You probably need to restore as new or from a backup. See p. 141 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

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.

Reading 'pdf' attachments to Outlook Express Email

I can't read 'pdf' attachments to my Outlook Express mail. I get an Error Message "This message does not have a program associated with it"
However, I can save the message to my computer 'My Documents' and it then opens fine with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is associated with 'pdf' files in Control Panel - Folder Options.
Computer: Compact Presario
System: Windows XP
Outlook Espress 6
Adobe Reader 8
Thanks,
Darleen

all versions of MS operating system handle this sort of differently but here is the general approach
(windows 7):
control panel -> associate file type or protocol with a specific program -> scroll down to PDF
if you have successfully installed ADOBE, you should see that as a choice, click on it and your system will update so now in OUTLOOK all PDF files will be opened by ADOBE, simple but not very straight forward.

While most can open my .pdf attachments, I have one client who cannot. However, they can if sent from another person in my office. I am using Adobe Reader X1. Can anyone help?

While most can open my .pdf attachments to emails, I have one client who cannot. However, they can open and read if sent from another person in my office who using the same Program as I do. I am using Adobe Reader X1. Can anyone help?

What is the operating system on that problem machine? Reader XI version? Email client?
What exactly means "cannot"?

Recipients can't read email attachments

Scenario: Office full of Macs. All supposedly configured exactly the same (same OS, same version of Word, etc.) When one staff member creates then sends documents (so far Word and pdf docs), others can't read the attachments. The attachments, when opened in Word, look like gibberish.
The employee in question is using Mac Mail as the mail client. The others are using Thunderbird.
But here's the thing. When we take a file from the affected computer, put it on someone else's computer, then email it, the file comes over ok.
Also, we were able to test sending the same file from another Mac using Mac Mail and the file was okay.
I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not.
Any ideas on where I should look to fix this problem?
Thanks.

So, the problem is in the Mac Mail set-up.
Have the user try changing some of the parameters.
Though Ernie has show himself to be smarter than I, I think that it has nothing to do with Exchange or anything besides how the Mac user using Mail.app has it configured, and -- so -- how the email is constructed and sent from that machine.
You said, "I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not."
Okay. So set the option, restart Mail, and try it.
I have it set. I send Office docs, PDFs, everything, to people using every email client you can think of. I cannot think of one time I had a problem like this.

IMS 5.2 Can't receive .pdf attachments

I get the following errors when sending emails to anyone on my iMS 5.2 email system.

I can send .pdf attachments from my iMS system to other systems and other users on the iMS system. I just can't receive .pdf attachments from other systems.
Any Ideas?

Ok, first, YOU NEED to install 5.2p2. You can get it here:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=11&PartDetailId=MsgSvr-5.2p2-OTH-G-TP&TransactionId=Try
Second, it would really, truly help me to help you, if you'd answer the rest of my questions.
Does this happen with EVERY pdf attachment, or is it size related?
I would first patch your iMS, then put debug logging on the channel you're receiving the mail through.
set in your imta.cnf, in the channel definition for the channel your mail comes in trough. Add the keywords, "master_debug slave_debug"
then add this to the end of the option.dat file:
mm_debug=5
run:
imsimta cnbuild
imsimta restart
now, you'll get a debug log for every message. Send a test message with a pdf. Save the log file, and post it here.
remove the debug settings, so you don't fill your disk. re-run the two commands above.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

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.

You can't. If you could it would be a HUGE security bug, and would be quickly fixed.

E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...

Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?

I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service. This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment. In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document. You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
You can, of course, still attach it to another email.

Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC

Ever since Adobe 7 and Mac OS 10.4.9 I've been updating/installing and still crashes on PDF reads from within Browsers or Adobe itself.
I have an iMac 800 17" (Mac OS 10.4.11 with OS 9.2 PPC) recently maxed RAM 1Gb has backup eDrive by TechTool Pro.
-still...
Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore, I usually Google and just "read in HTML" but then can't see pictures.
I've tried removing Adobe 7 preferences from all drives. (move to trash->delete) Acrobat 5 is on the OS 9.2 partition.
I'm not big with the Unix shell commands on Mac OS X, so don't know specific typey things ;-)
Any ideas???

>All that is is a reader. Not a replacement for Acrobat.
And it doesn't even work well with forms. Only allows the first page of a form to be filled out.
I reported the problem as a bug, and the designer say its an apple problem. Its not. where area set up to be filled out on pages other than first page, there is an indication it is a fill-out area (Grayed out when clicked on) it does not allow for forms to be filled out. So its not worth the effort to even test.

? Can't print PDF attachments to gmail since installing 11.06

I am on Windows 7 and Firefox, Since installing 11.06 I can't print PDF attachments to gmail messages. I get a (false) message that file cannot be printed, because no pages have been selected. I tried uninstalling 11.06 and downloading and insatalling it again, Same result. Any way to download a backlevel version for the time being? Would appreciate any other sugestions..

Disabling Protected Mode as suggested solved the problem. It seems to me the impact of Protected Mode should have been highlighted with a warning at the download site. Alternatively, and in my opinion preferably, Protected Mode enabled should not have been made the default. -shel488

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.
