Opening a PDF newsletter contained in an email

When I get a financial email, it provides 2 links; for an online HTML version, or a PDF for a printable one.
When I select the PDF llink, the page flashes black and then shows the newsletter (Perhaps 8 pages or more). However when i use the print command it reverts to a 2 page document that is completely black on page 1 and top of page 2.
This has not happened until a couple of weeks ago. I had updagted Reader. Tried to use an older version subsequently with the same result.
I am using an iMac with Lion OS10.7.4, and Reader 10.1.4. Also an HP C7280 printer.
Any help appreciated

The Reader Plug-in For Safari doesn't work. If this is happening within Safari then the Apple PDF technology is at fault. Try downloading the pdf file to your desktop and directly opening the PDF in Reader. Are you seeing the same thing?

  • How to open a pdf attachment from a pc  email

    recieved email from a pc customer with a pdf atatchment  how do i open this ?
    ( new mac user )

    You have lots of options but my typical method is to select the PDF's icon in the email message and then right click (Control Click also works). This brings up a contextual menu that lets you choose whether to open it or save it. You can also drag the PDF's icon from Mail to the desktop or a folder and double click it.

  • Newbie - How can I know when someone opens a PDF I sent in an email?

    I'm trying to get a simple proof of receipt when someone opens a PDF attached to an email.  Any suggestions about how to do this? 

    Thanks try67.  Consider this:  I'm not trying to silently trick the receiver, either.  I intend to explain to them up front that when they open the attached PDF, it will provide a signal that is the proof they have been notified.  It's also okay if this isn't easy; I have IT people that can do it.

  • Clients get corrupted PDF documents (containing forms) in emails?

    Hello,
    This isn't an Adobe issue per se, but many Adobe users have probably come across this IT issue:
    When you drag certain kinds of PDF files to Outlook as attachments to send to a client or others, they often cannot open the PDF files because they're corrupted." This happened only with a PDF FORM that we produced, but non-form PDF files seemed to work fine.
    After some testing, I found that it occurs when people are downloading the attachments from an online mail interface (e.g., gmail, yahoo mail, etc.)-- if they are using Outlook, the form-PDF's come across fine. If I enclose the form-PDF files in a zip file, then they come out fine too (in all cases).
    So, is there a "magic" way to set-up Outlook so that the raw form-PDF attachments don't become corrupted when the client's try to download them?
    thanks!

    Well, I can't check Outlook on this machine as I can't find it. I might check another machine later. Anyway, most mail packages have an option to view the raw message, not the formated one that you normally see. The raw message form has the routing header of where the e-mail traveled on the way to you and information on the type of content, that is often in a multi-part form. Part may be ASCII (generally 7-bit data) and other Base64 (binary) and such. This information is used by your mail client to display it the way you see it. In old style e-mail you only saw the raw form and had to wade though all of the extra stuff. However, that stuff can be helpful when problems crop up and that is what I was suggesting.
    Outlook may be one of those clients that assumes you would get no value from the raw form and hides the selection, I really do not know. The raw form is the data is it is sent to you, not as you see it. My package has the option on a tab and it is easy to view.
    In any case, your problem is likely a client encoding issue. PDFs have long had problems with mail clients as a result. Zip files are an alternative, but as suggested many companies and agencies no longer allow zip files and will strip them off of any e-mail.

  • Opening a pdf file from an old email attachment

    Hi.
    I am hoping someone can help with this odd issue.  I received some pdf attachments in an email and after 6 months, the emails at work will be archived.  This gives the pdf files names like:
    accountsheet.pdf.pdf or accountsheet.pdf.efa.
    The person sending me the email with these files does not have a problem opening them but I can't open them.  I get the error message below and wonder if there is a way I can fix the decoding problem if that is the issue.  Any help would be extremely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    J

    Hi Jeff,
    I'd like to help!
    First step you should save it out of the email to your desktop. Do not try to open it directly.
    Make sure you don't have two (periods > accountsheet.pdf.pdf)...
    Then try opening it with the new file name (accountsheet.pdf).
    Let me know if this helps!
    Regards, Stacy

  • How do I open a pdf sent to me in email in iBooks

    I received a link to a PDF document in an e-mail. It gose to trm.brassring.com. When I see it on the scrren, at the very top of the page it flashe  open in i-books, very quickly and then hide. I touch that part of the scrren again, quickly and touch open in i-books. Nothing happens. What do I need to do?

