Faxing PDF with Outlook

I have pc's with Windows 7 and Windows XP Pro SP 3 and Outlook 2003.
When we fax a document through our server we just put [fax:number] in the 'To...' box and it works.
But when I add attachments to it for example a pdf and a word and a excel file and send the e-mail it goes wrong.
It quickly opens word and excel, but the pdf file it doesn't open with the reader.
On a computer with Acrobat it does open it and also send it.
So my question is this function disabled in the Adobe Reader or can this be adjusted by changing some setting in Adobe Reader or in the Registry?
Thank you for your responses

Here are some screenshots:

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 .

PDF Preview handler error with outlook 2013 on RDS 2012R2

Anyone had any issues with outlook x64 2013 office and "PDF Preview handler", we are running adobe 11 with server 2012 R2. CHecked all the recommended reg settings are correct:
"Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
However still prompted with "this file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer: PDF Preview handler"
Also causes a popup box to say an internal error has occurred.
Loads fine when you double click the attachement.

Hello i got nearly the same problem. Selecting the .pdf attachment in outlook. error code says that no preview can be showed, because the needed preview isn't installed.
Server 2012 R2 as Terminalserver, Outlook 2013, newest version of adobe reader XI.
I've already checked the following:
- outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling .. the box disable preview is clear .. furthermore outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling>attachment and documentpreview .. all
boxes including pdf preview handler are filled.
- adobe reader XI>edit>presettings?>e-mail-account ... outlook is standart.
- Registryentry: "Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
- also i repaired the adobe installation and i reinstalled it a few times.
- even checked the access-rights on the temp. directorys outlook uses for attachments and the users have full access.
i have no more clue what it can be..
so may you have the solution for me or at least some tips.
Thanks,
Nikolai

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

Set up an internet fax service with an iBook G4 for $12

NOTE: There are plenty of online resources for configuring the elements discussed below. I don't want to write a book so I'll let you look these up for whatever providers and devices you ultimately use.
For what it is worth, here is my recent experience with my wife's trusty old iBookG4 which keeps on giving. For years now it has been a living room music hub, but once a year or so it gets used to send out a fax as all the newer machines lack the modem.
Recently I wanted to set up a permanent fax line, but expecting it to not get used much didn't want to invest much. I now have a permenant fax line with internet access for $12.
The $12 is just the annual cost of a DID number from a voip provider as I already had the necessary bits in use for other purposes, i.e.:
an iBookG4 (or other older model that can run OS X and has an internal fax modem)
a Linksys PAP2T ATA device (this is a fax compatible device which converts voip digital signals to analog for older phone systems. The PAP2T has two telephone line ports.)
STEP 1
Get yourself a phone number from a solid voip provider (one you can configue online). Set the audio codec to be only whatever your ATA device expects for fax compatibility. For the PAP2T this is G.711. I used voip.ms for the provider, there are others. The business line option is $0.99/month plus whatever time your faxes take -- which I don't expect to be much at $.01/minute. (You may notice that the voip rates are insanely low, this is because services like AT&T and even MagicJack make their money by simplyfing the process which can look intimidating, but in truth almost all default settings will work.) Check online for your service providers required settings. Most will have device configuration samples.
The essence here is to set up a voip service through an ATA to your iBook. (You don't have to do a voip line, you can go ahead and pay the regular phone company dedicated line rate if you wish. This is the saving money part, not internet functionality.)
STEP 2
Get Dropbox onto your iBook and your iPhone, iPad or whatever. Install a VNC app onto your iPhone so you can use the Apple Remote Desktop. The free Mocha VNC Lite app worked fine for me.
STEP 3
Go to Print&Fax preferences and click on the + button to create a fax printer as you did in the old days, but this time go Receive Options, turn on Receive faxes on this computer and set Answer to 1 so it responds immediately and Save to: to a Dropbox folder of your choice. (Since my iBook is always plugged in I disabled computer sleep as well in Energy Saver as it also needs to be readily availble to serve music.)
STEP 4
Go to Sharing preferences and enable Remore Management. For security I set access to a single dedicated user. Your needs may vary.
STEP 5
Make sure your Firewall will pass through VNC or typically port 5900. You have to see what your system requires to enable VNC and Apple Remote Desktop. Also, go into Network preferences, Advanced, and set a DHCP with manual address to ensure your firewall pass through always hits the right machine.
STEP 6 - Testing
- Go online to your voip provider and ensure your DID has registered.
- Create .txt or PDF on whatever machine and copy it to your Dropbox folder.
- Go to the HP fax test page and follow their instructions to send them a fax and have an automatic fax back.
- Head off to Starbucks or local wifi spot (you might want to use Hotspot sheild or other encryption). Call up VNC, go into Preview or whatever app and print to fax (IMPORTANT: There is a bug in OS X, since 10.4 I believe, requiring you to turn off the "Receive faxes on this computer" in order to send a fax. Turn it off, send, then go back and turn it on)
- Leave your VNC app and wait a bit. Soon Dropbox should notify you a file has been placed in your folder.
There you go Receive and Send faxes on your iPhone wherever you can get wifi. Or, as the civilized world does, send a PDF and let the less advanced send you a fax if they have to.

