Cannot open pdf files using optonline email

PDF attachments to optonline emails do not open. It was possible at one time to open PDF files by right double clicking the file bar and selecting "reload page" but that no longer works.

Hi FRANKIMOSSI,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? I'd take a look at [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is a lot of information in there and it lists a couple of different PDF add-ons. I'd try both to see if it is localized to just one.
Hopefully this helps!

  • I cannot open pdf files that are emailed to me. Can anyone help?

    What operating system?  Email client?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • I cannot open PDF files in IPad email attachments.

    Will I pad open PDF files? I get nothing when clicking on the document, but have read the iPad 2 will open PDFs without a 3rd party app. Please help.

    If they don't have digital rights management on them then you should be able to open them. If they are large PDFs you may have to wait a little while for them to finish downloading.
    If they still don't open then you could try closing the Mail app completely and then re-open and see if you can then open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I cannot open PDF filkes sent via email. I used too. nHow do I fix.

    Cannot open PDF files sent via email. The open via Word in encripted jinerish. This has not happend until now.

    I had the same problem.  My version of RoboHelp is pretty old (x5) and the problem was with pdfs made up in version 9.  Some pdfs would open and some would not.  It depended on the version used to make the pdf.  Got error messages and corrupted file messages.
    I solved the problem by using the full version of Acrobat and using the pdf Optimizer to make compatible with version 5( just to make sure).
    Another option is to "print" to the pdf printer when the file is open.
    Both then can be imported into RoboHelp without a problem
    Hope this helps.  It ruined many days at work for me while I tried to figure out what on earth I was going to do.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • 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 files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

    I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

    I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
    Go to Tools/Add-ons
    You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
    On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
    If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
    There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
    If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

    cannot open PDF files in safari.  It tells me first character is invalid - I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled the program.

    HI..
    If you are using Adobe Reader ...
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
    Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then reinstall >  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

    Which Operating system you are using?
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Cannot open pdf files

    I cannot open pdf files from the internet.  I just get a small white cross in a black background in the top left hand corner of the screen.  This is not just from one website but happens with all.  Advice please.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and Internet Explorer as the browser and have the latest Adobe.

    Richvan2, welcome to the forum.
    The first thing you should do is run your antivirus program.  It could be a virus.
    Then, you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It may be a glitch in the current version on your computer.