    Considering this is a web site and that safari doesn't download things except for photos at most, you need to use another web browser.  I recommend iCab.  It's a paid browser,  but it has a wide variety of features.
    iCab
    Cab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS.  Supports FILE UPLOADS, SEARCHING, FILLING OUT FORMS, FILTER, TABS, BOOKMARKS, FULLSCREEN MODE, DOWNLOADS, MULTIUSER SUPPORT,DROPBOX, and Kiosk Mode.

    See this thread.

    email the file to some email you have like gmail. Use icab to access your email on  the web.  download.  upload to site.

  • I can open a pdf from email on a laptop, not on the desktop. The desktop tells me invalid file format. I have went through the list from support.

    Had a virus on the desktop, then had a reformat, now I can not open adobe pdf in firefox from yahoo email. I have reinstalled Acrobat reader, same problem.I can open it in internet explorer. I can open it on the laptop.

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • The latest update has made it impossible to open a pdf file -- old ones as well as new ones.  I've tried all the troubleshooting crap to no avail.  Suggestions?

    I can't open ANY pdf file attachments on my email since the latest download.  Even those on older saved emails.  I have done the troubleshooting suggestions.  What now?

    We need details such as what version of Reader you have, what email client, are these links to a pdf from your email or are they attached pdf documents, what troubleshooting suggestions did you try (there could be many you missed)...etc.
    The more info you give the better for us.

  • Reader X Unable to Open certain PDFs

    Ok so heres there issue..
    A client of my company is unable to open what seems to be random PDF files which are sent to them, after doing some testing I found a very strange bug.
    While running Windows XP - I am able to open any PDF file from an outlook email attachment so long as it is stored in memory (select the open option instead of save as).  This works with Reader X, Reader 9.x, and Acrobat Pro.
    While running Windows XP - After saving any PDF document to my hard drive from an outlook email attachment I am unable to open the PDF file using Reader X.  Reader 9.x and Acrobat Pro both open the files without a problem.
    This poses a major issue because we cannot control what version of Reader our clients use and if they are unable to open PDF documents that are saved to their hard drives from emails using Reader X what do you suggest we do?
    Note: I don't believe this is related to the known Reader X issue where people cannot open PDFs from a web page.
    Any help or troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

  • PLEASE HELP. Cannot open a PDF document via a link in an email. I am using Mac 10.7.5 and Firefox.

    If I receive a PDF document attached to an email by way of an icon, I can double click on the PDF icon and the document opens. HOWEVER, if I receive a link to a PDF document in an email, and I click on the link which leads me to a webpage with another link to a PDF document, when I click on the document, a new web page opens but NOTHING happens - no download box - just nothing.
    Please help. This is so frustrating.
    Yes, I can right click and 'Save As' - but I don't want to. I want it to open as it used to open - displaying the open PDF document in a new web page.
    Then I tried to click on a download button on a website to retrieve my statement - but again, a new web page would open but it would be BLANK. No sign of any download.
    When I used to open PDFs on a webpage, I used to get the Download box which asked if I want to OPEN or SAVE. This doesn't appear any more.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I have already gone to HD / Internet Plug-ins and deleted the two Adobe PDF plug ins - but this hasn't fixed my problem.

    Click on the below link :

    Step 2 : Safari and FIrefox

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

  • Just installed Acrobat 9 and it won't open .pdf files I receive in emails

    Just installed the newest version of Adobe CS4 Design Premium, and have a problem with Acrobat 9 Pro. Using Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  My problem is that with the last 4 emails I've received which have attached PDF files, I'm unable to open those files (using Eudora 7.1 email client).  Acrobat gives the the error message:  "There was an error opening this document.  The file cannot be found."  When I forward these emails to my other computer which is running Acrobat 7 Standard, the attachments open fine.  To further the puzzle, I tried to open older emails which have PDF attachments (which I opened a while ago) and they open fine in Acrobat 9.  Any ideas?  Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I found that I can right-click on the attachment and "save attachment as..." to the desktop, and then it will open from there with no problem.  Good work-around so that at least I have access to important attachments.  But, it should open when I click on it inside the email, like it has with Acrobat 7 ever since I've owned it.  Must have something to do with the interaction between AA9 and Eudora (a legendary but OLD email client). The attachments do, in fact, appear to be PDF files, so I can rule that one out.

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

  • How do I open a PDF attachment from an email so I can edit it for reply on an iPad?

    I need to open a PDF attachment on an email, edit it and resend it back to the originator on an iPad. Help?

    A PDF is a graphics document, so you can't edit it without access to an expensive program like Adobe Acrobat.
