Opening PDF attached files to gmails
I have an N95 phone and I would like to know how to open/view/save etc.PDF files being attached to some of my e-mails received received in my GMAIL services.Thanks in advance for a prompt reply.Paul
Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch does not display attachment in email - Apple Support

How To Open PDF Attached file use CLIENT_HOST 11 g forms
How to open pdf file on client side at 11 g forms ?
when i open any attached (PDF )file on client side is not open those file open on server side plz guide me how to open those file on client machine using client host?
thanksWhere is the pdf you are trying to open? Is it on the server or the client? If the file is stored on the server then you can access it using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT assuming it is stored in a place that has a virtual mapping. For example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/someLocation/file.pdf','_blank');If the file is on the client then you need to configure your application to use WebUtil. Then you can do what Francois suggested. -
I cannot attach files in Gmail within Firefox. I can attach files in Gmail from Chrome and IE.
I know it has been mentioned elsewhere too ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999383 ), but I cannot reply to that message... so, here it is again, with full details of the testing we have performed so far....
ALL users or our organization are currently affected.
When you try to attached a doc, xls, pdf, etc. in Gmail the results are all the same in Firefox. You get a red bar with "attachment failed" and an option to cancel or retry.
We have tested with our Proxy On and Off. We have tested with no extensions loaded (I get the message with my 3 extensions on or off -- Adblock+, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere). Versions on which the issue has been seen include 25, 26, 28, 28.0.1 and 29.0.1 (the latest as of this post). Most users in our organization do not use extensions with Firefox.
Attachments link up just fine in IE 10 and 11, and Chrome (with Adblock, Ghostery, and HTTPS Everywhere turned on). This error is only seen in Firefox, with or without plug-ins.
Operating Systems used for testing were Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
The issue was first reported to us today, 5/13/14, but it is unknown if the issue has been around longer. However, Firefox is our organization's default browser due to countless web software vendor recommendations. We most likely would have heard before today if the issue has happened previously.
Any tips or suggestions would be welcome here.Without trying any of the fixes, the issue seems to have gone away on its own. All users (of about 7 reporting in) can attach files within Gmail using Firefox as of 5/15. We did not try any of the 4 fixes listed above. On 5/13 and 5/14, users could not attach files to Gmail messages within Firefox.
However, on the day of the issue we did try all the mentioned fixes (except #4). All affected users had all history and cache wiped, updated to v29.0.1, and the latest Flash plug-in from Adobe.com. We have the browsers set to clear all history, temp files, cookies, etc. at exit to avoid any cached data issues. We tried with proxy on and off too. Attachments were in the 20K-35K range, so very small. They failed on 5/13 and 5/14 within Firefox, but attached fine in IE and Chrome on the same days.
So, not sure what the issue was, what caused, or why it went away... but we cannot reproduce today, as of 5/15.
Thanks for the tips. I'll bookmark them if the issue reappears. -

Your help will be appreciatedHi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time -
Acrobat Reader DC one source of pdf attached files
I have a MacBook Pro and found that since updating to Acrobat Reader DC there is one source of pdf attached files that do not open (I just get a black screen).
I do not have this problem with my iPad nor with an iMac also running the same reader.
I cannot find any 'switches' that will resolve this problem. I get an error message saying that Acrobat Reader DC could not open "File reference" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. This cannot be the case as this file opens on other computers so it has to be localised to my MacBook Pro. Other pdf files open normally and I am at a lost in deciding as to what is going wrong and how to rectify.If the same attachment can be viewed successfully on other devices, then it must get corrupted during the download on that one machine.
People should really stop sending e-documents as attachments, it is much safer using a file sharing service such as Acrobat.com - upload and share the document, then send the download link via email. -

'Failed to create object' when trying to open PDF attachment in Dynamics GP 10 OLE notes
Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 users who updated to Adobe Reader X are getting errors when trying to open or create an OLE attachment on a note.
They get 'Failed to create object' when trying to open an existing and getting 'Failed to connect.
And " Link may be broken" when trying to create a new one.
PDF attachments work pretty fine with previous version of Acrobat reader 7,8,9 up tp 9.4
Now that we install Acrobat X, something has changed.
It only does this for PDF attachments, Other file types work fine.
I was able to remove Adobe Reader X and install a prior version to work around the issue.
Has Adobe developed any Fix for the integration of X and OLE objects.
regards,Hi Gestis,
What version of Adobe Reader are you using?
If its less that 10.1.2, please update it to 10.1.2 and then try to open PDF attachment inDynamcs GP OLE notes. -
Hi!
How do I create a link to open an attached file?
I have a PDF with the text "click here to open the attached file".
If necessary, you can download the file here. The password is 1234.Help me, George.
I read but I don't know how to do it.
I tried this:
var d = this.dataObjects;
if ( d == null ) console.println("No file attachments");
else {
for ( var i = d.length - 1; i>=0; i--)
if ( d[i].test.pdf.indexOf("Untitled Object") != -1 ) break;
if ( i != -1 ) this.exportDataObject(d[i].test.pdf);
else console.println("No attachment was embedded by UI");
where test.pdf is the name of the attached I want to open. I did't work.
What am I doing wrong? -
Everytime I want to open an attached file on my yahoo email, I now have to clear all the history including: Browsing and download history, Form and search history, cookies, and cache before I can open attachments on my yahoo mail and then I have to re-enter all my passwords, etc.
This was previously not a problem opening any attached files like PDF files or document files.
Please help!Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -

Outlook2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Reader 11
Problem statement: Outlook 2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Environment: Windows 8 x64; Office 2013; Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open Outlook 2013
2. Open email message with PDF attachment
3. Open PDF attachment (with Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer)
4. Close Adobe Reader
Results: Original email message with PDF attacment now sits behind the main Outlook window
Expected results: Original email message should be on top of main Outlook window as it was when opening the PDF attachment
Note: Adobe Acrobat Profession performs as expected - the original email is on top of the main Outlook window - This only seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, have you found a work-around?
Thanks,
MikeFrom: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
I had this problem happening in Outlook.
If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
Close down Outlook and re-start it.
Problem solved! Just dont know how or why.

It worked for me with Win 7 and OL 2003. Why? Who cares ... It is working.

Cannot open PDF attachment in webmail sent from Outlook, says I need to save first; how do I save the link?
Looks like another user asked similar question with over 600 views and no replies ... hmmm. When I click on the attachment, it says I must save it to my disk; with one button mouse just click once and save? I've tried dragging and saving the attachment to word doc but opened up with a page of garbled words/symbols,etc. Any ideas are welcome.

After updating Pages to 5.2, all Word export documents are 10 times the size they'd normally be.
