Opening pdf files in emails

When I open email pdf attachments in yahoo, those pdf's only open in the basic reader.   they use to open in the Adobe X verison and I could make changes/save /sign and send the documents.   Why can't I open in X now?  Is there something I need to change in Google Chrome so that my pdf's open with the Adobe X?

Google Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites. I have the new Reader.

    I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites, as I was able to a couple of weeks ago. On websites I get the message, "Adobe Acrobat has crashed". I downloaded the new Adobe Reader and that didn't help. I don't have Adobe Acrobat, on Adobe Reader.

    Windows 7, Google Chrome and the most recent Adobe Reader (just downloaded the same day). The problem is with Google Chrome, as Fire Fox works fine. I tried enabling and disabling what would read pdf files in Chrome plugins and found that the only thing that worked was to disable adobe reader and enable chrome reader, which is the opposite of what was reccomended in answer to other adobe forum questions that were similar to mine.

  • Can't open PDF file as email attachment

    I have windows xp with adobe reader 8. When I try to open a pdf attachment file in my email it wants to go to my browser and won't open. Just get a warning messege. I want it to open in adobe reader. I can save it and then open it from my documents given on option when I right click. I do not get any options when I right click while it is still attached to the email. It started when I screwed up opening another pdf file in my email. An option box poped up with a chice between adobe or browser. I picked browser and then clicked the apply button. I have not been able to undo it. I can't find that option.

    I tried that.
    I saved the file 8pdk_96_4.pdf to my desktop and tried to open it using Adobe Reader but I get the same message: Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

  • Mail app doesnt open pdf files (iPhone5 & ios 7.0.4)

    Hello,
    our CEO can´t open pdf files from email attachments on his iPhone 5 on ios 7.0.4.
    Normal behaviour:
    Usually the mail app opens the pdf from the email and you can scroll through the pages and everything is okay.
    Error description:
    But in our case when tipping on the pdf icon at the bottom of an email, the mail app just jumps to the top of the email and nothing else happens.
    After doing this two or three times,  the icon changes to a picture showing  the first page of the file. Tipping on the picture opens the known "save picture" menu.
    Solutions I tried:
    - Holding the thumb on the pdf icon does nothing.
    - After forwarding the email to another ios device (verified with iPhone and iPad) the pdf file can be viewed without problems.
    - Restart (holding top and home button)
    - I read in a community that the app "Stanza" can cause the problem. Check: It has never been installed on the device.
    Solutions I didn´t try:
    - Recovery from an iTunes backup. (As i read, this doesn´t solve the problem.)
    - Recovery without an iTunes backup. (As i read, this will solve the problem (-no surprise). But this is no valid solution for our CEO.)
    Question:
    Does anybody know the problem and a constructive solution? Thank you very much!
    Best regards
    Mr Flame

    Thanks for the answer.
    The error is occuring with every pdf file attached to an email.
    I know, you don´t need 3rd party software. That´s why I posted this as a problem to the community.

  • Can't open pdf files from web pages

    I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1. Now I cannot open pdf files from email attachments. Advises to set Adobe Reader as default in folder options. When I try to do so, it appears to be OK, but still will not open files from emails.

    Did you check the settings of your mail client for handling attachments?

    I have a similar problem when trying to e-mail from a pdf program.  For one thing, I cannot save anything on it and then when I tried to send it (with filled in forms), it arrives blank. 

  • Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    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.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    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.

  • Cannot open pdf files using optonline email

    PDF attachments to optonline emails do not open. It was possible at one time to open PDF files by right double clicking the file bar and selecting "reload page" but that no longer works.

    Hi FRANKIMOSSI,
    Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? I'd take a look at [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is a lot of information in there and it lists a couple of different PDF add-ons. I'd try both to see if it is localized to just one.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
