E-mail Applicatio​n not recognizin​g PDF Viewer on Pre

I am having trouble getting the e-mail application to open attached PDF files using the PDF viewer app. Any PDF file I attempt to open that was attached to an e-mail gives me an error message, "Cannot find an application which can open this file." I have taken the exact attached file from my PC, downloaded it to the PRE using a USB transfer, and am able to open it in PDF Viewer on the phone. I also tried to send myself a word document (.docx file), and was able to open and view that file through an E-mail attachment. I was previously able to open PDF files, and I assume I lost that functionality with the latest software update. I would appreciate any thoughts, or suggestions, as I am unsure if this is a software issue or something I can fix with some kind of settings. Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have the same problem with my PRE. However, I noticed that the viewer will open PDF documents produced by "Amyuni PDF converter". So, depending on which software is used, the PRE will open or not the PDF file. I have called Palm about this (in sept of 09) and they said they were looking into it. It would be nice indeed to have a PDF viewer which would open all PDFs.

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • HT2506 Reviewing long notes on Preview PDF Viewer

    How can I click between annotated notes on Preview when there are so many that they are hidden under each other and in the wrong order?

    can you please tell me how do I find the file information on a document I have open in preview.
    I cant work out how to see the path??
    One way to see the path is to press the command key and click on the title of the Preview window. You will get a display of folders corresponding to the path to the file. If you click on the entry just below the title it will open the enclosing folder and show you the file in the Finder.
    and there doesnt seem to be a 'get info' or "show file in finder option"  ?
    thanks
    Once you have the folder selected in its folder (from the previous step) inside the Finder (not Preview), you can do the Get info thing.

  • PDF e-mail attachment will not open after FF update

    FF 31 and/or 32
    Outlook or GroupWise fat client
    PDF attachments
    After FF updated PDF's were re-associated with FF not the installed PDF program. Used Windows to re associate PDF's to PDF program. No problem, all PDF's open in PDF program UNLESS the PDF is an attachment in an e-mail.
    Open e-mail fat client (doesn't matter the client) try and open the PDF and user gets message stating there is no program associated with attachment. Yet, all PDF's still open with correct PDF program as long as they are not in the e-mail. Now here's the really weird part.....
    If there are two or more PDF's attachments in the same e-mail the first one will not open but the second, thirds, etc attached PDF's will open with the correct PDF program.
    The only temporary solution I have found is to uninstall FF, re-install it and for a 1/2 day the issue goes away. I have not figured out the trigger that resets the issue.
    FF is my go-to browser, but since v 31 this has been happening and if it keeps up, I'm switching to Chrome.
    Come on Tech Support, help us out with this issue.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

    How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail.  Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail.  What have I done differently?

    Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
    Any more clues?

  • Why can I not upload a pdf to attach to an e-mail using hotmail & Friefox?

    Creat PDF, attach 2 e-mail & send via hotmail/firefox. Get message " Files with errors will not be uploaded" a view option reveald "This file couldn't be added because it appears 2B empty (0 bytes)." Same happens when I re-send previously successfully pdf e-mails. Same attachment will upload and be successfully sent and received if I use entourage or safari. My problem seems to be only using hotmail/Firefox. What has changed stopping what I have successfully done on many previous occasions?

    If you are using Safari then you can't as Safari doesn't support the uploading of content, but there are a number of Facebook apps which you should be able to use to upload photos e.g. the 'official' Facebook app

  • Error message 'not a valid PDF document'

    Hi folks,
    my Z10 has trouble opening some PDF documents sent as email attachment. When I try to open them the error message appears:
    Important message
    The document cannot be opened because it is not a valid PDF document
    There is no BES10 Service involved in my environment. Mails are synced with with active sync.
    OS Version: 10.2.0.429
    Any suggestion appreciated.
    Best regards,
    RAUMPATROUILLE

    Stuffit is the only app I know of which can decompress its own format. Your Windows clients must use the free Expander to open them. Otherwise, use OS X's built in zip compression and they'll be able to open the files without the need of third party software. Right click on any item, or group of items and choose, "Compress xxx Items" (how it will read if more than one item is chosen).

  • "Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it either...

