Email attachments in PDF

I am using Windows XP and have Adobe Reader 9.
The message attachment comes in to us with winmail.dat but the attachment was sent to us using PDF producer Acrobat Distiller 6.0 (windows)
PDF version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)
why does it do this?
we need to be able to open these attachments.
Any ideas?

Ask the sender to send it again, this time using Plain Text as the
format for his Outlook mail message.

The easiest way (and OS independent, so you don't need Outlook or blat or something like that) is to send the email and attachment from the database. Package utl_smtp won't let you do that, but with Java mail you can. So, after you generated your report, you can mail it using Java mail.
Everything is described very clearly in note 120994.1 on Metalink (How to Send E-mail With Attachments from PL/SQL Using Java Stored Procedures).

Convert Outlook 2010 emails + attachments to pdf

Looking for some help. We've upgraded to Office 2010 and are unable to convert emails and attachments from Outlook 2010 to pdf using Acrobat Pro 9, 10, or 11. This function was working with Outlook 2007 and Acrobat Pro 9. Any information on how to fix this would be helpful!

Thanks Anoop I was extremely needed to convert my Outlook emails to PDF including attachments and header portion. Before reading your post I also read an online discussion that indicates tips and tricks to complete conversion task without installing MS Outlook or any additional drivers & programs. I had read such type of discussion here http://www.pcvita.com/convert-outlook-emails-to-pdf-with-attachments.html by searching in google "PST to PDF". It resulted well and did required job precisely. Below is a glimps of GUI:

I can open all email attachments except .pdf.

Until yesterday I could open all attachments. Now I can't open .pdfs.

Email attachments download as ashx for Microsoft Outlook, instead of jpg, pdf, doc, etc. Tried to fix in Preferences Applications but still doesn't work.

Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Downloaded Firefox 8 on 11/9/11 and now Microsoft Outlook Web App 2010 downloads all email attachments as "attachment.ashx" instead of jpg, pdf, etc. This was not a problem with previous Firefox releases which I've been using for the past couple of years. Can open files if I edit the extension to the proper variety (ashx to jpg for example), but no longer initially automatically opens. Instead I first get a "can't open this file" message. Attempted to fix in Firefox > Preferences > Applications by indicating the proper "Actions" for various "Content Types" but this had no effect. Chrome and Safari browsers still work properly. How can I fix this?

What program should i use to open pdf files, documents for email attachments. Adobe is not working

I can not open any email attachments-large or small. I had adobe and switched to internet explorer. I do not have any other choices on my computer to pick from other than word pad and it opened the attachment but was not readable.

Please download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the following weblink that will help you to open and read all the PDF files:

Unable to send PDFs as email attachments

I have become unable to send PDFs as email attachments when using Firefox.
Depending on the PDF, I either get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” or it opens as a blank document. This occus when opening the file with both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro. The problem seems to be isolated to PDFs. (I am able to send Word files. If a PDF is zipped before attaching, it can be opened without problem.) This occurs on both an institutional email account and personal (Yahoo) email account. This problem is isolated to Firefox (does not happen in Chrome).
I have reset Firefox to default settings, as well as reinstalling.
Thank you.

Update Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 to version 11.
Also please update all of your plugins and try again.
Does this happen when you open the pdf in pdf.js, it is possible to change the default viewer by:

Pdf files as email attachments come in unreadable Word

pdf files as email attachments come up in unreadable Word. What am I doing wrong?
These files are saved as .pdf

If they automatically open in Word, then you need to change the file association.
Easiest by uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe Reader.

Sending PDF + Excel as Email attachments in Unicode System

Hi,
I have a problem in sending mails having 2 attachments. one with PDF and another Excel. I use SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 by populating contents_bin table. PDF attachment is fine (PDF is created from spool), but excel attachment fails to open correctly. I refered note 1151258, but not successfull.
When I tried using contents_hex as suggested in report SENDLIST, the PDF attachment is corrupted.
The above method works fine in non-unicode system. But not in a unicode system.
In short I want to send two attachments (one PDF by reading spool and second excel by using an interanl table) in a mail. Any ideas & suggestions please?
Thanks,
Ravikanth

Why can I not open PDF email attachments?

Normally on my iPhone I'm able to simply click on the PDF attachment at the bottom of an email and it opens for me to read but I just got an iPad and it doesn't seem to do that. When I click attachments in my email nothing happens. But for instance when I try to open attachments I have saved in Dropbox they open perfectly fine.

Well something has changed since IOS came out. I can't open email attachments anymore in all apps.
Up until say 3 weeks ago I would tap on an email attachment (a PDF) and a menu of apps would appear. Normally I would choose Goodreader or iBooks to open the PDF. No problems. My iPad2 would switch to the app and open the PDF.
Now that IOS 6 is out when you touch the email attachment icons appear. Goodreader and iBook show up. But when i touch either one of these icons nothing happens. It won't switch to the app and open the PDF anymore.
Two other things. I do have other apps that appear such as PDFSplicer. If i choose it the iPad2 switches to that app and opens the PDF. It's only Goodreader and iBook that won't work anymore.
second, I went to my local Apple store and talked to the guys at the genius bar. I demonstrated the problem to them. They said it looks like a bug and suggested I send a bug report to apple. Never heard back from them.
Any ideas?

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Why don't pdf email attachments not open in pdf reader?

I have a series 1 iPad running the latest ios available for that model. I have an email with some PDF attachments that I want to open and store in PDF reader however the only options presented are to read the attachments using iBooks or Kindle. Why is this?

Thank you. I tried installing adobe reader and it worked but it made me wonder why. I have the PDF reader created by Kdan and so I went on their website and found the following.
Unfortunately Apple's device has a limitation on the app number displayed on the open-in list and we are not allowed to change its order.
We suggest you delete some of the existing apps equipped the open-in feature to get PDF Reader available on the open-in list.
When I installed adobe as suggested, that appeared in 2nd place. I de-installed convert to text and I-can-print, which I hardley ever use, and sure enough Kdan PDF reader now appears in the list.
Thanks for the lead

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader.

PDFs not opening online or in email attachments

Recently my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5), my iPad, and my iPhone have not been consistently opening PDF files, either from the Internet (informational downloads from a website, for instance) or email attachments, some of which have previously opened successful. Oddly enough, my MacBook Pro (also 10.7.5) will open some of the files that the other devices don't, but not all of them. We have tried updating the newest Adobe Reader, renaming the files, printing as a PDF…nothing has worked. Any tips?

Right click on the PDF in your browser and select Save Link As to download the PDF file locally. Then,
1.       In your web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
2.       (Windows only) From the Files Of Type menu, choose All Files.
3.       Click Browse.
4.       Select the PDF you have saved previously, and then click Open to open the PDF. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file but doesn't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file.
