File attachments to pdf

I have bought a new computer and I write reports, I have installed office and acrobat 9. I have written part of the report and converted it to pdf, I now need to add files to make it a single pdf. I did this many times on my old computer but I am not given an option now other than paying again for this. Any ideas?

You might have both Reader and Acrobat installed. If that's the case open
one of them, and then go to Edit - Preferences - General and click on
Select Default PDF Handler, select Acrobat from the list and click OK.
Close the application and the next time it should automatically open
Acrobat when you create a PDF.

Viewing attachments to PDF files in Preview

Hi all,
Sometimes files are attached to PDFs so that the attached file (spreadsheet, movie, whatever) comes along with the PDF. It's easy to see the attached files using Acrobat Reader (you click on the paperclip icon), but I can't figure out how to see them in Preview. Is this possible? Please note that I am talking about attachments within PDF files, not PDFs attached to emails!
Thanks in advance,
wrathkeg

I have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour.

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

File Attachments are blank - PDF IO Exception

Hi Everyone,
I have a Web Dynpro Java Application form that when submitted generates an Adobe Interactive form along with any attachments and starts a guided procedure. Today I'm experiencing a random error (see below), if I preview the Adobe form before the workflow starts then the attachments seems fine (correct size) but once submitted the first approver will get a null pointer exception and the file attachments appear blank. I've used the same data over and over again but it only happens randomly. I can't replicate it in my DEV or TEST to be able to debug nor can I find the cause. Anyone know what this error is?

I can't open PDF File Attachments

Hello,
I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
And I can just open Word and Excel files.
If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
Someone has a idea.
Regards
Erdem

Hi Aadesh,
I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application' on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

Allow Zip Files as Attachments in PDFs

As many of you are aware, newer versions of Acrobat have removed the ability to open or save zip files attached to a PDF (without a complex registry hack).
Notice that I've attached a zip file to this post. Adobe: If you've deemed zip files safe enough to be hosted and delivered in your own forums, maybe they're safe enough to be reinstated in PDFs?
I believe no product should force security on its users without providing them any practical way to override. Web browsers, email clients, and operating systems warn you of potentially dangerous files and then let the client make the choice. What if it's a zip file from a trusted source full of harmless text documents? Too bad - because Acrobat says so. Acrobat makes no attempt to examine the zip file to see if perhaps its contents are dangerous - it just sweepingly decides zips are far too dangerous to let the user have any voice in the matter. I fundamentally disagree.
I think Adobe got this one wrong - and I cast a vote that they loosen the noose on zip files on a future release. I'd like to hear other users' thoughts on this issue. Adobe is good at listening to their users - so tell them what you think.
Cheers,
Dan

This information is for Acrobat Professional users in Windows XP. I don't know if it
is valid for PCs using only Acrobat Reader.
Adobe is wrong but that doesn't mean we have to live with their problem.
Since when does anyone open attachments from unknown or unsolicited sources?
Some zip files can be or contain executables (.exe) but that is no excuse for not
knowing where your emails or files come from and not having up to date virus software.
Adobe did not disallow zip file attachments, they just buried the enable so deep
that the average user would never find it and using an editor (regedit) that most users
have never heard of. As far as I am concernced, without any word from the Adobe
Tower, this is pure marketing.
I have inserted a jpeg photo that shows, for Windows XP, where to find the hidden enable
and how to edit to allow opening OR saving (recommended) zip files. This is the
file I have been passing to my Engineers and suppliers. The information comes from
a help call I put in to Adobe.
Editting the registry is not difficult, you just need to be sure that nothing unusual
happens while editting the text or saving after done. Have an IT person or other
superuser do the edit if you are unsure. After editting and saving, select BuiltInPermList,
then pulldown File and click Export. This produces a one-click edit that will fix the
problem on any Windows XP computer.
Adobe is also blocking rar, tar and tgz compressions.
This edit needs to repeated anytime Acrobat is reinstalled.

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.

HT2500 Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files)

Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files) to send. It was working just fine and after some period of non-use it just stopped accepting attachments to send. The system is all up to date. And, I have the same problem on two different Imacs.

I had exactly the same problem as arthur1234. I followed his own suggested fix in his post of 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM.
His fix worked perfectly. Attachments are now being sent and received as they have been for the last 10 years or so.

How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

Attachments in pdf Portfolio

I keep getting the error message: Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

Using Acrobat X

Hi,
I have Acrobat 9.5 on my machine and I am not able to see any problem in opening non PDF file attachments.
Please give the exact version of Acrobat you are using ( to see the version go to Help -> About Adobe Acrobat).
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e 9.5.
As you have mentioned that in Preferences-> Trust Manager-> Allow opening of non PDF file attachment with external applications is grayted out,
is it a custom installation of Acrobat ?? because in normal installation this option is not grayed out.
Thanks.

Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package. We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all. It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files. With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments. As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2). I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine. As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
Create a link using the Link tool
Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
Select one of the following link actions:
Go To A Page View
Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
Open A File
Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK.
Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
       Open A Web Page
                 Provide the URL of the destination web page.
       Custom Link
                 Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.
