No option when opening a pdf from an email attachment

I recently had trouble opening a pdf file that was attached to an email, and while mucking around with it, I tried opening it up in Word (which didn't help that particular problem anyway).  Unfortunately, now, all my emailed pdf files open up automatically in Word rather than Acrobat Reader.
So now my question is, how do I get them to automatically open in Acrobat reader directly from the emailed attachment instead of Word? At the moment I have to save them all to my c: drive, then right click on them and select Open With Acrobat Reader 10.  What I want is for them to automatically open in Acrobat Reader 10 rather than having to save them all to my c: drive first because I have many, many of them to print out.  Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi,
Can you try saving any PDF onto your local machine (say C:\) and then right click on the same.
1. Click on the "Open With > Chose Program".
2. Select Adobe Reader 10 and make sure that you check the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK and you should be good to go.
Hope this does the trick

  • When I open a PDF from an email Time Machine starts

    Everytime I open a PDF from an email Time Machine starts & freezes my 4k iMac for about 30 seconds, it's annoying.

  • Random IE7 freeze when opening a PDF from Acrobat 9.1 Pro

    We are having problems specifically with a PC with viewing PDF files in IE 7.0.  Now when viewing PDF files
    on our special inhouse loan funding site, the browser will freeze and eventually an error message will come up "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close".
    What I tried so far...
    -Ran the Adobe update , it installed Acrobat Professional 9.1.1
    -Did the Reset under the Advanced tab in Internet Properties.
    -Re-enabled the adobe related IE plugins.
    -Deleted everything from the users %temp% file.
    -Rebooted PC
    I've asked our web application vendor if we could use a much better browser such as Firefox, Chrome, or even try IE8, but they said that it's not supported.
    The error shown in the application event log is:

    Ok, well this is an specialized web based application.  I tried opening the PDF's in a new window on my Windows 7 PC and I got them to open without the infinite loop like on a Windows XP machine.
    Because that causes an infinite loop on Windows XP, we need the PDF to display in browser, which causes a conflict sometimes between IE and Adobe dll files.
    So I've checked out a file that doesn't normally crash the IE/Acrobat9.4 user and checked the properties.
    Application: LiquidOffice Form Designer
    PDF Producer: DocuCom PDF Core Library
    PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
    File Size: 253.77 KB
    Now here's the properties of a PDF that intermittently crashes IE:
    Application: Acrobat PDFMaker 8.1 for Word
    PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 (Windows)
    PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
    File Size: 272.14 KB
    Remember I said intermittently.  That's what's real difficult about the problem.  That same file might open 10 consecutive times before crashing.  OR it might crash on the first try.  When things aren't consistently broken it's very hard to troubleshoot the issue since there is no concrete evidence of a single underlying cause.  If it crashed every single time on that file, maybe we would say that its a corrupt file or there's an issue with the program that produced it.  That's not the case here.
    Good idea as to looking at the version.  We could change the versions but we would need to open a request with the application developer, and updates to some of these forms takes weeks for them to integrate.

  • How to avoid safety warning when opening a pdf from an link in another pdf?

    I make pdf in Acrobat with links to other pdf files av have made. When i try to click a link to open the pdf, i get the safety question if trust it or if i will block it. How to avoid that question all the time?

    Hello Kvalitetetsansvarlig
    Try adding the PDF to the trust location in Acrobat
    Edit -> Preferences-> Security (Enhanced), Click on "Add File", and browse to your file.
    Click on "OK" button and check.

  • Why isn't an option to open Pages available with rtf email attachment?

    I was able to open an email attachment in Pages on my iPad2 before, but the option has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    Pages doesn't support RTF, so it won't appear as an option when you try and open the attachment. The file formats that Pages for iOS supports can be found here:

  • When opening a pdf in gw2012 client, no associated program

    Win7prosp1, when trying to open a pdf from an email (double click), I get this message, This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel. If I right click on the file and choose open with, it opens fine in adobe. I then log into the same machine with a different user, open an email, double click the pdf and it opens fine. The association is correct under associate a file type. This issue seems to be related to the user on t he machine. Have removed and reinstalled both Adobe and gwclient.
    Has anyone run into this before?
    Thanks in advance

    This, and countless similar issues all revolving around file types and
    windows... Your best bet is to grab something like process monitor from
    sysinternals and check where exactly in the registry windows is looking
    for the association. Or, of course, the pragmatic approach to just
    create a new profile for this user.

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

    hello,
    When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
    Can you help please?
    Kind regards,

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?

  • When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • When opening a pdf in Firefox from a website, the navigation bar disappears. I would like to copy the URL path to send to staff.

    Using Acrobat Pro XI, Windows 7-64, Firefox 25. If I open a PDF from a website link in IE, the PDF opens and I can see the URL path where I can copy it and send to others. Opening the same link in Firefox does not show the URL path. I get the File, Edit menu but no URL.

    Is the PDF opening in a separate (popup) window? Sites can alter which bars appear on a popup window, but the address bar should always be visible (that's the default setting). Could you check and make sure that hasn't changed?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''window_o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If the '''dom.disable_window_open_feature.<u>location</u>''' preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch it back to true so sites are disabled from hiding the location (address) bar on popup windows.

  • I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

    I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

    core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
    my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
    as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
    if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

  • No Email Client Associated Error When Opening a PDF

    I get an Adobe Reader XI error dialogue when I open any PDF; it says "Email: There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
    What does Adobe have to do with my email client?
    How can this annoying error dialogue be fixed?
    I am using a Windows 7 Professional OS
    This did not happen with Adobe Reader X

    Doing some additional research on this I found that the message can occur from different programs: Word, Excel, ..., but all point to an Outlook configuration problem.
