Can't download PDF attachments from Hotmail

Hi,
For the past 3 - 4 weeks, I have been unable to download PDFs attached to Hotmail messages.  The Windows forum has been unable to help.
I'm running Windows 7, IE 9 and using Acrobat X standard.
So far I have cleared my cache and reinstalled silverlight as the Windows guys suggested.  I also restored my computer to a point in the past when I could download attachments.
I can download PDFs from web sites, and open existing documents.  I cannot download PDF attachments from other email accounts (such as my academic account).
Any thoughts?

If there is an option to download in binary mode, be sure that is selected. I do not have HotMail and have no clue what options might be available.

    I can't download PDF's from iCloud.  Everything else downloads fine.  Any suggestions?

    Ok, and is this on your Mac in the native Mail application, or on your Mac using iCloud webmail at http://www.icloud.com/ in a web browser? If the latter, which web browser?
    When you say you "can't download" - do you actually mean download and save to your hard drive as a file, or do you mean you can't view PDFs inside the mail application?
    What happens exactly when you try to download/view these PDFs? Any error message?

  • I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

    For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website.  It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything.  I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so.  This problem started after they did the Adobe update.  I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then.  I need to be able to do this for work....  Any suggestions?  or when will this issue be fixed?  Thank you!!!

    I have the same problem.  Or similar.  A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work).  Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use.  I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files.  Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway,  as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can. 
    Any other suggestions?  i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
    Thanks

  • I can't access pdf attachments from my aol email on my ipad. i have downloaded adobe reader. what should i do?

    i can't accesspdf attachments from aol email on my ipad. i have donloaded adobe reader. what should i do?

    For Notes, if they are only on your phone I suggest you open them one by one and email them to your self so you have a backup of the text.  You can then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to Off, then back On.  Then try creating a new note and see if it syncs properly to icloud.com and to your Mac.  If so, and if turning it notes off deleted the notes from your phone, you'll have to open each email and copy and paste the text into a new Note.
    My own experience with photo stream syncing photos to iPhoto is that it works great.  iPhoto automatically receives new photos from photo stream, and if configured to in iPhoto settings, it also saves a copy of the images to your iPhoto library so they are backed up.

  • Can't download pdf bills from utility companies - mac

    I am on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.  Whether I use Firefox (latest version 18.0) or Safari (version 5.1.7), I am unable to download my bills in pdf formats from Centerpoint.com and Centurylink.com   -  I have contacted customer service at both sites and they have said they don't know why it's happening, and I should contact Adobe.  So I am here.
    When I get to the sections on these pages where I can view my bill, and subsequently "view as pdf" or "download pdf" - here's what happens.  In firefox, I get a popup that says: Adobe Reader is required to view this file. When I click the same fields in Safari, a blank (white) window opens up and just sits there.
    I have installed on my computer Adobe Reader 11.0.01
    I would really apprecaite any help with this at all.  The amount of time that has been invested (to no avail) in trying to simply download my utility bills in pdf format has been ridiculous.
    Thanks!

    Yes - I did and it works perfectly.  Again, the webpages I am attemtping to download my bill's in .pdf form from are Centerpointenergy.com and Centurylink.com.
    On centerpoinenergy.com, the main page has a "view/print bill" tab.  When I click on that, a new window opens where I can view my bill.  In the upper left is a tab that says, "view pdf."  When I click on that, a new window opens up and here's the problem - a notice appears saying, "Adobe Reader is required to view this file http://get.adobe.com"
    I have adobe reader installed, but thier page is not recognizing it - or something.  I've asked them about this and they told me to contact adobe.
    On Centurylink.com, I click "view my full bill." Then on the next page I click, "print or save this bill."  The file that appears is a .action file as I described above. 
    Everyone's help and attention here is greatly appreciated.

  • Mail - can't download pdf attachments made on pc???

    When trying to open pdfs that were created on a pc I get the following error when trying to drag it to the desktop..."You can’t drag attachments until they’ve been downloaded. Do you want to download this attachment?" If I save it then it saves but will give an error message that it is an empty file,,after saving it it saves as a zero kb file even though in webmail it's showing up with the real size of the t=file...not sure what's going on...this opens fine on a mac when I open it through Thunderbird and a web based version of mail...it seems to be a mac mail issue...any ideas? I'm stuck with what the problem could be.

    Here's what I provided the other poster:
    I would remove the account completely in the preferences, and set it up again. But before doing that, create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up the account that can receive these messages with PDF and test. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    This will be a useful test, and obviously is not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of all the factors outside your normal User Account. It would bypass any problems in the current User Account. If your account is POP, make sure it is set to leave messages on the server in the New User Account.
    Anyway you can get one of these messages with PDF sent directly from the original sender? If so, you can find an address for me by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.

  • Can't open pdf attachments from Mail

    When I'm in Mail and try to open or save to my computer and then open a pdf in Preview, I get an error message  -
    "The file “Proposal to Seattle City Light - Wolverine Study 6Mar2012.pdf” could not be opened.  It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
    This happens with all pdfs in Mail.  However, if I go to email account on the Internet and download the pdf it opens no problem. This is a new problem, though I can't say if it started happening as soon as I upgraded to Lion or if it happened sometime after (definitely not before).
    Thanks!

    I think maybe I wasn't completely clear in my reply to your original message.
    I logged into my gmail account online and sent myself a pdf. I then retrieved that message with Mail and the pdf opened with no issues. It doesn't seem like that would be an issue with my mail service provider, because my pdf came through no problem, but those sent from others (all of whom I think are using Windows machines and hence Acrobat) will not open.
    I'm going to see if I can get someone using a Mac and someone I know for sure is using a PC to send my pdfs and see what happens.

  • Can't download PDF files from Firefox or Safari

    When I click on a PDF from a webpage it has always downloaded and opened with Preview. Recently (potentially correlated to when I had to download Adobe Acrobat) the PDFs won't open at all.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
