Allow Opening Of Non-PDF File Attachments With External Applications

If this is an Adobe initiative, then "grrrr, thanks a lot".  Or, is this something on our local end?
Lately we cannot open Excel (.xls or .xlsx) and Word documents (97-2003 or later versions) out of a PDF potfolio.  We upgraded to Reader 9.4.6 and I think it was around that time (maybe even 9.4.5) that this ability went away.  In the versions we have you cannot check "Allow opening on non-PDF....." as it is greyed out.  Is this where you allow .doc and .xls files to open?

I too am having difficulty after upgrading to 9.4.6, but I am unable to open PDF files from my web browser (both Chrome and IE). If I edit my preferences and allow the PDF to open in the browser window, I can see them, but opening the application from a web page does not work.
Turning pop up blocker off/on does not make a difference.
Other files seem to open fine.

  • Can not open winmail.dat PDF file attachments

    clients send pdf attachments usually electrical drawings for bid and a winmail.dat pdf file shows in attachment. I click on and error message says can not open this type file. I have adobe reader Why?

    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.

  • Firefox will open a 1Mb PDF file. With 30Mb PDF file Firefox gives error "File not found". Both PDFs from Adobe web site. Using PC with XP-sp3. Firefox 3.6.13

    Option in "Tools/Options/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Document" is set to "use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox". If I change the option to "Use Adobe Reader 9.2 (default)" then the large file gets downloaded and then opens in Reader.
    Any help appreciated.

    I originally posted this nearly 2 months ago. Is no-one else having this problem...???
    I upgraded to Firefox V3.6.16; problem still happening.
    Anyone got any ideas please...???

  • I can't open PDF File Attachments

    Hello,
    I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
    In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
    Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
    And I can just open Word and Excel files.
    If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
    Someone has a idea.
    Regards
    Erdem

    Hi Aadesh,
    I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application'  on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
    I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.
    Regards
    Erdem

  • Hyperlink to a non-pdf file

    I have a number of pdf files as pages in an ASP.NET website.<br />I want to include hyperlinks to other pages that are not pdf files.<br />I get the message "Could not open the file <file name>" which means that acrobat tries to open the file and not to transfer the control.<br />Is there a means to make Acrobat 9 pro Extended to return the control to the website?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dinu

    Thanks for the suggestion.<br />Indeed AA9Ext offers Edit | Preferences | Trust Manager where I ticked "Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications". It doesn't work, apparently my problem is not related to "file attachments".<br />I get "Security Block - Acrobat does not allow connection to: <url>"

    With the free Reader if they are not print protected. With Acrobat otherwise.

  • I need to use Softsign, but my iPad keeps opening up my .pdf file instead of allowing me to "open with"... of allowing me to "open with"

    I would like to use Softsign on my iPad, but mail keeps opening up my .pdf files so I cannot "open with" Softsign...please help, I gather part of the problem is that some files are single pages and that triggers their opening...

    No need to post your billing info here. This is a public forum. In any case, have you tried to check with the developer for support to get it going first? What do you have to lose.
    In any case, here is maybe where you want to correspond with Apple directly:

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

  • Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?

    Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox.  Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox.  Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?

    George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS).  I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
    As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know.  I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using??  I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
    Many, many thanks for your reply!!

  • Opening pdf files encrypted with private *.p12 key (ANDROID)

    Hi,
    I was curious if acrobat reader will be equipped with this functionality?
    I have secured pdf files signed with private *.p12 certificate key.
    I have installed certificate in Android settings, but I still pdf files won't open. It's says this functionality is not supported.
    Is there anything I'm doing wrong? This is SHA 256 something. In other pdf readers it says secured with "adobe.pubsec"
    Please respond,  I'll provide any details You want.

    Currently we are not supporting this functionality with Reader on Android.
    We have noted down your request and will try to incorporate the same in future releases.
    Thanks,

  • Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

    Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
    I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

    The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
    Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.
