Cannot Open Attachments within a pdf document

Dear Staff,
In my windows 7 netbook I can open files attached to  PDF documents is there a reason why I cannot open these files within windows 8.1 RT with the adobe Reader Touch? is there any setting to adjust to have this function active or Adobe Reader touch do not have this function at all?
Is the adobe reader touch staff working on this?
I am a music teacher and those attachments are very important for me.
Thank you in advance for your help

Adobe Reader Touch does not support file attachments.
Adobe Reader Touch is a relatively new product.  Our product management team determines which features/enhancements/updates to add based on customer feedback and the usage data collected from other mobile Adobe Reader products (e.g. Reader for iOS/Android).
While Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports file attachments, the usage data indicates that file attachments are rarely used.  So it is not clear if or when the feature will be supported in Adobe Reader Touch.
Since your operating system is Windows RT 8.1, you will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).  Because Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT.
Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer) does not seem to support file attachments, either.
One thing that you could try is to open the PDF document with attachments in Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7, save the attachments as separate files, and transfer the files from your Windows 7 notebook to your Windows RT 8.1 notebook/tablet using a cloud storage service (e.g. SkyDrive, Dropbox, Acrobat.com, etc.) 
It's not ideal.  But it's one way to work around the lack of the feature. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

    Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
    Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
    Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

  • Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

    I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me.  I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
    often).  How do I go about performing this?  Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

    I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
    Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
    'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
    'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
    'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
    Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
    Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
    Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
    Dim PDFPath As String
    Dim DisplayPage As Integer
    PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
    'Set the page you want to be displayed
    'DisplayPage = 3
    'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
    Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    'Set AVDoc object
    Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    'Open the PDF
    If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
    PDFDoc.BringToFront
    'Maximize the document
    Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
    Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
    'Go to the desired page
    'The first page is 0
    Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
    'Set the page view of the pdf
    Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
    End If
    Set PDFApp = Nothing
    Set PDFDoc = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    'Show the adobe application
    PDFApp.Show
    'Set the focus to adobe acrobat pro
    AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Pro"

  • I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document "7-09 receipts" could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the "Pages document"

    I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document “7-09 receipts” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Pages document”
    What's this??? How do I open the pages doc???   Kalavati

    You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
    You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
    If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
    You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

  • HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book  Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

    “Scouting Book  Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

    This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
    When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
    The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
    I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Is it possible to give each page within one pdf document a specific set of print settings?

    I have a complex document (catalogue) that requires printing. There are several different printer settings required and each one is specific to each page within the document. For instance pg 1 is single sided in colour, page 2-3 is duplexed in b&w, page 3-8 is duplexed in colour, etc.... Is it possible to give each page within the pdf document a given set of print settings and then print the entire document as a whole?

    Hi jennyskop
    I assume that is not feasible ...You need to give the print command again and select the respective pages and their settings !

  • How do i extract pages from within a pdf document?

    To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Cannot open attachments with my firefox. my wife can with IE

    with firefox I cannot open attachments in my emails. I have been forwarding these emails to my wife's email. She is using internet explorer by yahoo through AT&t and then I have no trouble opening them on her email.

    hello jrhjmh, are you a yahoo mail user and does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    <sup>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042</sup>
    I'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their side that makes certain old urls/servers dysfunctional (you may be currently using those because you've bookmarked them before or through your history) - at least quite a number of other users have reported that...
    <br>so using the generic address https://mail.yahoo.com/ as a bookmark should lead you to the current & working url.

  • Why can't I "save as a word or excel online" within the PDF document

    Please advise!!

  • Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

    Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

    Hi there.  I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac.  On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types.  If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
    OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview.  I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
    If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens?  That will help people to help you.
