Opened ".pdf.exe" attachment from email

Using win7... received email attachment from inside my company with .pdf.exe suffix. Unfortunately, I opened it. Now all .exe files go to acrobat where error message is displayed that ".exe file cannot be opened". Even 'task manager' and 'regedit' can't open.
Was able to uninstall acrobat (version X) and now laptop back to normal. Tried installing version XI, but same thing happened again.
Pls help

Can't open PDF's attached to emails in Ibooks

I'm trying to open PDF's that are attached to emails in I-Books. sometimes when the attachment downloads in my email and I double click on the PDF attachment, it lets me open it using Ibooks while other times it just automatically opens in the email.
what should I be doing differently?

Both can be opened in iBooks. This is where you should store them if you intend on keeping them (or another PDF reader of your choice).
Depending on how they are created, the email app used to author the email and a number of other factors, some will appear in your email and others will just be attachments. Both can be saved the same way...
There is no double-click on iPad - you tap and hold until you get the Share menu. Tap the app of your choice to open the PDF.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

Hi All,
Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
PDF is already in the folder options
Any ideas?
Toni

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

How to save attachment from email to I pad

How to save attachment from email to I pad

You first need an app on the iPad that supports the attachment type. When you have an app you should then be able to press and hold the attachment and use the 'open in' pop-up to save the attachment to that app.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply , but i cannot set the enabled property of the form as true as we are not using the licensed version of the live cycle designer . But if i try the example step by step then even by setting the enabled property as false , the pdf is generated and sent through the email and when i am trying to do the same thing in one of my applications its not working . The pdf is generated but as soon as i click on the button send mail the above told error is displayed .
There needs to be some other explaination for the error

I had the same problem. My version of RoboHelp is pretty old (x5) and the problem was with pdfs made up in version 9. Some pdfs would open and some would not. It depended on the version used to make the pdf. Got error messages and corrupted file messages.
I solved the problem by using the full version of Acrobat and using the pdf Optimizer to make compatible with version 5( just to make sure).
Another option is to "print" to the pdf printer when the file is open.
Both then can be imported into RoboHelp without a problem
Hope this helps. It ruined many days at work for me while I tried to figure out what on earth I was going to do.

IOS4.0.2 won't open excel attachment from email

I can open the PDF file, but not the excel file. When I click on the .xls attachment from my email, it brought me to the home screen. Does anyone know what I need to setup in order to be able to view the excel file?

Motion can't find a framework it needs in order to launch. That could be because the framework is missing or because permissions are set incorrectly.
To fix this problem, try repairing permissions. If that doesn't work, reinstall Final Cut Studio or copy the file /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Helium.framework/Frameworks/HeliumRender.fram ework/Versions/A/HeliumRender from another computer with the SAME version of Final Cut Studio. Then repair permissions again.

Can I open a multiple page PDF I got from email in the Pages app?

How do I open a multiple page PDF that I copied from email? All I get is the first page...... Sure hope I can open PDF...

I don't use the pages app so I couldn't tell you there, however, Adobe a reader for the iPad has no issues with PDF in email. In fact it has a button that you can use to open it right from Adobe a reader without having to open the mail app to get it. Just a suggestion if you can't figure it out with pages.
