Opening PDF files in Mail?

Hi, I am experiencing a new problem with the new iOS 7. I can no longer open pdf attachments in other apps. The mail downloads the pdf file and displays only the first page, my only option is to copy or save image. What is the solution to this problem?
Thanks

Also having this issue and it's a bit of a headache especially when removing Acrobat reader is not an option, i prefer to actually have my PDF files open from Mail in Acrobat Professional (not reader). Tried re-installing, no dice.

hhas anyone had a problem opening PDF files in mail. I get a grey screen

Try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check again.

Mountain Lion not opening pdf files in Mail

Since installing ML I cannot open pdf files in Mail. I have updated Adobe Reader to the latest version, but no joy. I desperately need to open these files. Should I just give up and forward them to my wheezy old Sony running Windows XP?

IPRINT 3.0 does not open PDF files from mail apps

I have just installed iPRINT. It finds the printer with no problem (C6180) and I can also load files from the computer to the iPAD on which it is installed. The problem comes when trying to open PDFs from the mail program. There is an option to select open with iPRINT, I do so, and the program opens but the document does not appear. Only the home page of iPRINT. It worked once or twice when I first installed it, but only after screwing around with it.
Can anyone help? It is on an iPAD 1 with iOS 4.3
Thanks.

Error in opening pdf file from mail attachment sent thru MII

Hi,
I am using MII 12.1.4 build(36).
I have created a pdf file from BLS using PDF actions block and saving the file in web location as mentioned below:
WEB://<ProjectFolder>/<subfolder>/Report.pdf
I'm using the same file as attachment in my m a i l action block with attachment content type "application/pdf" and AttachmentContent "ImageSaver.EncodedImage" or "PDFDoc.Output".
When i check the mail,i can see the attachment with some size of 8kb,but when I open the file i will get below error:
"Adobe Reader could not open Report.pdf because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example,it was sent as an m a i l attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
If I try to open the same file by exporting fit to my desktop,it opened properly.
Anything I'm missing here?
Thanks in Advane,
Suresh

Hi,
According to below mentioned thread,this problem is fixed in 12.1.5 and above.
Re: Attachment Content When sending PDF attachment in Send Mail Step
Then I deployed the new patch ie SP07.
Here there is one problem,ie in Menu page I can see the 12.1.7(Build40),when I open the workbech,it shows the previous patch 12.1.4(Build 36).Why is it so?
All of my transactions running fine except the one which I have mentioned in my previous post.
When I run the transaction mentioned in my previous post,it threw an excption for PDF Table Action block and the error mentioned below:
[ERROR] Error found trying to execute action 'PDF_Table_0' Exception: [null]
[ERROR] [PDF_Table_0] Action: Runtime threw an exception. Exception: [java.lang.StackOverflowError]
When I can check the m a i l, I'm able to open the attached PDF file without error but without data.Is it because of the above mentioned error?
Plz help me.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

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.

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

Single page PDF file in mail always appears in message body, instead of as an attachment, contrary to a multiple page PDF. Why?

When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?

Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

PDF files in Mail

For a while now I have been having trouble with pdf files in Mail. Sometimes I cannot even open them as they appear as a little black dot. The trouble came to a head recently when one of the pdf files I work with for some reason opened up without one of the pages it should have had. This file opens fine on the other iMac we have that is running Tiger and when that iMac saves the file then I can open it just fine as well. But when I save it the page is missing on both mine and the other. Please help... my job is at stake! And I am not exaggerating

What kind of computer and email program is sending it to you? If these are multi-page PDFs, they could show up in the body of the message, rather than as a separate attachment. If they do, you should be able to simply drag the file from the body onto your Desktop, and then you can open it with Preview or Acrobat Reader.
Are you able to do this, and what happens when you drag the PDF into an open Safari window?

Can't view PDF files in Mail

After the 10.5 upgrade I can no longer view PDFs in Mail. Not sure if this is also due to the install of Adobe CS3, however now PDFs just show as a "mime-attachment" which do not display in any other app. Other 10.5.1 users can view these email attachments just fine.
Is there a way to re-enable PDF files in Mail.app, so that mails with PDF files are displaying within mail.app correctly?

Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

I'm using iphone 4S, and I can not open PDF file only from my husband email that using Mic outlook. It was very weird because I can received other email with pdf file from other people. can someone help.

Thanks in advance

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.

Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9. I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window. It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file. I have Windows XP. I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9. I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail. Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out. I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage. Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
Thanks to al that responded.

open dataset wa for input in binary mode.
if sy-subrc eq 0.

    read dataset wa into gs_table LENGTH alen.
    ctr = ctr + alen.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
      exit.
    endif.
    append gs_table to gt_table.

Hi,
I find the way to resolve this topic, thanking a collegue.
The problem is the way that I use to read the file.
If I read the file in the following way, the problem concerning the size are bypassing.
DATA : gs_table LIKE LINE OF gt_table.
DATA: l_xstring TYPE xstring.
DATA : alen TYPE i.
OPEN DATASET p_p_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
   DO.
    READ DATASET p_p_file INTO l_xstring.
     p_bin_filesize = p_bin_filesize + alen.
     IF sy-subrc NE 0.
       EXIT.
     ENDIF.
     APPEND gs_table TO gt_table.
   ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET p_p_file.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        buffer                = l_xstring
    APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
     IMPORTING
       output_length         = p_bin_filesize
      TABLES
        binary_tab            = gt_table .
thanks a lot
