader could not open "file" because it is either not a supported file or it has been damaged. All files and programs on the desktop are shown as Adobe Reader ikons. When I remove the Adobe Reader program, the desktop is ok but when I reinstall the Adobe Reader it makes a mess again on the desktop and in all programs. It seems that the Adobe Reader is somehow a default program for all applications. How do I solve that problem? Best regards Helle D.

    For your first question: are you sure that 'file' is a PDF file and that it is not damaged? And you may find this useful for your second question:

  • Adobe Reader can't open file

    Hello, why do I get the message "Adobe can't open file: IMG.jpg." when trying to open an enclosed file?

    It sounds like you are trying to open a .jpg. Reader only opens PDF files.
    If that isn't the case, more information would be helpful.

  • Adobe Reader X and *.pps files

    Dear Sir or Madam:
    With the recent Adobe Reader upgrade (?) to Reader X, I have encountered a problem attempting to open previous received  *.psa files as well as those received after the upgrade.
    When attempting to open the file, the following error message is received:"Adobe Reader could not open *.pps because it it either not a  supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was't correctly decoded.)  I have attempted to Repair the Reader twice, without success.  Also, one of the recommendation is to "Enable 3rd Party Browser Extensions" under Internet Options, Tools, Advance Settings.  This requirement is enabled.
    What is the solution?  When Adobe provides an update, they should send a workable upgrade and not one that wreaks havoc on a clinet's computer.  

    Thank you for your reply.  Your response answers my question.  The only
    remaining item, I could open emailed Power Point and Photo Album files me with earlier versions of Adobe Reader?  I will attempt removing Reader X and download an earlier version from Adobe's web page.
    Once again, thanks.

  • Having compatiblity issues with adobe reader.  What pdf file software should I use with Mac

    Having problem with Adobe reader what software works well on mac for pdf file creation/reading and sending via email.  Also how do I uninstall adobe reader so that all hints of it are erased.

    To remove the Adobe PDF Reader:
    1. Drag the Adobe Reader folder from the Applications folder to the Trash
    2. Remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder
    Macs offer good PDF capability in the operating system. You can use Word or other program to create somthing you want to save/send in PDF format, then choose print, click on the PDF button at the bottom of the print window, where you can choose to email the PDF file.

  • Latest Adobe Reader update deleted all files from my desktop - help please!

    Dear all!
    Yesterday I opened up a .pdf document with Adobe Reader. I clicked the Help | Check for Updates option. The reader informed me that there was an update available. I then disabled my antivirus (as is recommended). I selected the available update by checking the box next to it. I then clicked the Download option.
    The update began to download. At that moment I noticed that the .pdf document was still open (i.e. Adobe Reader was still running). Knowing that the installation, when it begins, tends to notify me that it must close Adobe Reader in order for the installation to continue, I decided to close Adobe Reader myself before being prompted to do so. All was fine until that moment, as the update download and install runs in a completely separate process from the Reader, it was not affected.
    After I closed the Reader, with the update still running I noticed that all files I had on my desktop were gone. None of the folders were missing, just the single files and most of my shortcuts. I checked to see if the files were just invisible or phisically missing. It was the latter. Windows Explorer showed that all files I had on my desktop were gone (deleted/overwritten I guess). A search of my computer for the file names came up empty, even though I was searching with the "search hidden and system files" options enabled!
    I tried a number of deleted file restoration softwares but none have identified the desktop files I was missing.
    Be so kind as to spare me from the "did you check the power cord" category of "answers", as I am not a complete idiot. The Acrobat Update, or something associated with it has to be at the root of this problem, as the antivirus software I have installed came up empty when I searched the computer for virurses, worms and the likes...
    All help on this matter would be appreciated. Needless to say, most of my current work was stored on the desktop...
    I am running WindowsXP sp. 3, Acrobat Reader 9.34
    With regards
    jack_84

    Please ignore the previous unrelated reply - I will deal with it separately.
    I must first say that this is a very puzzling problem, and that I have never heard of anything like it.  Apart from the missing desktop content, it also puzzles me that you state your Adobe Reader version as 9.34, when the latest Reader version is actually 9.3.2.
    Anyway, how to solve it?  Can I assume that you do not have a very recent backup, from where you can simply restore all the lost content?
    I do not know if your desktop content is really gone (deleted), or if it is somehow just not visible.  There are a few things we can try, but I strongly suggest that you make a full backup of your system before you try anything!
    Since I have never seen this before, I cannot make any definitive recommendations, but just suggest what I would do if that happened on my computer.  Again, not before making a full backup.
    Uninstall Adobe Reader.
    System Restore to a time before the problem started.
    Check the following registry keys, if they have a value 'NoDesktop', and what it is set to
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
    If you are on XP Pro, you can use gpedit.msc to check these settings (Configuration | Administrative Templates | Desktop ["Hide and disable all items on the desktop"]).

  • How do I run Adobe Reader to display pdf files in Windows 8?

    I'm confused! Where is the executable for adobe pdf reader in windows 8? I want to launch it from powershell to display a pdf file. It used to be trivial in windows 7 but now the adobe pdf reader is an app and I cannot find the executable using the task
    manager.
    Can someone help me launch it from cmd.exe or powershell_ise to display a pdf file?
    I just downloaded and installed the Adobe PDF reader and I cannot execute the reader c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe. I get no error messages and no GUI display. What is going on?
    Thanks,
    Siegfried
    siegfried heintze

    Hi,
    As far as I know, that Windows 8 has a reader by default, it seems like it is Microsoft Reader. It could used to read PDF file. And I have not ever use powershell to manage to use it.
    The  PDF reader is a Modern UI app; we cannot run Modern UI apps on the desktop. So I don't think powershell could manage it.

  • Adobe reader opening all Exe Files.

    I believe I accidently set preferences so that all exe files are opened by adobe reader. Once I uninstalled Adobe reader all .exe files went back to normal. However on re installing Adobe reader all exe files have gone back to opening using adobe reader. When Reader was uninstalled I checked the registry for exe files and was told HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
    should have a default value of exefile, which it does and then checked HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command which must have a default value of "%1" %* which it does. I can not change the registry while adobe reader is installed as the program regedit is an exe. Is there an Adobe register which I must change or another method I can use?
    Thanks if you understood that.

    Hi,
    Can someone please help me resolve this problem?  I had no problem using Adobe Reader 8 but since removing Adobe Reader 8 and download the updated Adobe Reader 9, I cannot open any pdf files or the Adobe Reader 9 (on desktop) without receiving the following error message:
    "Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I tried several times to download and reinstall Adobe Reader 9 without any success.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

  • WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

    I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"  I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open?  Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software.  Really frustrating,  Can any one help?

    We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
    It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
    Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
    Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
    For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs.  Home users never use this technology.
    However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
    I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.