Use the instructions in this article to create a new network location; each location has its own set of options and doesn't affect the other locations.

Problem using the e-mail button in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 with Outlook 2013

I just switched my e-mail application from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2013.
I have always been able to click the e-mail button in Acrobat 7.1.0 to open a blank e-mail message with the PDF file attached.
I keep getting an error now that I have Outlook 2013.
It says "You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile. In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail. Click Show Profiles, and then click Add"
Then, when I click on the OK button it says "Acrobat is unable to log in to your email application. Please check your account settings and try again."
I have checked and I have one profile in Control Panel called Outlook. Outlook is set as my default e-mail program.
I tried using a 3rd party PDF reader (Foxit Reader) and the e-mail button works as expected (opens a new message with the PDF attached).
I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with Outlook 2013 32-bit (this was what was recommended by Microsoft on the Office download site).
I would appreciate help anyone can provide to fix this problem.
Thank you.

It may be a similar issue, but not the same issue. This is not the Reader forum, but if you are worried about the compatibility it is a simple matter to upgrade your Reader to AR XI. The original post had to do with a cost product, not the free Reader.
For AA7, the PDF Maker of AA7 is not compatible with Outlook 2013 as suggested. You should still be able to open most PDFs, but to create a PDF from Outlook you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or upgrade to AA XI.

Make your own Fax Server with Automator! (Pagesender solution for Mavericks)

