Firefox corrupts pdf files sent by squirrelmail.

Using 8.0 but this has happened with several versions of Firefox. It doesn't happen in Google Chrome. The pdf is identified as text/plain.

I will try zip file sending.
However I have already tried the second suggestion i.e. sending mail to my
own three IDs. Usually hotmail and dataone mail is received OK but the mail
received through the internet mail server of the company gives this problem.
Usually the people complaining of receiving blank file are also receiving
mails through their company's internet servers.
I have already checked version in my pdf distiller it is compatible with
earlier versions upto pdf 5.0.
The mail received blank is not "zero bytes" but it is slightly smaller,
about 1-2 kb, than that of the correctly received ones. After opening, the
page is totally blank. I tried saving the attachment first and then opening,
the result is same.
I will check the MIME and then let you know.
With warm regards,
O.P.Dogra

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

    General Repair of Adobe Acrobat Reader corrupted .pdf file...
    1. Go to adobe official site, click the "Support" tab on the top of the screen, click on "Adobe Reader," and then select the "I can't open a PDF document" statement underneath "Troubleshooting." The Support tab is located near the top of the screen as a white word against a black backdrop. After clicking Support, you will see the phrase "Product Support Centers" on a new page in bold white font, under which is "Adobe Reader." The new page after clicking "Adobe Reader" will have the word "Troubleshooting" underneath the phrase "Adobe Reader and Help Support." Underneath "Troubleshooting" is "I can't open a PDF document."
    2. Follow the instructions on how to complete a general repair and installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To attempt the most basic PDF repair method, Open "Adobe Acrobat Reader" (select the program in your Start menu, which is on the bottom-left part of the screen), select "Help" from the gray tab menu at the top of Adobe Acrobat Reader, and click on "Repair Adobe Reader Installation." A meter should pop up indicating that your Adobe version is being checked for errors and is being linked back to the home Adobe official website just in case you need to download a new update of the program. If you need to download an updated version of the program, another pop-up will appear on your screen asking you if you want to update Adobe. Click "Yes."
    3. Reopen the PDF file. It should now be readable. If not, then try the next set of directions.
    4. If nothing helped, and you can't redowload .pdf file from source where it was, then use third party solution PDF On-line repair service https://onlinefilerepair.com/en/pdf-repair-online.html

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

    I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

    Hey guys,
    So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

  • Problem Reading pdf files sent thru e-mail

    I saved some software output prints to pdf files (software has option for saving to pdf) and e-mailed to a co-worker.  I can see and print fine from my hard drive but recipient got only dots on the pages.  Should have been numbers and text.  I have Adobe 8.1.2.  Do you have any idea why this happened or what to do?  Thanks.

    Some email servers corrupt PDF files because they use the wrong encoding for them. Try zipping them up before sending them.

  • Why can't I open pdf file sent by email?

    I recently installed Word 2007. I couldn't open a pdf file sent to me by Hotmail email and using Explorer 9. If I download it in open/save I can open it but can't open it as an email.
    I have Acrobat and even reinstalled it because I heard I should do that to make sure it was installed properly. Should I purchase something to help this problem?
    Please, help
    Thank you,
    Apadana

    Don't know why you would uninstall Acrobat. I assume you must have another PDF reader if you don't want Acrobat installed (for whatever reason). If you do not have another reader, you will not be able to read the PDF. On a MAC, you could use the Preview, but a PC does not have that option. On a PC, the reading of a PDF depends on the settings of both your OS and the mail package. It is not clear what happens when you try to open the PDF, or even how you are trying to open it. Hard to help when we don't know what you tried to do. Sorry.

  • Interactive Report Produces Corrupt PDF File

    Hello.
    I am using Apex 3.1.2 and have created an Interactive Report (IR). I then chose the "Download as PDF" option and chose the "Open" option. This caused an error about a corrupt PDF file.
    I then saved the file to my Windows drive and attempted to open it using Wordpad. I saw the following error as the very first line in the file:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    I would much appreciate any suggestions as to what to do.
    Thank you.
    Elie

    No Christina,
    First I went under report attributes on Interactive reports under download
    Download formats:
    CSV and PDF
    I checked both. CSV format is fine. PDF format is corrupt.
    Next I then went in using the below:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31rpt.htm
    It tells me I don't have a print server defined. I am trying to get the INLINE method to work.
    I see in the ADMIN there is a print server configuration section though it is not totally clear as I would think that you would get the default print configuration as you would with any other PDF docuement.

