Can no longer open email PDF attachment in iBooks

Just discovered can no longer open on iPad mini any email attachment PDF file in iBooks. Cannot tap attachment and select open in iBooks. PDF attachment opens itself automatically on the body of the email. Is this a PDF problem or iPad problem or iBooks problem.

It's not a problem with either app. Just hold down on the open PDF to bring up the "open in" window. If hold down on the open PDF and select "Quick Look" , that will give you the full screen file and you will see the share icon in the upper right corner.

I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document." When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

Quit Mail and restart.
Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

I can no longer open any PDF after my trial of Acrobat XI Pro finished...Help

I would try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

''I solved the problem by doing an uninstall and reinstall of Firefox ''
Glad that worked for you. <br /> Whilst posters in this thread have the same broad and vague symptom the cause may vary. Reinstalling Firefox may be overkill for this type of problem, and a simple reinstall is often not a very good solution to anything.
Walter & the sign out solution.<br />Probably a quick and simple trick if it works. The clear cache and site cookies suggestion in the second post of this thread is probably a more reliable method of doing of solving that sort of issue.

This reminds me of another Forum I was on.
Threads often had suggested solutions along the lines of
#Uninstall browser A use browser B, that worked for me
#Followed by another poster saying uninstall browser B use A
In fact the thread would be one where clearing cache and cookies would be the preferred solution. Uninstalling a browser and reinstalling a brand new instance of another has a similar effect to clearing cache and cookies, but is nowhere near as convenient.

Why can't I open email pdf ad administrator, while computer user can?

I can't ope email pdf file as administrator, while computer user can?

When I opened outlook yesterday, there was a 7 mb pdf I needed to review. I moved my cursor over the pdf. A description window opened detailing the pdf specs. However, Double clicking did not open the pdf. Right clicking did not open a drop down options window. I had the file sent to me three times under different names but the pdf would not open. Opening up older emails I discovered that I could no longer open any pdf from outlook.
You can go to top highlight attachment and then save attachment.
But what changed and how to I change it back to be able to open pdf from outlook when reviewing email.

Why can't I open new PDF files into iBooks

I cannot open new PDF files in iBooks, they flash really quick in PDF folder then disappear. I'm really frustrated

I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1. After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window. Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window. What next steps should I take? Thanks.

Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

Can no longer open existing pdf files

My adobe free reader program has recently become very slow and fairly non-responsive lately. I use PDFCreator Plus for printing. When I attempted to print a PDF to the PDFCreator Plus today (as I've done for years) when the reader was opening files so slowly, it changed all of my Adobe PDF's to PDFCreator Plus files. It allowed me to switch them back, but now I cannot open any existing or newly created files. I have thousand's of pdf's. I have since loaded Foxit because I run two businesses and can't work without access to my pdf's. I would like to use Adobe again but need to know what to do to regain the ability to utilize the program and open my pdf's once again. I use Adobe's Free Reader with latest version 11.0.07 downloaded May 22, 2014.

PDF Creator Plus combines a virtual printer with a preview application that displays your printed document before the PDF is created. I use it with the proposal software at my office. It's a program that is less costly than Adobe.
Cannot means I can't? When I click on a pdf, nothing happens. Nothing opens. I need to be able to access my pdf's in order to work expeditiously. My proposal and accounting files are mostly in pdf's. I downloaded Foxit but using Foxit is an onerous task.
I am not sure what happened, but when I was trying to open some files from my accountant today to view in Adobe Reader, the pdf's became non-responsive. When I clicked on an existing file, somehow it changed every Adobe pdf to a PDF Creator Plus pdf document. I could right-click and choose to switch back to Adobe pdf's , but when I did, something really went awry, and now nothing happens at all when I click any pdf's (and they appear as regular Adobe files).
Again, I can open them in Foxit, but if I save them again, they are still useless unless I remain in the Foxit program.

Can no longer open email attachments

All of a sudden I was unable to open email attachments with my att yahoo account. I was able to open them using Explorer. I tried all the suggestions posted including clearing history, safe mode, and resetting Firefox, to no avail. This problem occurs with all email extensions.

I want to Open a PDF attachment in iBook, but it doesn't work anymore.

I want to Open an Email attachés PDF in my iBook. Just do ist like always, but it doesn't work anymore.
Can you help me.
Thanks

Try quitting the iBooks App completely, restart the iPad and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close iBooks by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down the iBooks icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I can no longer open any pdf files.

As of yesterday, pdf's don't open! I've tried the latest Adobe Reader, Preview, and Safari. Never had this problem before. I've reinstalled Reader and restarted my computer (running OSX 10.8.3), no help. This problem is true for my new and old pdf's. The message I get in all cases is "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Any ideas? Is there a pdf destroyer virus out there running on Macs?

Set Preview as your preferred app to open PDF files. Click once on any PDF and Get Info (command i).
Towards the bottom of the info widow, Open With:
Choose Preview, then click on Change All...
To download a PDF from a website, right click (control click) on the link and Save Linked File As... and Preview (instead of Adobe) will download it. Save to any convenient location. Then you can open it in Preview with a double click.
You can still use Adobe Reader by right click and Open With...
Bonus: Preview has a smoother scroll than Adobe.
Keep Adobe because its Flash Player will show web videos.
Regards,
Ian.

I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.
