MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.  In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

    Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
    My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
    I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
    Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
    Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?

    It's almost certainly too late.
    The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe.  After a catastrophe, it's too late.

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

    I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
    following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
    '%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
    error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
    Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
    aware of in quite a while.
    Thanks

    I took a closer look at the files it downloaded, opened them with notepad,
    haer is what it says:

  • When I attempt to open a pdf it does not open and then it opens a new tab over and over again, how do I stop this?

    When clicking on a pdf file it does not open and then it opens hundreds of tabs. The only way to stop it is to shut off the computer.

    You probably have an incorrect action type set for pdf files, it will be set to "use Firefox" rather than using a pdf application such as Adobe Reader. For details of how to fix this see the "Change the action for a content type" section of https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

  • PDF files will not open with adobe or another pdf addon; they go immediately to a screen that says 'about:blank.'

    I have tried both Adobe X and pdf download, using Firefox 5. If I click on a pdf, another tab opens and I get a blank screen that says above it 'about:blank.' This happens regardless of if I set things to open to browser or in the pdf viewer itself.

    These are online documents, right?  This message usually means that you are trying to open the doc in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

  • Locked PDF files will not open with user name and password. Help?

    I go to school online and our eBooks are in pdf format. I download them to my MacBook so that I can read them offline. When I download them, they open as they always did but, when I put my username and password in to unlock them, it tells me something about the file is edited and a copy will be saved but, it never opens the file. I have adobe reader on it, I am getting frustrated! I don't want to be logged into class every time I am studying material. Any ideas? Thanks in advance - this is my first Mac so, bare with me

    Not using netwok magic. I shut it down when it comes up.  I have tried using 192.168.1.1 but still will not accept user name and password.  I never changed the factory default and it just continues to ask for the user name and password.  Web utility site will not come up.  I have a wired desktop as my main computer and that is the computer I have been trying to access the utility from. 

  • PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

    I actually have 2 problems.
    1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
    2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
    Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

  • ABAP WebDynpro - ArchiveLink - PDF Error: "File does not start with..."

    Hey community,
    I have a WebDynpro application in which I want to show a Archive document.
    I'm using FM 'ARCHIV_GET_TABLE' and then FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'.
    But I only get the error message: (see also attached)
    File does not open with "%PDF-".
    Local\EWH...
    Attachment two shows, how the data is stored in TOA03.
    Document type is FAX .
    I tried several FM and nothing worked.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Florian

    Hi Florian,
    I don't think you need to use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.
    Just try to make of your binary output table from ARCHIV_GET_TABLE an xstring by concatenating all lines into one xstring.

  • Reader 9 does not open LiveCycle protected PDF's on OSX

    My daughter uses an electronic online learning environment at school. This website contains PDF's that are protected with Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management. But Adobe Reader (latest version 9.3.4) cannot open these PDF's. It shows an error dialog stating that "You can only open this document when connected to the network". As you might have guessed, we are connected to the network already.
    It gets even more interesting when we e-mail the PDF's to other people. These files can be opened under Windows and under Linux with no problems, in IE and FireFox. This even works without logging in to the e-learning website! But although it is possible to open the document on a Mac, which has a size of about 2.9 MB, its contents stays completely blank.
    I tried this on 3 Mac's, from 3 different networks, with all combinations of Safari, Firefox, Preview and Adobe Reader. With and without the OSX firewall enabled, and using both OSX 10.5 and 10.6. I am using the latest versions of all software, all with the default preferences after standard installation.
    I would really like some suggestions on how to solve this. The school cannot help, the e-learning platform company does not want to help because they do not support "individual cases" and the content provider (publisher of the PDF's) does not respond to my questions by e-mail.

    The error message is a bit misleading.
    This is most likely related to the certificate used by the browser to make the the HTTPS connection from the PDF to the Rights Management server.
    You have to make sure the certificate is installed properly in the browser you're using to avoid this error message.
    One way to quickly test is to hit https://<rights_management_servername>:<port> and see if the browser gives  you a prompt to install a certificate. If it does, then install it.
    Close the browser and try to hit that URL again. You want to make sure you can hit https://<rights_management_servername>:<port> without a prompt to install a certificate.
    This is actually what Acrobat/Reader is trying to do. Acrobat uses a browser object and if it can't connect to the the URL without a prompt, it'll throw the error message you're getting.
    I hpoe this helps.

  • .PDF files will not open without saving first

    Since downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on 5/20/14 .pdf files will not open without saving them first. I want .pdf files to open first BEFORE I save them (using Windows 7 and Firefox 30.0)

    Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

  • When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?

    After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

    Control mouse click the document and select View as icon.
