Can't open documents (doc, pdf, ppt..) attached to e-mail

After updated to iOS5, I can't open any documents (doc, ppt, and pdf) which are attached to e-mail.

Do you have a word processing app on your ipad? Like Documents to go, Pages, Keynote or some such? Without one of those I do not believe the iPad can open document files. If it's something you could do before iOS5 and can't do now it's possible that your word processing program isn't iOS5 compatible and the app creators need to update their product.

  • 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

    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 can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents.

    I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents. All other CS6 applications are available. The icon for Acrobat just shows the internet explorer icon.

    There is a special procedure for Acrobat as part of CS. It goes something like opening one of the other applications and activating, then opening Acrobat (I think the others need to stay open) and activating it. It seems like a strange procedure and is likely documented in your info -- but I can't say for sure.

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

    Morning Friends,
    I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
    I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013 
    I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
    When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
    "We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
    Details - No error detail available.
    Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    Very high level view of what I have done:
    1 - Created content type called "Letters"
    2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
    3 -  Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
    4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
    5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
    6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
    7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
    8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
    9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
    10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
    11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter" 
    12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
    13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
    14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
    15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
    16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
    17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
    18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe" 
    19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
    thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
    "This behavior is by design. The Create
    List Item action in the SharePoint
    2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
    I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

  • Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

  • Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

    Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images.  These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers.  However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page.  There was a problem reading this document (14)."   So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file.  However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it.  The file is written unencrypted.  It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

  • Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

    Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
    CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
    I insert to this table:
    INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
    INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
    and then:
    CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
    parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
    filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
    Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
    I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

    The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
    "FILE_DATASTORE
    The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
    Note:
    FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
    FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
    Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
    Attribute Attribute Value
    path path1:path2:pathn
    path
    Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
    You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
    If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
    PATH Attribute Limitations
    The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
    If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
    On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
    With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
    Table created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');
    1 row created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(2,'c:\oracle11g\cranberry.pdf');
    1 row created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
      2  parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
      3  filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
    Index created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
      2  /
      COUNT(*)
           608
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> In the following, I used a non-existent path and non-existent file name, which produces the same results as when you use a remote path that does not exist locally.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
    Table created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(3,'c:\nosuchpath\nosuchfile.pdf');
    1 row created.
    SCOTT@orcl_11g>
    SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
      2  parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore

  • Pages: Can't open document on iPad

    Dear,
    Yesterday i started a big document on my iPad using pages.
    After finishing it i could send PDF to an email address.
    Today i try to edit something but i cant use the document anymore. i dont see an icon of my text but an icon of pages and when i try to use it i get an error messages like: "Can't open document". iPad, iPhone and iCloud cant reach the document anymore.
    Any idea how to get my document back?????
    TIA !

    It seems to be hit or miss if this works or not, but try opening Pages on the iPad, then before you select a document, on the very first screen, hit the "Edit" button, then select your document. Then click the arrow coming out of the box in the upper left corner &amp; email the document to yourself. Try opening the email on a computer, selecting the file and adding the pages file type (.pages) to the end of the name. Then try reopening it in Pages.
    I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but it seems like sometimes iWork documents lose that file type indicator &amp; then Pages (numbers/ Keynote) won't open them.

  • Can't open documents

    Hi there. I can't open documents or files from the internet that I download, because I don't have Word. But I'm using OpenOffice, and I thought OpenOffice also could open files and so on, but I just learned that I couldn't. I don't know how to do it, if there's a solution of it. I searched all over the internet, but couldn't find something....
    What should I do?

    drag the files onto OpenOffice (I prefer another office clone called LibreOffice).  Or launch OpenOffice then use the menu item "File > Open" to bring up the open dialog that will allow you to navigate to, and select the Word file you want to open.
    Finally you can associate OpenOffice (or what ever app you like) with .doc and .docx files by right clicking the file then selecting "Open With > Other…":
    The navigate to, and select, the application you want to use to open the file.  Be sure to select the "Always open with" checkbox if you do not want to have to go through this everytime.
