Cannot open pdf when sent with thunderbird

When I send an email with Thunderbird the person who receives the email cannot open the PDF file, how do I fix this?

The problem is apparently at the receiving end. Not much you can do about this. You'd need to provide more details about the problem there assuming the recipient also uses Thunderbird.

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

    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.

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

  • Cannot open PDFs in Mail with Mavericks

    When I get emails containing PDFs in Mavericks, I can see the PDF in the context of the message, but there is no indication that there are any attachments, no way to save them to a location, and I cannot even click on them in the message to get them to open in anything.
    The only workaround I have found is to double-click the entire message, so that it opens in a separate window. Then if I mouse over the upper margin of the message in the center of the top bar, a little oblong radio button appears, giving me the option to forward it, trash it, or save it.
    Double clicking within the message does nothing.

    Actually, I realize that the little pop-up radio buttons appear in the original message as well, when you mouse over the fine line that separates the heading from the body of the message.
    Too bad that information isn't explained with the What's new in Mavericks information online.

  • 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 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.

  • 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. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Cannot open pdf with IE/ windows 7.

    Dear friends, and those who understand better than I.  I have been working on this situation for over a week.  I cannot open pdf from the browser.  I tried the "patch " as discussed in a different forum, but still only get the link to open in a seperate white blank page.  Any ideas?  I dont mind going back to an older version other than 10.1.2. I just dont know how to do that either, as I have not had to work this in depth with any software for years.

    Thanks for responding to this matter.  When I double click the link to open the pdf... a new tab opens with a blank screen.  It is white.  When I try to refresh, nothing happens.  I have also tried to save/download the file, and open it through that way.  When asked to save the document "pdf" is not available.  Only "all files."  However when I try to retrieve it, it says download is not available, as in... it did not download or save. 
    1.  All web browser options are selected.  I have already tried to uncheck, one, and all of these boxes.  Still the same results. 
    2.  I have tried several URL... All of the documents I have tried to retrieve have been within a secured website, such as salliemae.com (trying to view a 1098 for my student loan), and mycheckfree.com (trying to view bills from ComED and Nicor Gas). 
    If I open an old pdf on my computer... I can still read that.   
    Thank you for your time and help.  Im so frustrated, and missing deadlines!

  • Cannot open pdf file with Firefox 11.0

    Firefox automatically upgrades the version I am using. Since it was recently upgraded I cannot open pdf files. Am faced with a blank page. I went through some of the suggestions on these pages and when I opened the Tools window, there is a warning:
    Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X is incompatible with Firefox 11!
    Is there a way around it? Or is it time to say goodbye to Firefox and move to Safari?

    When Firefox updates, it turns
    off add-ons that are not
    compatible with the new
    version. In addition, add-ons
    that may have been
    automatically installed by other
    programs without your
    knowledge (third party add-
    ons) have been disabled. For
    more info about re-enabling
    add-ons, see the link below.

  • 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.

  • With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

    using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

    That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
    But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
    There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.

  • 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.

    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