I have been scouring these discussion boards for some time now looking for a suitable substitute to PageSender, an awesome fax solution for the Mac from SmileOnMyMac LLC, which for some inexplicable reason stopped development and updates after OS 10.6.8. The result is that many small business office users who still rely on fax (and yes...no matter what they tell you, most of the business world DOES still use fax because it's legally binding and more secure than email for the transmission of legal documents or healthcare records, and does not rely on database integration accross different systems, which is sadly but very realistically still a long ways off), and no longer have a way to integrate faxes into a paperless or digital workflow office system.
I suspect like many folks who receive faxes, those who used PageSender, used a very powerful feature to forward faxes by email, thereby turning your Mac into a Fax server that could distribute your faxes to other workstations and staff throughout the business via email. Presumably, if you have your own email server (Exchange, Kerio, AppleMail server, PostFix enabler etc.) you could distribute faxes on your own internal network, securely behind a firewall, and effectively create a digitial/paperless workflow for your faxes.
Even if you have a USB modem or multifunction printer that allows you to recieve a Fax to your desktop (Apple's internal fax via printer preferences, and some HP models like the HP MFP 127fw) for example will allow you to recieve a Fax to a desktop folder or forward to a single email address. But the former is of limited functionaliy and the later only lets you send to an email address out over the internet with a registered public domain, which means you give up all control of privacy and means you can't process it through a private mail server to create a digital workflow for your office...
...Until now!!!
I am happy to report that I have finally discovered a very easy and useable feature that will save a lot of time, money, and headaches for those looking to create a digital workflow and fax server system for a small office system. (I don't think there is any limit to scale here, but I suspect offices with more than 10 employees probably have a BizHub, or HP MFP/digital sender that can create the same process directly from the printer, but of course these come with a price tag of $2000 and up...).
To accomplish this however, you will need some basic requirements which are as follows:
1) A USB modem from either US Robotics or Zoom Modem. These are readily available from Amazon, MacMall or any number of other online vendors and work very well and seemlessly with all Macs running OSX right up through Mavericks
OR
A Multifunction printer that is capable of receiving faxes to a desktop Mac like the HP 127 fw. Other models exist from other manufacturers as well, but you will have to do a bit of research and probably check with the vendor or user manual directly to confirm that Fax to desktop is supported for Mac and OS 10.9.
2) A dedicated Mail Server (MSFT Exchange, Kerio, MacOSX server with mail server enabled, or PostFix enalber or MailServe from Cutedge Systems)
You will need to set up an email account on your server that is the parent for all incoming faxes from which the faxes will be sent out as part of your digital workflow. This is beyond the scope of this discussion but if you've come this far and you're still reading, you probably know how to do this already. I recommend setting this up as a POP account, not IMAP. This way, the attatchments (your faxes) will always remain on your server as a back up, until you delete them from the server.
3) Now simply go to System preferences and select "Printers and Scanners". Select either the Fax printer for your multifunction printer, or add a fax printer/reviever using the + button and select "Fax" if you are using a USB modem. You must have the USB modem attatched to the computer in order to use the built-in Apple Fax feature for the latter option.
4) Now click on the receive options. Select "Recieve faxes to this computer" and set your ring answer settings. Check "Save to" and select the designated folder (either Faxes or Shared Faxes on your computer) or create a new folder. Depending on the volume of faxes, and your back up systems, you may want to designate a separate folder on a separate drive, exclusively for your Faxes. This is where all your faxes will be stored.
5) Now launch "Automator" in your applications folder and create a new workflow. You will be presented with several options. Select "Folder Action".
6) At the top right of the window space you will see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" . Select the Fax folder you created in step 4.
7)On the left hand side of the "Actions" menu select "Mail"
8) From the list of actions select "New Mail Message" this will take the latest Fax added to your Fax folder and attach it as a PDF to a new outgoing mail. In the "TO" address put the email address that belongs to the parent account your created for the Faxes on your mail server eg. [email protected]. In the subject field you can put "Fax Workflow" or any other generic subject that will identify to all reciptients that this is an email that contains a Fax/PDF attatchment.
Under "account" use the SMTP account you set up on your mail server to handle the routing of internal emails. In most cases, this will be the same as the parent account created above. (Effectively, this account is sending and receiving emails to itself).
9) From the list of actions, select "Send outgoing messages".
10) Save the Automator workflow with a name like "FaxDistribution" or "FaxFlow".
11) Go back to the Fax folder you created in step 4. Right click or option click on the folder and scroll down the options menu and select "Folder Actions Setup". You will see a list of scripts including the Automator workflow you just created. Choose it.
That's it!! From now on, when you get a fax, it will get dumped into the designated fax folder, and this will automatically trigger the workflow to atttach and send it as an email to anyone in your office that is set up to receive emails with the "faxserver" address. You now have a paperless fax digital workflow server system for distributing your faxes digitally to anyone in your office who needs to review your faxes. Good luck!

Thank you for this interesting posting.

Please Help... Sync BB8900 with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

I have trawled the web looking for an answer to this question and can't find any answers, please can somebody help me !!!
I have owned my 8900 Curve for about 2 months and love it, I used to sync it with my old computer running Windows XP and Outlook 2007 and had no problems.Unfortunately that computer died and I have upgraded to a new PC unning Windows Vista, my problem is this... When I try to set up the sync options for my calendar,contacts etc I don't get the option to sync it with Outlook, I only get the option to sync it with
1... ASC II Importer/exporter
2...Yahoo.
I rely heavily on my BB being up to date and without this function may as well go back to my old PDA.
I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager a few times and even downloading older versions of it to see if this fixes my problem, all to no avail.
Please,Please can somebody help.
Thank You In Advance.

Hi,
By the "media control" I take it your were referring to the Vizkids Post, suggesting the mediad manager not be installed?
I didn't say that, I agree with it, but I didn't say it.

A friendly tip as this is your first thread, The User who suggested that has 4 more posts than you. He is new to the forum as well.
What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007
desktop, to start. You will see the history of the problems reading those subjects. You will see green resolution marked on most
Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past. Be sure to write your search results in you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
That's where the link I posted came from. Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?
I need some specifics on your Vista OS 32 or 64 bit?What version of desktop manage have you tried, removed reinstalled etc.?
Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
The installation was error free?
You setup the your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
you didn't have Outlook.
What steps did you try to resolve the problem?
Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,
Regarding the clean procedure post, The first part of the procedure states:
"To install BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Windows® based computer that
had a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed,
complete the five tasks outlined below. These tasks should also be
completed if the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation or
uninstallation procedures did not complete successfully."
Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old
registrations made by a previous DM installation.
Please let me know what parts are not clear.

