Minor incompatibility between outlook 2010 and (pdf-) Reader app

Hi.
On win8.1 x64 enterprise (fully patched, including all optional updates to-date), I have found a slight incompatibility with outlook 2010 (x86, sp2). If anybody would like to reproduce it, here are the steps:
First, make sure that the Reader app is your default pdf viewer. Now open outlook and take a message with a pdf attachment. Right click the attachment and select "quick Print". Expected behavior: the attached pdf is sent to your default printer.
Instead, nothing happens.
If I set Adobe Reader as default pdf viewer, it works as expected.
Please be aware that the cause is related to the reader app which is not started by outlook. In order to quick print, the pdf reader would need to be started first, as observed with adobe reader: it flashes up briefly before printing starts.
So the problem is with either outlook or with the way win8.1 manages calls from program to program - I don't know. Please note it has nothing to do with the model of the printer, it happens with all printers, even virtual ones.
If we think of companies adopting win8/8.1, this is really annoying, as it will require them to install a 3rd party reader.
Please look for a solution. If I should report it anywhere, just say where.

Hi,
I made a test on our test enviroment, Windows 8.1 X64 Enterprise, Office 2010 PRO SP2.
There is no problem to printing as you description. You may need to consider if this is Office problem.

  • Slow connection between outlook 2010 and Windows 2012 R2 DC

    I'm having issue that affects all site users, our setup is:
    1 x Exchange 2007
    2 x Domain contollers, on 2008 R2 and one 2012 R2 
    Outlook 2010;
    We have been experiencing issue's with users when they have a connection to the 2012 DC via outlook, were when they send an email it takes approx. 20 seconds for the email to be sent to the outbox. What will happen is an 'hour-glass' will appear and a bubble
    appears from the outlook icon in the system tray stating that outlook is trying to establish a connection to the 2012 DC. 
    The users that are connected to the 2008 DC do not have this issue and the same email gets sent straight away.
    We have now put in an exclusion on exchange to prevent outlook clients from connecting to  the 2012 server, which has temporary resolved this issue.
    as soon as we lift the exclusion the issue reappears.
    I've performed PerfMon and NetMon captures of both DC's while this issue occurs but without obvious conclusion.
    Has anyone come across this or able to provide with some suggestions.
    thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you refer to Milos's suggestion and use the network monitor? Any update?
    Would you please let me know whether install any third-party application (such as: some security applications) on the server 2012 r2? In addition, please type outlook.exe /safe in RUN to start Outlook in Safe Mode, then check if this issue still exists.
    This will help us to confirm if the issue is caused by Outlook add-ins.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Sync email between Outlook 2010 (PC) and Outlook 2011 (Mac)

    I have a PC running Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2010 (which includes Outlook 2010).
    I currently use Outlook 2010 on the PC for my email.
    I also have a Mac running Lion 10.7.3 and Office 2011 (which includes Outlook 2011).
    Before iCloud there did not seem to be a way I could share my Outlook email (2010 and 2011 versions) between the PC and iMac.
    I now wonder if I can do this via iCloud and would appreciate any guidance/limitations associated with setting this up etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can connect your iCloud email ([email protected]) to Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2011.  Is that what you are after?
    Or are you wanting to do this with another email provider?

  • Outlook 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9

    I just purchase 3 licences of Adobe Acrobat 9 two days ago, and i notice that i can't create PDF with all methadata, and all attachment on it (like what i was able to do with Adobe Acrobat 9 + Outlook 2007 and 2003).
    So my question is : Is there a fix somewhere, or coming that will make this work ?
    I purchase these licence for three 60yrs old user that can use the little "Adobe Icon" on Outlook to create PDF, but will be completly lost if i ask to "print" and choose where...
    Also, it as been purchase for legal issue : it keep all metha data and all attached document, in their native format.
    So my latest question is : do i ask for refund (Adobe will do it, because i purchase that from them) or this will be fixed soon, and i only need to wait ?

