Can't open pdf attachment on Palm TX with Adobe For Palm download

I downloaded Adobe for Palm OS (v. 3.0) to open email pdf attachments, but am getting error message: Attachment (not supported in this version) winmail.dat
So can not open any pdf attachments.
Tried getting mail via VersaMail and via m.comcast.net - same problem.
Using Vista, Palm TX
Thanks

Adobe for Palm is an ancient program that cannot read raw .pdf files. It only works with a desktop component that converts pdf files that the old adobe program can read on a Palm.
Look at the free "PalmPDF" at freewarepalm.com. It can read pdf files by itself.
(I'd also suggest you delete Adobe from your Palm as it's caused a lot of problems for many users)

Can't open PDF attachment in e-mail sent from Outlook, says I need to save first, how?

Cannot open PDF attachment in webmail sent from Outlook, says I need to save first; how do I save the link?

Looks like another user asked similar question with over 600 views and no replies ... hmmm. When I click on the attachment, it says I must save it to my disk; with one button mouse just click once and save? I've tried dragging and saving the attachment to word doc but opened up with a page of garbled words/symbols,etc. Any ideas are welcome.

How to fix problem with opening pdfs in Windows 8.1 with Adobe Reader XI?

Every time I try to open a pdf on my new laptop with Adobe Reader XI, I get a message than either the file is not supported or its damaged. But it still opens fine on my old laptop with Windows 7.
Any suggestions?@

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Upon further investigation, it appears that the original pdfs I was transferring from my old computer to my new one were “grayed out” on the flash drive, so they wouldn’t open on the new laptop. When I went back and reloaded the pdfs again, they weren’t grayed out, and now everything’s working fine. But again, thanks so much for making the effort to help. I really appreciate it.

Can't open pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT&T/Yahoo Mail results in "a file was downloaded". Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and prior. Switching to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems it could be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies) but this did not fix the problem. I disabled the pdf viewed and that didn't help either.

i'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their server that makes certain old url formats dysfunctional - at least quite a number of other users have reported that... so if you have a bookmark for yahoo mail, change its address to the generic https://mail.yahoo.com/, which should redirect you to the current & working url

Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

Hi!
Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

Did you try this? It worked for me.
http://www.darrenstraight.com/blog/2010/12/16/adobe-reader-x-there-was-an-error-opening-th is-document-access-denied/
Open up Adobe Reader X
On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
Go to the general tab under Categories.
Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

TS1506 I can't open pdf attachements in my email from outlook on my iphone

How do I open pdf attachments in my email on my iphone

here is what is supposed to happen...
an e mail attachment is usually shown as a icon at the end of the e mail. If you touch it, and if it is a file type that the pad can handle in preview, it opens and you can read it. and example would be a word document.
If you want to do something besides read the attachment, you need an app. If you touch and hold the attachment you will ge a prompt called "open in", and any apps you have that can deal with that file type will ber lsited, you pick the one you want to use.
Sometimes there is no app on your machine to open a particular file type. You can go to the app store, and search for that file extension, and frequently find an app that will deal with it. Windows .wmv files are an example.
Lastly, there are some file types that the pad simply will not open, and there are no apps to be had either. Flash attaments, i believe the extension is swx, cannot work on the pad.
so - when you get an e mail with an attachment - what happens when you touch it?

Can't open pdf attachment without saving first

Whenever someone emails me with a pdf attachment I cannot just open the attachment. It makes me save the document first, locate the file I just saved in my hard drive, and then I can open it. I started having this problem earlier this week. Before, I could just click on the attachment and it would open. I have the latest first of Adobe. What can I do so I can simply click on an attachment and it opens?

What is your operating system & version?
What is your email client & version?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
What exactly means "cannot"?

Can't open .pdf attachment to e-mail

After straightening out the conflict between Reader & Acrobat (deleted Reader per suggestion on this forum), I now have a new problem. When I double click a .pdf attachment to an e-mail (I use Thunderbird), I get the following message:
"C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ADOBE.pdf could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
I went to Preferences of Acrobat 9 std but couldn't find anything that seemed to relate to a helper application.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Turns out I found a note from Mozilla when this was a problem with
reader that said to simply delete that preference for acrobat. Then,
when I click to open the .pdf file, Thunderbird asks me if I want to use
Acrobat 9.1 and has a box to click to enable this to occur every time.
It worked.
If anyone else encounters this, here's the website containing the
solution for both Firefox & Thunderbird.

I suddenly can not open pdf files. I have had Adobe Reader Xl and just ran into this problem

I have had adobe reader xl for some time and suddenly can not open a pdf file. I received an email yesterday with a pdf attachment which I can not open. What could be my problem?

Hi Pat, My operating system is Windows 7, Home Premium Service Pack 1. My email client (email Provider is Cox Communications - Cox.net).
Can not in my post means I tried to open a pdf attachment to a email. I received nothing happens. I do not get a blank screen or any messages. Nothing Nothing happens at all. I can click several times and get no response.
I did discover that by clicking on the Adobe Icon on my deskt topi get an Adobe box containing "Do you want to allow changes to your computer. I click Yes and get to my computer where I can find the above mentoned attachment which I think I had previously saved. I then get the attachment whick I can print. This may be printing from my hard drive - I am not sure. I think I could go through this procedure every time I want to open a atachment but it seems a long way around.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about removing Adobe and reinstalling. Maybe there is a corruption to my Adobe file.
Jim

Can't open pdf files in Windows 8 with Acrobat XI

I have windows 8, and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. When attempting to open PDFs I get this message "Adobe Reader could not open 'Wiring Invoice 409343281 Dated 04_05_2013-2.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried documents from numerous different sources, all with the same result. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, restarted, etc. I did not have this issue with XP and Acrobat reader X. HELP!! I cannot print invoices until this is corrected....thanks!

Hi,
Are you try to open PDF file attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird.?
Could you try to save the PDF file locally and then try to open the PDF file?
Or try downloading sample PDF from here http://www.samplepdf.com/sample.pdf and open it in Adobe Reader.
Thanks

Editing pdf attached to outlook emails with Adobe Acrobat - Std or Pro?

Hi
I have a customer, who wants to edit the PDFs, which are attached to emails, before forwarding them. (He just wants to add a sticky note).
I recently found out, that this is only possible with Adobe Acrobat and not with Adobe Reader. Now, the question is, which version do they have to use? Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional?
Does someone just know the answer or can anyone with Adobe Acrobat Std test this situation?
Kind Regards,
eddie

It's been a long time since I've used Acrobat 7 Pro but I have used Acrobat 8 Professional.
The key thing is to choose the correct tool. You're looking for the Touchup Text tool, which is probably on the Advanced Editing toolbar. You can probably open up that toolbar by choosing View > Toolbars > Advanced Editing. With that tool selected, drag through the sentence to be deleted. Right-click (Control-click) on the selected text and press Delete.

Opening PDF attachments in Outlook 2003 with Adobe 8.1

Everytime I attempt to open a Pdf file that is attached to an e-mail, It opens in Excel, even though it is not an excel spreadsheet.

The can only open it on their machine if they save the pdf attachment after renaming it. All computers on the network have the latest Outlook 2003 updates, so it puzzles me that only three end users with the same version of Outlook 2003, with the same updates, are not able to view the attachment from Outlook, but the other users can. Also, why do those three end users have to rename the file if the save it to the their computer to be able to view it, but no one else has to. And, it is not every pdf attachment either, just some from certain people that send them an e-mail. Really puzzling issue that I need to get resolved...
