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.

  • How do I create a pdf portfolio from multiple .msg email files including all attachments in a single step process?

    I have tried creating the portfolio from Outlook directly, but only the first email is viewable in the portfolio including a hyperlink to the attachment (but the attachment is missing otherwise). This seems to be a setting issue, but I have had no luck with finding any setting options to change this.
    I have also tried to create a portfolio from my desktop but when opening the portfolio, nothing shows up as if it didn't take the .msg files.
    The obvious option of creating a pdf from each individual email and combining it with the pdf attachment would take forever and is unrealistic as the emails are in thousands.
    Thanks for your time and help on this issue!

    Hey Bob%20Sacks,
    Could you please specify what version of Acrobat are you using.
    You can go to Preferences under Adobe PDF option in the menu bar and choose 'Include all attachments' option under Attachments label.
    Then, select the desired messages in Outlook and create a PDF portfolio by right-clicking and choosing Convert to Adobe PDF option from the context menu. 
    Now, open the portfolio and it will appear as shown in the screenshot below:
    You can view all your files by clicking on the navigation arrows on the left-hand side.

  • Is there any way to print multiple attachments from an Adobe PDF Portfolio without having to open each attachent individually?

    We have a large PDF Portfolio with many attachments and would like to print those items all at once without opening every single attachment. I would think think that this is possible considering I took the files from outlook 2003 and you are able to print an email and its attachments in that program. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

    Portfolios only support the printing of PDF files (more specifically, PDF files whose security permissions allow printing). You can print all PDF files in a Portfolio without opening them all simply by opening the Portfolio and clicking on the print button in the Portfolio toolbar. If desired, you can also limit it to a selection of PDF files.
    Unfortunately non-PDF files will need to be opened and printed individually from their respective apps.

  • Can't open word doc attachments in pdf mail portfolio

    I created a pdf portfolio by converting outlook mail messages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open the attachments but my coworkers are unable to open email attachments that are word documents (they can open pdfs).  When they go to Preferences --> Trust Manager, the first option about pdf attachments is grayed out and cannot be selected. 
    Can anyone please help tell me how to make the word documents accesible to other users.
    Thank you

  • How do I create a single PDF Portfolio from an Outlook 2011 email with multiple non-pdf attachments?

    How do I create a single PDF Portfolio from an Outlook 2011 email with multiple non-pdf attachments?
    Email has 3 attachments--some are not pdf. I'd like all three converted into pdf files along with the email itself, and all appear in the email's pdf portfolio.

    I would also like an answer to this question. 
    I am trying to convert an Outlook email to a PDF, then all attachment are appended to the PDF as pages instead of attachments. 

  • How to: Flatten Adobe PDF Portfolio containing email and attachments

    How do you flatten an Adobe PDF Portfolio in Adobe XI Pro.  The Portfolio contains emails with various attachments.  I need to produce a single PDF with all emails and attachments as "images/pages" (as they would appear when printed).  Attachments need to follow their corresponding email in order.  All links, metadata, etc. will be stripped out and various text redactions applied to the final PDF. 

    I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
    The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
    Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
    Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
    I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
    Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
    Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

  • PDF portfolio works in what versions?

    How do I know what versions or Acrobat or Reader my PDF portfolio will work in?
    Will it work in reader?

    PDF Portfolios will work in both Acrobat and Reader 9.
    In addition,
    "By default, PDF Portfolios created in Acrobat 9 will open in earlier  versions of Acrobat and Reader and the PDF Portfolio will make the best  use of the features available to it. When opened in version 8, the PDF  Portfolio will act like a PDF Package and in version 7 and 6, the  contents will appear as attachments"

  • PDF Portfolio, consistent attachment panel size

    Hello,
    I have created a PDF portfolio in Pro v9.
    In my attachments panel, the attachment icons are lined up in one column.
    When I send this portfolio to others (they have v9), the icons in the attachments panel are lined up in 2 columns.
    Is there a way to set this so there is a consistent view?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Hi Jim,
    You need to have full Flash Player on your system to view content in PDF Portfolios when using Acrobat/Reader 10.x or 11.x.
    Please refer https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html

  • PDF Portfolio without Adobe Flash

    In Acrobat, is there anyway to create a PDF Portfolio, or otherwise combine separate PDF files into one, without using Adobe Flash. Our IT people do not want us using Flash because of security concerns (sorry Adobe).