    Win7, Outlook 2010 and Acrobat Standard 9 are working on one of my laptops. I was helping someone else install who is having an issue with Outlook 2010 crashings.  I was looking for the difference.  On my laptop, I did not have the .dll add-in installed in Outlook, so when I print, I print to the Adobe printer.
    I went to the non-working Adobe printer on the other laptop.  I went to change to get a new driver.  When the driver windo popped up, I noticed there were 2 options available.  One of them was a newer date and said that it was for a 64 bit operating system.  I selected that driver and it fixed my issue of not being able to print from Outlook to the Adobe printer.  It will now allow me to print and save the .PDF file during the printing process.
    I do not know how Outlook 2010 is supposed to work with the add-in as I have never got that working.  So I do not know the difference.  So if you do have the add-in in Outlook and you are crashing even when it is disabled.  I would first suggest going to the re-install option when you boot from the installation CD and select modify.  Then go in and remove the Outlook add-in.  Then do what I have described above.  It works printing to the Adobe printer.

  • Multiple emails in outlook 2010 with pdf attachments will not print

    Here is our issue
    1. Select multiple emails in outlook 2010 with pdf attachments (versie 10.0.1)
    2. Go to file -> Print
    3. Select Print Options.  Check the box for Print Attached Files
    4. click Print The emails will print but only the first attachment will print. 
    After that we recieve the following error
    There was an error opening this document. The selected file cannot be found.
    We have tried turning off enhanced security mode but still get the same result

    You can also extract these pdf attachments via email attachment extractor from here and then send the pdf file for printing. I think this will be easier for you to print them all.

  • Single name space in between Exchange 2010 and 2013

    Hi,
    In my current environment I have 2 Exchange 2010 servers with DAG no CAS NLB. I installed Exchange 2013 with 2 CAS with WNLB and 2 Mailboxes with DAG. The main requirement is to configure Single name space to access in between Exchange 2010 and Exchange
    2013. On Exchange 2010 DAG there is a URL using is owa.domain.com and I also configured in Exchange 2013 all the virtual directories with this name owa.domain.com but having an issue that when I open explorer and use the owa.domain.com URL the user on Exchange
    2013 gets their mailbox but user on Exchange 2010 gets error HTTP 403 blank page.
    I observed that in Exchange Organization settings CAS settings one server OWA, ECP etc shows their internal external URL but the other server unable to open the OWA, ECP URL and give error message that "An IIS directory entry
    couldn't be created. The error message is Access is denied. HResult = -2147024891"
    Please guide how to resolve this issue and use the same name URL in Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013
    Thanks, 

    Hi,
    See the below brief:
    User will connect to mail.contoso.com as his namespace endpoint. CAS2013 in Site1 will authenticate the user, do a service discovery, and determine that the mailbox version is 2010 and is located within the local AD site. CAS2013 will proxy the
    request to an Exchange 2010 Client Access server which will retrieve the necessary data from the Exchange 2010 Mailbox server
    Go through the full blog for better understanding of the redirection.
    Client Connectivity with Exchange 2013
    Hope you have changed your DNS records to direct connections only to your new Exchange 2013 server. You'll move the host names (for example, mail.contoso.com) users have been using to connect to Outlook Web Access, Autodiscover, and so on, from your
    Exchange 2010 server to your Exchange 2013 server. When an Exchange 2010 user tries to open their mailbox, the Exchange 2013 server will proxy their request and communicate with the Exchange 2010 server on their behalf.
    Configuring DNS includes the following:
    Change the primary host names, such as mail.contoso.com, autodiscover.contoso.com, and owa.contoso.com (if used) to point to the external, publically-accessible, IP address of the Exchange 2013 Client Access server with your public DNS provider.
    Change the primary host names, such as mail.contoso.com (or internal.contoso.com if you're using different internal host names) and owa.contoso.com (if used) to point to the internal machine name of the Exchange 2013 Client Access server on your internal
    DNS servers.
    NOTE- Go through the Exchange Deployemnt Assitant - Configure DNS Records section

  • ICloud , Outlook 2010 and Windows 8 synchronization issues

    Everything was working fine under Windows 7.  Outlook 2010 and IPad Contacts and Calendar were syncing perfectly.  Once Windows 8 was installed problems arose.  If I entered or updated a Contact or Calendar item in Outlook 2010 it synced perfectly with iCloud and the IPad.  However, if I entered data for a Contact or Calendar item on the IPad, it found its way to iCloud but did not update the item on Outlook.  I've tried reistalling iCloud software with no success.  Any ideas???

    I have exactly the same problem with Windows 7.  The Sent folder has lots in it on icloud and my other devices, but is empty on the Outlook client on my PC.  The sent folder is a "special" foder for iMap and is permenantly selected for syncing.
    I switched off the iCloud mail in the control panel and then added it again with now luck.
    Did you manage to get it working?

