Can't open PDF's attached to emails in Ibooks

I'm trying to open PDF's that are attached to emails in I-Books. sometimes when the attachment downloads in my email and I double click on the PDF attachment, it lets me open it using Ibooks while other times it just automatically opens in the email.
what should I be doing differently?

Both can be opened in iBooks. This is where you should store them if you intend on keeping them (or another PDF reader of your choice).
Depending on how they are created, the email app used to author the email and a number of other factors, some will appear in your email and others will just be attachments. Both can be saved the same way...
There is no double-click on iPad - you tap and hold until you get the Share menu. Tap the app of your choice to open the PDF.

Using win7... received email attachment from inside my company with .pdf.exe suffix. Unfortunately, I opened it. Now all .exe files go to acrobat where error message is displayed that ".exe file cannot be opened". Even 'task manager' and 'regedit' can't open.
Was able to uninstall acrobat (version X) and now laptop back to normal. Tried installing version XI, but same thing happened again.
Pls help

I can't open pdf attachments sent by email.

I have been sent pdf attachments lately to my email account but cannot open them in either my MacBook Pro or my wife's...but they open if I try in my Dell computer. I have downloaded Acrobat Reader and java runtime...but to no avail.

Hi Angelete,

Please follow the below steps :-
Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab, and select Show Processes From All Users.
Select any Adobe Reader process, and click End Process.
Repeat for all additional Adobe Reader processes.
Restart Windows & try to view the PDF's.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

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?

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

Hi All,
Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
PDF is already in the folder options
Any ideas?
Toni

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

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.

Can Not Open PDF Attachments

I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8 and using Adobe version 11.0.2 If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
Thanks in advance for yor help.
the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.

Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).