    The full error message reads: "Abobe Reader could not open 'filename.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)."
    I understand this is a common problem, but I have yet to see a clearly defined answer. I am running the latest update of Abobe Reader 9.3 on Windows 7. It didn't work on other updates either.
    I received the file as an e-mail attachment, along with some other PDFs. All of them can be opened except this one. I tried forwarding the e-mail to other servers (i.e. Hotmail) and I couldn't open it there either.
    I have tried opening it directly from the Adobe Reader program, latest version of IE, and latest version of Firefox. I have tried unchecking the "Display PDF in Browser" box under Edit > Preferences. I have tried changing the file name and adding ".pdf" to the end of it. Nothing works.
    The file says "27 KB" which sounds a little low to me since this should be a fair-sized document, but doesn't read "0 KB" as others with this problem have noted.
    Any help with this issue so this question can finally be resolved for the hundreds of people that have had this error message would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    There has been tons of help on this issue.
    The official word is, ZIP the PDF's before emailing or post them to a website and email a link to them. Some email clients use encoding (Adobe can't do anything about that part) and when the file is decoded at the other end, it is corrupted. It can happen to some of them or all of them.

  • E-mail a Single Page from a PDF document.

    How do you e-mail a single page from a PDF document that has multiple pages? When I go to File > Attach E-mail in Adobe it e-mails the whole document and I do not want that. I just want to e-mail selected pages and not the whole document. How can I do that in Adobe Acrobat?
    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard version 8, Windows XP Professional SP3.

    You need to extract it first as a new PDF. You can do so using Document - Extract pages...

  • Outlook Quirk With E-Mail Submission of XML and/or PDF

    Hello all.
    I am running into an annoying little Outlook quirk when testing e-mail submissions of PDF forms. When the submit button is clicked, Outlook will open a new message window as it should, but the
    Send button will not trigger when clicked. The new message window doesn't react, it just sits there normally. Also,
    Ctrl+Enter doesn't work either. But...if I save the message as a draft, and then send from Outlook's drafts folder, the e-mail miraculously goes its merry way.
    I have tried this out with submitting the XML data by e-mail and with sending the completed PDF via e-mail (both by revising the
    Submit By E-mail button's submit node to "PDF" in the XML and by using a regular button and changing the field's control type and submit info).
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why Outlook is being finicky with this? I am running Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro and I use LiveCycle Designer 7.0 to create and edit the forms and Acrobat Pro 8.0 to test. My testers also use Outlook 2003/WinXP Pro and use Acrobat Pro 7.0 to fill in the forms.
    Thanks for the time and any help.

  • Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

    On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
    I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account.  If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
    I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
    If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document.  If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
    This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.

  • Attachments in Mails from iPad not conform to RFC2046

    Hello Community,
    Mails which were sent from iPad / iPhone and have attachments have the following technical structure:
    Headerfield Content-Type is multipart/alternative;
    --Apple-Mail-6--139698084 / Content-Type: text/plain;
          <Text>
    --Apple-Mail-6--139698084 / Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
          --Apple-Mail-7--139698081 / Content-Type: text/html;
                <Text>
          --Apple-Mail-7--139698081 / Content-Type: application/pdf;
          --Apple-Mail-7--139698081 / Content-Type: text/html;
                <Text>
          --Apple-Mail-7--139698081--
    --Apple-Mail-6--139698084--
    In some receiving Mailapplications the attachment is only displayed in HTML View, not in
    the Text-Only View of the Mail. Therefore the recipient does not see the attached Document
    when he displays the Mail in Text-Only View.
    Therefor I think that AppleMailer is not conform to the RFC2046:
    5.1.4.  Alternative Subtype
    The "multipart/alternative" type is syntactically identical to
    "multipart/mixed", but the semantics are different.  In particular,
    each of the body parts is an "alternative" version of the same
    information.
    What do You think about that ? Is this the right place to discuss this ? If not: Where can I report
    such a Problem ?
    Kind regards,
    dstrict

    If the columns are not sortable, and you can't delete tracks, that would suggest your iPad is automatically syncing with your library. You can manage the content of the iPad in this mode by creating one or more playlists for music that you do want on the device and changing the options on the music tab to include only selected playlists. You can repeat this for other kinds of media. Alternatively on the Summary tab enable the option to Manually manage music and videos.
