Attachment settings

I have a PDF file which has an embedded ".xls" file in it.  When I try to open it up I get an error message: "Acrobat cannot the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened".  Is there a way to change the settings to allow this to be opened?  If so, where do I locate the settings feature?

  • Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

    I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open.  I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment.  When I double click attachment I get the following error message.  Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

    You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
    Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
    Let us know if you need help with that.  Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.

  • Web jetadmin digital sending - email attachment settings

    One of the settings in Web JetAdmin under DIGITAL SENDING is DIGITAL SENDING - EMAIL ATTACHMENT SETTINGS and the options are SMALL, STANDARD and LARGE.
    What do these options do? What are small, standard and large? Are they detailed om Mb etc?
    Thanks

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • File too large - attachment settings not working

    Hi there
    We are having problems with attaching files in IMS 5.2 & wondered if anybody can help.
    Our outgoing mail message max size is set to 50MB (I know about the extra 33% space required for encoding) and yet we still cannot attach files to emails that are greater than 5MB.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is not working?
    Anytime we try to send a 7 or 8 MB file an error "File too large "comes up right away
    The settings in the messaging server console is set to 50MB. This is under the HTTP service
    There was a previous post but the solution did not solve my problem.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    There are separate settings for webmail attaqchments. Please check documentation at:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6020-10/cfgutil.htm
    and look at:
    service.http.maxmessagesize
    and
    service.http.maxpostsize
    these both default to 5 megs.
    You have to restart the webmail daemon to make a change take effect.

  • Source Attachment Settings in Flash Builder

    Hello everyone,
    I am facing an issue with debugging. I don't want to step through the framework code in the debug mode. To avoid that, I removed the Source attachments, by selecting that node in the tree and clicking on remove. But it doesn't save the change settings. When I debug after saving these settings, it jumps to framework classes e.g. UIComponent etc. After looking at it again, I can again see the Source attachments. I tried looking at the entire checked out source, but not able to find out, how this Source attachment setting is working in Flash Builder. I don't want to jump through framework classes. Is it possible to do this ?
    Note: After the experiments above, I removed the Flex SDK and then copied all the swc classes and put them in a separate folder, still Flash Builder is able to find out the source attachment. Any light on how it works
    Thank you
    Chetan Sachdev

    Hi Chetan,
    Please use the Labs forums for questions regarding the beta release, as the Builder team won't find your post here. These forums are used for discussing development on the Flex framework and other Flex open source related discussions.
    Thanks,

  • Cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

    I think this issue may have been posted elsewhere, but I have tried all solutions offered with no success.  I am attempting to open a Link within a secure PDF file when I receive the error above. I have made registry changes and verified the trust manager settings. Is there anything else I can do?

    You should be able to check by opening the Attachments panel on the left (paperclip icon) and looking at the file extension.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro can't open zip attachment in Adobe tutorial PDF

    I'd like to go through one of the CSS tutorials here on the Adobe site, and have downloaded the relevant PDF which includes a .zip attachment for the source files needed to follow the tut.
    Problem is, Acrobat 9 Pro keeps telling me "Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this type of file to be opened."
    The Acrobat Help suggested fix - setting the file to allow it to open attachments - doesn't work. I also set StuffIt Expander to be the default app for expanding zip files in the Mac OS, to no avail.
    Data point: I'm running the latest update of Leopard on one of the new MBPs.
    The recalcitrant PDF is linked from this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/designing_for_web_05.html - "Getting your web design to the browser'.
    Anybody else encountered the same problem and found a fix?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    No product should force security on its users without providing them any practical way to override. Web browsers, email clients, and operating systems warn you of potentially dangerous files and then let the client make the choice. What if it's a zip file from a trusted source full of harmless text documents? Too bad - because Acrobat says so. Acrobat makes no attempt to examine the zip file to see if perhaps its contents are dangerous - it just sweepingly decides zips are far too dangerous to let the user have any voice in the matter. I fundamentally disagree.
    Notice that I've attached a zip file to this post. Adobe allows zips on their forums but not in their PDF documents. Adobe: If you've deemed zip files safe enough to be hosted and delivered in your own forums, why have you decided they have no place in a PDF?
    I think Adobe got this one wrong - and I cast a vote that they loosen the noose on zip files on a future release. I'd like to hear other users' thoughts on this issue. Adobe is good at listening to their users - so tell them what you think on this issue - I've posted this article as a feature request here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/520515 - reply to it that thread and share your viewpoint.

  • Attachment lost in BPM

    Hi Experts,
    we upgraded from PI 7.0 to PI 7.1
    At 7.0 we had one scenario where a message with an attachment was received in a Business Process and later send via ABAP proxy to a SAP ECC. On 7.1 this is not working anymore, we just see the attachment in the incoming message but not in the proxy message (SXMB_MONI).
    My questions:
    - Is it possible to identify attachments in BPM monitoring?
    - Does anybody have an explanation for that 7.1 behaviour?
    - Is there any place to configure bpm/attachment settings?
    Regards,
    Udo

    Hi  Udo,
          My problem is similar to yours. We are on SAP PI 7.1 SP6 I am creating attachement at mapping time and I am able to see attachment at all Integration Server pipeline steps but when I see the message at ECC end using SXI_MONITOR I am unable to see the attachement.  Any help on this? Appreciate for your response.
    Thanks,

