Can't see a pdf attachment

I've recently got an iphone and a work colleague is sending me pdf attachments of drawings for animation. now i can open the pdf but it just shows as blank pages. Anyone any ideas why this should be? Is there an app i can get to see them?
Thanks
Chris

You should be able to view them directly, as .pdf is a supported file format. See if he/she is sending the email, with the attachments, as an RTF formated email, if so, ask him/her to send the email as plain text. See if you can view the attachments now.

How can I see an pdf-attachement in preview

I got a coded pdf document with an included attachement.
I can see this attachements in the Acrobat reader bit not in preview.
Is there a possibility to see this attachements in preview as well.
Thanks.

It is not a normal pdf. It is a pdf which has an included attachement.
This attachement is not shown in preview, but I can open the attachement in the acrobat reader.

Can't See Downloaded PDFs in Safari 3.0.4

Installed 10.4.11 over 10.4.10 using software update. Safari 3.0.4 set to show downloaded PDFs in a Safari Window. Adobe Reader 7.0.9 set to show PDFs in Browser Window. Safari correctly opens a new window as the PDF download begins. All seems to work fine until the moment Safari is about to display the downloaded PDF in the Safari window. At that instant, the Safari window turns completely dark gray and you can't see the PDF at all. The whole content area of the window turns dark gray. I grabbed Safari 2.0.4 from my backup and tried it. Same result. I reinstalled Adobe Reader from scratch. Same result.
This is critical here. We have to view PDFs all day.
It all worked fine under 10.4.10.
Any ideas?

Thanks. We can now see PDFs after installing Adobe Reader v8 as you recommend. But we sure miss the user interface of Reader v7 ! The user interface of Reader v8 will take some getting used to.
Would be nice if Apple documented the dependency/requirement somewhere, no????

How can I see my Pdf's from my PC on my Smartphone?

How can I see my Pdf,s from my Pc on my Smartphone?

If they're only on your PC, you can't.
Post a copy into the cloud to share it across different devices. Adobe Reader on both desktop and mobile has an integrated cloud storage system precisely for this reason. It's very prominently advertised in both apps, you can't miss it.

Can't see MFP printer attached to AE (in Bridge mode)

Can't see MFP printer attached via ethernet cable to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network) on local wifi network.
Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by typing IP Address. I have since moved the printer to the back of the house and leaving all previous settings, the printer is not visiable on the wifi network.
Normal process to setup is:
System Prefs > Print & Fax > Add > IP > 192.168.0.50 (currently just hangs not seeing the printer).
Normally the printer name appears and the correct driver is shown at the bottom as Use: Ricoh 2020D Driver

Have you verified that the Ethernet port is functioning correctly by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless, and connecting using an Ethernet cable to see if the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way?
The all-in-one device should also be reset back to factory default settings, then reconfigured again with a new static IP address. In other words, start all over again on the printer including a complete power cycle of the main and extending AirPort devices..

ITunes 11.1.5 Why I can't see added PDF files!

Hey guys,
I added some PDF files to my Library and I still can't see them on the left side menu where I can se my Videos, music and Apps...
what could be the reason?
I am using iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac OSX 10.9.2

You no longer use iTunes to handle pdfs.
iBooks > File > Add to library.
If the pdf is an email attachment: control click > Open with > iBooks.
Some pdfs on websites have the option to 'Open in iBooks'.

Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

Hi All
I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Ed

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Can't see USB disk attached to other mac

I have an Airport Express, on the network is a Mac Mini which has an USB disk attached to it (to the Mac Mini).
However, I can't see the disk from any other mac that uses the Airport (this used to work)
I've looked for "disk sharing" in Preferences and in the Airport Setup Utility, but couldn't find anything.
I've also made the Sharing & Permissions of the USB disk for "Me" and "Everyone" as " Read & Write"
Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Awfers

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
For File Sharing: System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
o Make sure that the folders on your external hard drive, that you want shared, are selected in the Shared Folders window.
o Make sure that you have, at least, Everyone = Read Only set in the Users window.
o Select Options..., and then, verify that you have "Share files and folders using AFP" is enabled for Mac clients, and "Share files and folders using SMB" is enabled for Windows clients.
For the OS X Firewall: System Preferences > Security > Firewall
o If "Allow all incoming connections" is enabled, verify that: "File Sharing (AFP, SMB)" is now displayed in the list.

Can't get a PDF attachment to open without a pop-up box opening.

Every time I get a PDF attachment in AOL Email I click on it to open and it brings up a dialog box wanting to know what program to use to open. I select Adobe Acrobat Reader and then check the box to do this all the time and click on OK. The PDF opens and I can view it. The very next time the same box appears as to what I want to do. How can I eliminate that annoying box?

Hello........is anyone there? I have this same problem. Every time i go to open a pdf it asks how. It doesn't matter what i set the tools-options-applications-pdf action to. How do I stop this stupid question?????
fyi, your site says you don't have to register to ask a question,but then takes you back here where you try to reply and it tells you to register, and round and round we go. No longer a fan of firefox.

I can't see adobe pdf printer

Hi,
I've recently installed the CC on my iMac at work, including Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I go to (i.e.) Illustrator > file > print I can't see in the drop down menu the 'Adobe pdf' option to virtually print my files. Every software is updated to its latest version, including my operating system (OS X 10.9.5). I tried to look up in several websites and forums to see if I have to do something specific to get access to the adobe virtual printer (I never had to do anything like that because it's always been automatic after installing Adobe Acrobat Pro) but I couldn't find any help. Does anybody have some advice? Thank you in advance.

That's too bad. I have an old illustrator file with 18 layers, one for each page of a calendar. That option was good to create an original layered file directly in illustrator and then saving individual pages with the 'save visible and printable layers' option selected. Now if I choose 'save as pdf' there is no way to turn off unwanted layers and the resulting pdf is a fuzzy mix of all 18 layers

Can't see entire PDF

How can I open a PDF attachment?

I work for FEMA and receive a daily briefing. The email comes with a PDF attachment. As of Monday, when I clicked on the link the PDF would not open. I updated my Adobe Reader, thinking that would resolve the issue but it still will not open.

If you save the attachment to your desktop, can you open it using File>Open in Reader?
If not, what exactly happens? What version of Reader are you using?

How can I see my PDF documents in iBooks

I can see my PDF documents in iTunes but not in my iPhone. What do I do wrong? Do I have to enable PDFs somewhere?

Evidently there is no way to view PDF files stored on iCloud by Preview on IOS yet. Surely Apple is working on this issue. Probably it will come out with IOS 6 (which does me no good since I have an iPad 1).

I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!
