Cant open a pdf file as an email attachment

I need help. I can't open a pdf file as an email attachment. It's like my computer doesn't think reader is installed. I can open an existing file through reader. I have deinstalled and reinstalled reader and am getting the same results.

You can save the attachment and then open it.
We can try to help but you haven't mentioned what you are using for your email...

    hi DilbertG
    Thanks for the quick reply
    I have the PDF file local and select it from the browse
    button.
    The path is absolute.
    The address that IE shows is a MSN search for the PDF file
    name - eg the file name is Students with learning difficulties.pdf
    it goes to a MSN search and looks for Students with learning
    difficulties.pdf web pages.
    I test this in preview and does the above mentioned.
    Do I need to save the PDF in a different location so
    captivate can access it?
    Thanks for the help,
    Cheers

  • Cant insert a pdf file in outlook email

    Outlook freezes when I try to insert a pdf file in an email; no problem inserting any other type file.

    And how do you "insert" a PDF file?  How about attaching it?

  • Pdf file sent via email attachment gets a webloc extension

    Someone sent an email with a pdf attachment to our entire school via our google mail account. People with PCs were able to open the pdf files. Mac users received the pdf files with a webloc extension (i.e. - filename.pdf.webloc) and were unable to open it. How did this happen and how can we prevent it from happening again? I had 2 of the pdf files on my mac (one of which I created) and they did not have a webloc extension. Any help would be great. Thank you!!

    Hi Kappy.
    I tried that and received a message from Adobe Acrobat that read "Adobe Reader could not open 'Absentee Ballot.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    Since we have 300+ families who receive these emails and I don't know who has a mac and who doesn't I would rather be able to send the pdf attachments and prevent the webloc from being applied at all versus letting everyone know how to remove it once they receive it.
    Thanks for replying.

    Hi,
    is the next part of the code correct.

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Does this help with Firefox?

  • Cant open any pdf file on surface rt

    i have read and down loaded and tried everybway i know how and it says may not be compatible but everything i read says how easy it is to use,,,been trying to fix this for 4 days now...please help

    Adobe Reader XI is a Desktop app that supports viewing and editing of comments.  It can only run on Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets.
    What it means to you:
    * Microsoft Surface with Windows RT (currently available for purchase) or other ARM-based processor tablets
    You will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.  However, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer) to view and edit comments, instead.  Compared to Adobe Reader XI, Microsoft Reader's commenting feature is somewhat primitive and limited.
    * Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro (coming February 9, 2013) or other Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets
    You can install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.
    Adobe Reader for Windows 8 Tablets (Windows Store app) does not support viewing and editing of comments yet as of this writing.  But we are working on adding the support in the near future.
