  • 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.

  • Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

    Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
    I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
    Any help with this?

    I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7.  Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
    In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
    We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message.  I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
    In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
    The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
    I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
    For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability.   Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

  • 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.

    Open up Adobe Reader X
    On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences

    If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
    Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

  • Can't Open PDF in Windows Live Mail

    I am having trouble opening a PDF file in Windows Live Mail that is sent to me. I can only open it if I save the file to desktop. I was able to open it just fine awhile ago. I don't know what I may have done. Can someone please help me.
    Thanks
    Mark

    I guess I should have explained it better. If someone sends me a PDF as an attachment, I can click on the PDF in Windows Live Mail but the PDF will not open. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader and then re-installing but had no luck as well. If I right click the PDF and then click "save as" then I can open it after I save it to my desktop or whereever. Hope you or someone can help me.
    Thanks

  • Can not open pdf file in Outlook 2010 - error opening document

    when I click on the PDF file in the email (Outlook 2010), Adobe opens but it pops a window "There was an error opening this document. Access denied". If I save the document as a file, aka to the desktop, I can open it then.
    Also also I click on the ok button in adobe, it posted a Runtime error! application has requested the RunTime to terminate it in an unusal way.
    has anyone seen this issue. Desktop is using Windows XP, 4 gig ram, Adobe X verision 10.0.1

  • 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 2007 ask to convert file?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Unable to open PDFs in received e-mail (Outlook)?

    Unable to open PDFs received in Outlook (Office for Mac 2011).  Adobe XI message displayed says "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  Same PDFs attached to same mail messages open fine on iPad or iPhone. What could be the problem?

    ivone dos santos,
    Do you see a message like this when you open one of your PDF documents?
    Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form".  The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
    As far as I know, no PDF viewers for iOS and Android mobile devices support dynamic XFA forms.  Here are the examples of the iOS apps that do not support dynamic XFA forms.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Mail
    Safari
    iBooks
    The PDF preview feature in Dropbox and other apps
    The message is trying to tell you to use the latest desktop version of Adobe Reader, not the mobile version of Adobe Reader.  I agree that the sentence, "You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader...", is somewhat misleading.  The message is baked into the dynamic XFA form that was authored by Adobe LiveCycle (desktop app) without regard for non-desktop apps (i.e. mobile apps).  Upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for iOS would not help in this case.
    Currently, the only option to view and fill out dynamic XFA forms is to use the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
    Sorry for the confusion.

  • Can't open PDF's on my Mac coming in on MS Outlook 2010. Reinstalled Adobe software 4 x and still get "Adobe PDF Preview Handler" error message.

    Can't open PDF's on my Mac coming in on MS Outlook 2010. Reinstalled Adobe software 4 x and still get "Adobe PDF Preview Handler" error message.

    No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

  • I Can't Open PDF's from Finder or Mail on I-Mac

    The only way I can open pdf's is from the File Open Menu inside of Adobe.  Every time I try to open a document from any way other than from inside Adobe I get this message: "The document “RFI #12 Answer.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."  Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
    Bob Berger

    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