  • Workaround to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio?

    Hello All,
    We use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6.
    Our office will not update to Acrobat X until CS6 becomes available for purchase.
    We run Office 2010 Pro 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
    We need to archive email in a way that can be sorted in a PDF Portfolio by date or attachments to email.
    I wrote VBA code to save email from an entire folder or several selected folders as .HTML files with the same folder structure on disk as was in Outlook. This works for sorting by date of email, but it does not allow for the attachments to stay attached to the email.
    I thought about downgrading Acrobat to 9.0, but I am unsure if this is possible.
    Has anyone found a way to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio which would allow sorting by which email have attachments?
    Thanks,
    edsager
    P.S. A few extra steps would definitely add more benefit than cost.

    To resolve error 0x8004010F , identify the current location of your default Outlook data file, and then create a new Outlook profile.
    Step 1- Locate the default Outlook data file
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    In Control Panel, click Mail.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Show Profiles.
    Select your current Outlook profile, and then click Properties.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Data Files.
    Select the Data Files tab in the Account Settings dialog box, and then note the name and location of the default data file for your profile (a check mark will denote the default data file).
    Click Close.
    Step 2 - Create a new Outlook profile
    Step 3 - Configure your new Outlook profile as the default profile

  • About incompatibility between Solaris 10 and Solaris 8

    Dear all
    I am investigating about incompatibility between Solaris 10 and Solaris 8.
    But I can't find incompatibility information (I can find some compatibility imformation).
    Please tell me about that if you know.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Programs running on Solaris 8 should run on Solaris 10, but programs that run on Solaris 10 won't necessarily run on Solaris 8.
    Solaris is always forward-compatible.

  • Windows 7 (32bit), Outlook 2010, and Tungsten E2 problem

    I have a new machine with Windows 7 (32-bit), Office 2010, and a Tungsten E2.  When I try to HotSync I get a message that says the session completed with errors.  The Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Media all are shown as "synchronized successfully".  The error occurs in the "Backed up some files successfully".  The files that are marked "Failed to backup" are PmTraceDatabase and StatusBarResources. I went online and tried some of the suggestions to correct.
    The MAIN problem is that the desktop (I am syncing to MS Outlook 2010) and the Tungsten will not synchronize.  Appointments I enter in Outlook 2010 don't show up on the handheld and vice versa.  This is even though the log says the sync was successful.   I checked the settings on the HotSync Manager and they are correct.
    Thanks for any help,
    Jann
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    I just experienced the same problem on my Windows 7 64 bit HP computer.  Everything was working great, hotsync worked to get all of my old info from my Z22 to my new E2 through the bluetooth, until yesterday.  I did a hot sync, got the message it was successful, but the data on the handheld did not get onto the desktop, new data from desktop (calendar and contacts) did not get to the device.  Huh?  Don't know how it could be "successful" but not transfer the data.  I was going to get the dbfixit mentioned in other posts, but that program does not seem directed to a problem where the sync is supposedly successful, but really is not because nothing is transferred.  If anyone has any idea how to fix this new glitch, PLEASE HELP!

  • Is it possible to sync with both my win 7 computer (Outlook 2010), and with iCloud, without duplicating contacts and appointments? thanks.

    Is it possible to sync with both my win 7 computer (Outlook 2010), and with iCloud, without duplicating contacts and appointments? thanks.

    Hey keiichi-san,
    Yes, It is possible. You can merge contacts, calendars, and bookmarks between multiple computers.
    When you sync the contacts and calendars to your iPhone from the new computer you'll see the option to Merge or Replace, just choose Merge.
    These articles provide more information on syncing options:

    Hello All,
    I have created a new iCloud email (@me.com) and I want to know how I can use it NOT only on my iPhone and iPad but also on my outlook 2010 and on my Gmail account.
    I use Outlook 2010 in my office and home, I use Gmail when I am on the go. My Gmail is also configured in my Outlook so basically I have all my accounts on Gmail and I just use Outlook's interface.
    I want my iCloud to be on it as well. Obviously I want it to be and IMAP type of configuration so I can see all the emails on my iPhone, iPad, Outlook 2010 and Gmail!!!!
    Can you please tell me where I can find relevant information on those configuration?
    Thank you,