Attach to email not working with Outlook 2011

I've created a pdf document for users to fill out and then click a SUBMIT button which attaches the document to an email and sends it back to me. It works great with Windows users, however, it fails to create an email for Mac users with Outlook 2011. It opens the program but doesn't create an email. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
Can someone please help in fixing this matter as there are people that use Macs.
Thanks
Matt

Yes the Acrobat PDFviewer Plug does nt work with anything but Safari on a Mac. In OS9 days it would work with any web Browser.
But Adobe has decided That they will only support Webkit Browsers and refuses to support despite pleading with Adobe by people using Ecko based browsers. This leave more people unable to use the adobe PDFviewer plugin, than can. A fellow from Germany called Schubert has come up with a PDF Browser Plugin that can use any Browser Webkit or Gecko except Internet Explorer. The one caveat is that you can't fill out forms. And he is banned from putting that feature in, by Adobe.

Acrobat X Pro with Outlook 2010 - Bookmarks & help!

Hi,
I am a novice user of Acrobat, and use it to produce the most basic documents with good results. I have only ever used Acrobat 7, and one thing that I have pushed to our managers here, is the ability to output a folder of emails direct from outlook to PDF, with automatic bookmarking. It really works very well.
The company now want me to procure Acrobat for the whole projects team for many reasons, particularly the bookmarked email export.
I have installed Acrobat X Pro now, with a view to roll it out, but I can not for the life of me work out how to do what was very simple and automatic in A7.
When I go to the preferences, 7 had an option for auto bookmark, but X doesn't.
This is embarrasing for me at the moment, can anybody help?
Regards,
Vince.

Hi Vince,
Acrobat X does not allow bookmarking of separate messages in flat PDF.
You should instead go for PORTFOLIO creation. This can be done via CHANGE CONVERSION SETTINGS in the PREFERENCES hive of "Adobe PDF" ribbon > Opt for "Output Adobe PDF Portfolio when creating a new PDF file".
Portfolio creation helps retain the folder structure that existed in your mail client, making it easy to traverse messages in a layout similar to that of the common mail clients.
For filtering the PDF content in archived Portfolio, you could use FILTER(s). These can be added via choosing the FILTER icon from the mail archive navigator, as shown below and adding criteria for filtering messages:
Thanks!

Why did Acrobat Pro X slow down attaching pdfs in Outlook 2003?

I've unfortunately joined the club of slooooow attaching pdfs to Outlook 2003 after installing Acrobat Pro X.
I can send any attachment other than a pdf to Outlook 2003 and it sends instantly/normally. Since installing Acrobat Pro X 10.1.0 there's an instant lag as soon as I click the pdf to attach it. Outlook appears to freeze for several minutes and during this time I can work in other programs. Then all of a sudden, everything is normal and I can send the email, with pdf attached like normal.
I'm running Windows XP, Service pack 3 and everything else in the 5.5 suite is working fine.
There was some discussion in the Reader forum regarding the subject but I wasn't sure if the fixes described would apply to the full Acrobat program.

Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Performance Problems (Open PDF from Outlook)

Hello all,
Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Multi Language version was rolled out to several hundreds of Win XP SP3 client machines.
Now users start reporting that Adobe Reader starts very slow. Most users complain that opening a PDF attached to an email in MS Outlook takes very long (10 sek up to several minutes).
In some forums I found problems with PDFs in Outlook in versions before 10.1.1.
Does anyone has an idea what causes this slow response?
Is there anything we can test to come closer to the problem?
Thanks for help.

I do not have this problem with Reader 10.1.6 or 11.0.2 on Outlook 2007.
WhatI would do if I encountered such a problem: observe the process with Process Monitor. This could give me some clues what is going on, compared to an earlier Reader version that did not cause this problem.

Sending Email in Adobe Reader XI with Outlook 2003

After upgrading the Acrobat Reader on our Terminal Servers with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Outlook 2003, it is not possible to send pdf from Acrobat Reader via E-Mail. When we select the function to send the document per mail (with the default mail program (Outlook)), the focus switches to Outlook (when started), but no mail with the pdf-file as attachment is opened.
Is Acrobat XI not compatible with Outlook 2003 anymore? Is it a problem only in terminal server environments?
Is anybody able to get this to work in a similar environment?
Thanks for any help.

11.0.01 patch was released last thursday (01/10).