  • Pdf image recovery from corrupt pdf files

         the pdf file in which i kept my pictures gt corrupt. i used image extractor tools but for nothing. please help me. i am clueless what to do?

    How silly was I as I had been using PDF files since the day I learned to operate the computer system and didn’t know anything about them. Then one day I realized that why don’t I learn something about PDF to become a mater in it.
    As we know in these days, PDF files are most commonly used by worldwide. Belong to any part of the society, we as an individual or an organization use PDF files. Therefore it has become very essential element in computer service.
                                      “Generally a PDF or Portable Document Format file is a self-contained cross-platform document which appears same as in the form of soft copy or hard copy. PDF files are used by all of us as they contain the complete formatting of the original document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing complex information to be downloaded efficiently.”
    PDF is very popular due to its easiest form of transferring the files over and through the internet as it maintains the original formatting and secures the documents so nicely that other files’ formats don’t.
    Any PDF file contains text or images and sometimes both i.e. text and images. It can be used for office presentation, school assignment or personal collection. But sometimes we don’t need the text part which is inside our PDF file. Occasionally, we need only the pictures from our PDF files. That time we usually do this: copy the images or pictures from the PDF files and then paste them in other new PDF file. That process of copy and paste takes a long time and makes us tired. So that time we need an application which can easily extract all the images and pictures from our PDF files in very short point of time.
    But just think about this: How can you extract images and pictures from a PDF file which is corrupted. Because there is not any software application which can extract the images and pictures from a corrupt PDF file. Did I say no?
    Actually there is a tool which can easily extract the images and pictures from not only a normal PDF file but also from a corrupt PDF file. With the help of this tool anyone can easily extract the images and pictures from a single or multiple PDF files of all versions such as 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7, from Adobe Acrobat 3.x to Adobe Acrobat X either it is normal or corrupted as it is very simple to use.  After extracting the images and pictures, it allows you to save them in different formats such as JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF. It is one of the fastest extracting tools which does extraction process in no more time.
    i used this tool as it was refered earlier in this thread, and i am totally satisfy from this tool : PDF Image Extractor from SysInfoTools. What a utility excellent work done by experts.

  • How to repair corrupted PDF-File  ?

    Hi there !
    I am having problems with a couple of PDF-files which got damaged due to a hard drive break down / file recovery action.
    Neither can i open them ("...not supported") nor have several attempts in repairing them (by using Pdf-repair software) been successful.
    Interesting point about it is, that in terms of file characteristics everything seems to be OK (file size, file type etc. are recognized by the computer).
    Does anyone have an idea what could be done to get my PDF's back to a readable status ?
    Thanks     timrelo
    Ps: In case you got an idea about how to fix a corrupted pdf-file, i am willing to send you one of my files.
          To do so, please send an email to    [email protected]    and i will email you a file.

    Hi Bernd,
    unfortunately i don't have the root-file (indesign etc.) to re-create/export a new pdf.
    all i got is a couple of restored (from the crashed hard drive) pdf files which are indicated as being "corrupt/damaged".
    greets   tim

  • My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.

    My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the  HP Eprint centre.  It does print the cover e-mail but nothing else.  The attachment is not secure as far as I can see.  I have tried sending an attachment from my Mac and that worked fine.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello krnkln3.
    Are you trying to send the PDF as an attachment in an e-mail sent to the ePrint e-mail address of the printer or are you trying to print using the ePrint app?
    Try sending the same PDF document to the printer's ePrint e-mail address and let us know if that works. If this works but using the ePrint app is not working, maybe the ePrint app is not working fine with this PDF document (it could be due to it's size or something else). Remember that you can always use the e-mail ePrint address of the printer to send PDF documents as the processing is happening at the HP servers and not in your iPad as when you try to send it using the ePrint app.