    Basically, no. The "Portfolio" of Acrobat 9, X and XI *is* the Flash UI wrapped in the PDF.
    You could approach it in the manner that Adobe took with Acrobat 8.
    Again, the core content would be the attached files. The PDF with the attachments is a traditional PDF.
    Be well...

  • How can I open a PDF portfolio in an ipad mini ?

    I am new in Apple things and the first one I get (ipad mini) is not able to open a PDF porfolio with 30 pages. All I get is a message suggesting me to download Adobe Reader which I did but still the same and all I can get after is open only the first page of the portfolio but no way to navigate through the document. Would someone help ?

    When a portfolio PDF is opened in Adobe Reader for iOS, what you will get is a list of the documents that are included in the portfolio. A portfolio isn't a document with pages, it is a container for file attachments that has a Flash-based interface. Flash is not allowed on iOS as it is on a Windows or Mac OS, to the list of files is all you get.
    If you don't see the list of documents, then it may be that you're not opening the portfolio PDF in Adobe Reader, but rather iOS's built-in PDF viewer. Look for the Open In icon and select Adobe Reader if that's the case.
    If you're using the term "PDF portfolio" to refer to something else, post again and calrify exactly what you mean.

  • Viewing File Attachments in a Portfolio

    Hi,
    Asus Transformer TF101 running 4.0.3
    Workstation: Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
    Tablet: Adobe Reader X (v10.2.0 J)
    So I made a portfolio on my workstation with two pdf files.
    In one of the portfolio files I added a file attachment by Opening File>Comment>Attach File.
    Saved file and saved portfolio.
    Open in Reader X on my workstation - no problems - selecting paperclip opens attached file.
    However, when I save to my tablet and open portfolio and file I see the paperclip icon but attachment doesn't open on click.
    Any idea why? Do I need make portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro X rather than 9 to make this work.
    Recent announcement for Reader X says this should work - in fact has been out since 10.1.1: "Enhancements to Portfolios list and File Attachments on iOS: You can now view non-PDF children in PDF portfolios, and PDF File attachments on the iOS Reader. These capabilities already exist on Android since Reader 10.1.1"
    Any help is appreciated - Thanks,
    Muns

    Anyone with info on this ? I have just ran into this problem myself, hard to believe there isn't a way to fix this .

  • Workaround to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio?

    Hello All,
    We use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6.
    Our office will not update to Acrobat X until CS6 becomes available for purchase.
    We run Office 2010 Pro 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
    We need to archive email in a way that can be sorted in a PDF Portfolio by date or attachments to email.
    I wrote VBA code to save email from an entire folder or several selected folders as .HTML files with the same folder structure on disk as was in Outlook. This works for sorting by date of email, but it does not allow for the attachments to stay attached to the email.
    I thought about downgrading Acrobat to 9.0, but I am unsure if this is possible.
    Has anyone found a way to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio which would allow sorting by which email have attachments?
    Thanks,
    edsager
    P.S. A few extra steps would definitely add more benefit than cost.

    To resolve error 0x8004010F , identify the current location of your default Outlook data file, and then create a new Outlook profile.
    Step 1- Locate the default Outlook data file
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    In Control Panel, click Mail.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Show Profiles.
    Select your current Outlook profile, and then click Properties.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Data Files.
    Select the Data Files tab in the Account Settings dialog box, and then note the name and location of the default data file for your profile (a check mark will denote the default data file).
    Click Close.
    Step 2 - Create a new Outlook profile
    Step 3 - Configure your new Outlook profile as the default profile

  • PDF Portfolios Source File links

    Is there a way to allow editing in the source files original location & have the portfolio stay linked & update from this, rather than portfolio automatically copying the source file to a temporary location?

    No, and I doubt there ever will be. A PDF Portfolio is just a set of attachments, so think of it like a ZIP file - the documents you add to it become embedded copies rather than links, and to include information in the Portfolio about where the original files came from would be a huge privacy issue. Would you want a customer finding out their quotation came from a folder called "quotes/annoying clients/2012" ??

  • How to protect a pdf-file in a pdf-portfolio against extraction?

    How to protect a pdf-file in a pdf-portfolio against extraction?

    You can't.
    Portfolios are just a single-page document with a bunch of attached files - the act of opening one of those attachments is identical to the act of "extracting" it into a new document, so blocking it would stop the Portfolio from working.