  • Attached Documnets couldnt be retrived after rendering the Form

    Hello,
    I am using a process in which I render a pdf form (as XDP) and use a exceuteScript service to retrive attachment form a Database as a BLOB.
    I have done required conversions of BLOB to com.adobe.idp.Document i.e Document Type and these  document is then uesd as attachment to create a Map of Documents as required in renderPDFForm operation.
    Now process runs fine and it renders a PDF which i saved to see the attachments being attached, on pin Symbol of Acrobat.
    But when i try to open or Save the attachment (just as a check) it gives a warning and doesnt allow me to do so.
    The warning shown is :
    "Adobe cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this
    file type to be opened" (when trying to open form Pin Symbol)
    Other warning when i select attachment and try to save it from PIN sysmbol is
    "You have selected a file that cannot be exported from acrobat".
    Kindly suggest as to what is the problem.

    I am running into a similar scenario where a flat file (ASCII) is attached to a PDF form and when the file has no extension, the file can be attached but can not be saved or viewed after the file is attached.  Adobe gives the same error "Adobe Reader security settings do not allow this type of file to be opened."
    We already have the preference set to allow the opening of non-pdf file attachments.
    We have been able to edit the registry to allow the opening of a file with the .ASC extension, but when there is no extension, we are finding that Microsoft Registry settings will not accept the wildcard setting (.*).
    We are running Adobe Reader version 9.1.

  • Attachments in pdf Portfolio

    I keep getting the error message:  Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.
    I have a .exe file within a pdf portfolio.  I have already changed the Trust settings, but it still wont open or extract this file type.  Is there a fix for this?
    Using Acrobat X

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 9.5 on my machine and I am not able to see any problem in opening non PDF file attachments.
    Please give the exact version of Acrobat you are using ( to see the version go to  Help -> About Adobe Acrobat).
    Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e 9.5.
    As you have mentioned that in Preferences-> Trust Manager-> Allow opening of non PDF file attachment with external applications is grayted out,
    is it a custom installation of Acrobat ?? because in normal installation this option is not grayed out.
    Thanks.

  • Got myself in a color profile pickle - Windows 7

    So I'm using PS CS4 on Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100).
    I have profile my monitor using a cheap Spyder Express colorimeter. This produces an icc profile called spyder2express which is loaded up on startup. I know it loads correctly because it's configured to load after 10 secs delay, so I see the screen (24inch samsung 1920x1200) lose its blueish tinge.
    Now then. Before I messed around with my settings photoshop would display colors wrongly. Images that appeared normal in picasa, fastone, windows image etc would get messed up in photoshop, colors were way too vivid, like someone had boosted the saturation too much.
    So after a bit of fiddling the ONLY way I can get my colors to look right in PS was to configure the attached settings.
    Now when I open an image from my camera (srgb) I get the profile mismatch dialog, and the only option that seems to match my other windows photo software is to choose 'discard profile'. I konw this isn't right, so please help me figure out why my spyderexpress profile isn't working as it should is ps.
    Thank you, JT

    Having identical issue. Using monitor profile from Eye-One. Windows 7 and CS4. The colours are over saturated straght out of the camera, the profile for that is Adobe RGB. I have the colour settings for the workspace as Adobe RGB as well.
    The only solution I have come to is the same as originally posted.
    Open in workspace
    Assign monitor profile - the colours are corrected
    Convert to Adobe RGB - so that I'm not binding the image to the monitor profile.
    It is a pain - especially as I have thousands of images this is effecting.
    Has anyone found an alternative solution for this?

  • Acrobat Reader don't allow this file type to be opened! (Excel)

    I have several PDF files that were generated in a previous version of Adobe Acrobat. They are converted folders from outlook into PDF. These PDF's contain email communication about a certain topic. Some of the emails contain attachments, like excel workbooks. It worked fine.
    But now I have switched to newer versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, suddenly I get the message "Acrobat cannot open the file type attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened". See picture below.
    What is the solution here!
    I have Adobe reader 9.5.5 and Adobe Acrobat X (Version 10.0.0) installed om my computer (Windows 7). Going back to the previous versions is not the solution, because the software / hardware are supplied/set by my company policies.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've found the solution myself.
    Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Trust Manager and select "Allow opening of non-PDF file attachements with external applications". See below.

  • Jpeg email attachments won't open in OS 10.10

    Picture attachments to Mail won't open when in OS 10.10, but same message opens okay in iOS

    Look at Mail>preferences>accounts. Highlight the account>advanced. Look at the attachment settings. That may help.

  • Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    That is a function of the recipient's e-mail software understanding what your software sent.  If it doesn't it will always show as an icon or attachment.   It is also a function of both your internet provider and their internet provider accepting messages of that size, and a function of their download attachment settings in their e-mail program.  There is no way to guarantee it will appear inline in the attachment.   The best you can do is attach with Windows Friendly format.  To do that, use the attach toolbar icon that looks like a paperclip, (View menu -> Customize toolbar if invisible) on Mac OS X Mail when composing the message.   A checkbox appears in the file dialog box's bottom to make it Windows friendly when you navigate to pick the PDF file.  That makes it as universally compatible as possible.  It still may not appear inline, but at least you are less likely to be incompatible.

  • Password protected files not opening with acrobat reader 9

    I receive text file embedded in a PDF which is password protected. I just changed my comp from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and got the reader 9 duly updated.
