Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

Sometimes the GC's are mailed out. You don't always get them right in the store IIRC.

Apple has sent out several updates lately for the OS. Now I cannot open ANY attachment to ANY e-mail. Is there a fix?

Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription - based service. You have to pay for it... and keep paying for it... and paying for it... as in 365 days a year... or lose your hard work.
Office Home Premium is a mere $10 a month, but a convenient annual subscription is only $100 a year. This is a substantial discount to Microsoft's Office 365 business products ($150 / employee / year).
Such a deal! Are you not absolutely thrilled?
Here are some slightly more reasonable alternatives, all of which are compatible with their Office equivalents:
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (completely free)
Numbers ($19.99)
Pages ($19.99)

Hi
I am receiving .pdf attachments which are greyed out, and cannot open them. Telstra helped me with my email problems yesterday and since then cannot open .pdf. I can open other attachment such as .doc. Entourage Version 12.3.6 in my Mac Book Pro.

Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

Cannot open pdf attachment on Curve 9360

Hi,
I cannot open some pdf attachments on my Curve 9360.
Some pdfs are fine but our fax to email service pdfs will not open - just get a qustion mark in the file icon and when trying to open I get 'This attachment type cannot be viewed on your device'.
This is really frustrating as it means when I am away from the office and we get a fax (which comes through as a pdf attachement by email) I cannot see what it is !
The same pdf files open fine on my laptop (in outlook) and a friend has a blackberry bold and the same pdf opens fine on his bold !
I am on OS7.1 (Bundle 2494) on my Curve 9360 but I have had the problem from back since OS6.
Any suggestions guys ? Could something be missing/corrupted on my Blackberry casuing this problem ?

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.

Downloaded adobe reader to iPad, but still cannot open PDF attachment to an email

Cannot open PDF attachments on my Mac; I have to copy PDF address an open it on Safari instead.

I cannot open PDF attachment on my Mac. One might think it is just slow, but the attachment never comes up. I have to copy the PDF address and paste it into Safari or Explorer, which have no trouble opening the very PDF that Firefox would not handle. I am guessing that I have some setting that is barring PDFs; other attachments open fine. My adobe is up to date, I think; if that was the problem Safari, too, would not be able to open the PDF.

There is a plugin that you can use, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox

Is there a way to open a zip file received via email on the iPad? I tried and a message popped up saying mail cannot open the attachment.

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

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.

How Do I Open a PDF attachment in IOS 8 mail app?

Hi all,
I am curious how do I open a pdf attachment in IOS 8 mail app?

Hi,
My friend has what you stated = a square with and arrow coming out the top and works as expected
BUT I don't
what happens to me - is the small muti page opens and does NOT show a pdf ICON - BUT DOES show only the first page and I DO NOT GET = a square with and arrow coming out the top TO CLICK ON!
So it seems the normal behavior is not happening - how can I fix this - to see ALL pages and or open pdf in another pdf app?

I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email. When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself. Can someone please help?

I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email. When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself. Can someone please help?

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.

I cannot open PDF documents correctly. I get an error on the page that says there is an error on the document. Neither Adobe Acrobat or Reader work.

I cannot open pdf files that are maps correctly . Some of the data layers are missing. I get a warning message that there is an error in the document and I should contact the originator. I have both Adobe Acrobat and the free version of Reader but neither will open them. When I forward them to other clients, they cannot open them either but can open them from the original sender.

Open Tools/Options/Advanced/general/Config. editor, copy mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks into the search box, double-click the preference to make its value false, OK, restart TB, and see if you still have problems with pdf attachments.
For messages that have already been received in IMAP accounts, you can force a re-download by selecting the Message Source (Ctrl-U), then try to open the attachment.
