Opening PDF Newsletter in Outlook

Our company has a newsletter that is sent to us in PDF form
from another company. It has not only text but images. We would
like to be able to send it company wide whereas users can open the
email, and the newsletter is there ready to read without having to
open a link. Right now we send it to a company who charges us
$350.00 each time to take it apart and put it together as an email.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this myself? Or,
is there a way to have the PDF to automatically open when the user
opens the email from me?
Thanks. Doris

The can only open it on their machine if they save the pdf attachment after renaming it. All computers on the network have the latest Outlook 2003 updates, so it puzzles me that only three end users with the same version of Outlook 2003, with the same updates, are not able to view the attachment from Outlook, but the other users can. Also, why do those three end users have to rename the file if the save it to the their computer to be able to view it, but no one else has to. And, it is not every pdf attachment either, just some from certain people that send them an e-mail. Really puzzling issue that I need to get resolved...

Not able to open pdf files in outlook

All the PDF attachment files are opening in word from outlook 2010. Not able to open as PDF. How to fix this problem?

Moving this to Adobe Reader forum, as I believe you're describing a Reader issue (not a FormsCentral issue).

Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

Hi!
Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

Did you try this? It worked for me.

Error message when opening pdf attachment in Outlook 2003

I have several computers in my network running different version of Adobe Acrobat...Adobe 6.0 standard, Adobe 7.0 standard, Adobe 8.0 standard and pro, and Adobe 9.0 standard and pro. The problem I am having with a few of my end users is that when they receive an e-mail in Outlook 2003 with a pdf attachment from certain companies that we deal with in the insurance industry, they receive an error message saying they can not open the file...
"Can't create file:XXXXXXXX.pdf. Right click on the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check permission for the folder."
The strange part about this is they can forward the e-mail to another end user that may or may not be using the same version of Adobe as them, but the other end user has no problem opening and viewing the pdf attachment (also, if the company sending the e-mail sends the same e-mail to another end user who has no issues, they can open it with just fine) Now here is where it gets really strange... if the end user that can view the file saves the file to their hard drive, then sends it back as the same attachment in an e-mail back to the end user that could not open the file originally, now that end user can open and view the pdf attachment. I have three end users that this affecting and they each have a different version of Adobe Acrobat with all of the latest updates. I am stumped and searches so far have revealed no solutions...
Any ideas?

Opening PDF-files in Outlook 2007 takes more than 30 seconds.

Some of our users get multiple PDF-files as attachments in their Outlook 2007 mailbox. (In Citrix)
They have to read and print multiple PDF-files per day,
It takes them at least 30 seconds before the attachement opens, then another 30 seconds before the printoptions appears, and then another 30 seconds to give the actual printorder.
If yoy have to process 50-100 of those per day it is very annoying.
Does anywhone have a solution for this?
We work with Acrobat 10 and 11

Just for the heck of it, I renamed a FDF file to a PDF file and tried to open it, no go. I was able to import a FDF to the original PDF. The install option is a bit of an issue and I am not sure what to say to that. It may be looking for the PDF file on the hard drive and not actually be trying to install Acrobat. I opened a FDF in the same folder as the PDF and it opened right up. Otherwise, I think the location of the PDF has to be encoded in the FDF file. The form name is typically at the end of the FDF file (OPEN in notepad or such to look at the details of the FDF). You will not that it does not start as %PDF, but %FDF.
As I mentioned, Acrobat is likely looking for the original document listed at the end of the FDF file.

Opening Pdf Attachments From outlook 2010

Good day I'm having problems with a user where he has to click a pdf attachement multiple times before it will open and the adobe proccess stays open after the document is closed so after a while there are like 20 adobe processes open.
Please advise on a solution as this is extreamly urgent.
The user uses Office 2010 and windows 7 64bit
Thanks

Hi Michael
The thing is the first time you double click the attachment nothing happens the second it will open and even after closing adobe reader the process will stay open and does not close so after a while it keeps getting slower and slower.
I have tried reinstalling Adobe multiple times does not help i have also disabled the start-up screen via the registry setting still the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the help

Unable to open PDFs in received e-mail (Outlook)?

Unable to open PDFs received in Outlook (Office for Mac 2011). Adobe XI message displayed says "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Same PDFs attached to same mail messages open fine on iPad or iPhone. What could be the problem?

ivone dos santos,
Do you see a message like this when you open one of your PDF documents?
Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form". The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
As far as I know, no PDF viewers for iOS and Android mobile devices support dynamic XFA forms. Here are the examples of the iOS apps that do not support dynamic XFA forms.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Mail
Safari
iBooks
The PDF preview feature in Dropbox and other apps
The message is trying to tell you to use the latest desktop version of Adobe Reader, not the mobile version of Adobe Reader. I agree that the sentence, "You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader...", is somewhat misleading. The message is baked into the dynamic XFA form that was authored by Adobe LiveCycle (desktop app) without regard for non-desktop apps (i.e. mobile apps). Upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for iOS would not help in this case.
Currently, the only option to view and fill out dynamic XFA forms is to use the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Sorry for the confusion.

Can Not Open PDF Attachments

I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8 and using Adobe version 11.0.2 If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
Thanks in advance for yor help.
the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.

Adobe reader 10.1.2 crashes when opening pdf

I have a user with windows XP pro , Just recently she tries to open pdf's in outlook 2003 and it crashes. Did an uninstall of reader and re-installed and it worked fine for a couple days the it crashed again. I again un-installed and re-installed and that didn't work. When it does the error reporting it comes up with the windows error that there is a newer version and to go to the adobe web site to down load it. I have the newest vesion installed. Wonder if installing older version would work.
Thanks
Joel

I am also experiencing the same problem using Outlook 6. I have also un-installed and re-installed adobe reader, which worked for a day but now it keeps hanging after about 10 seconds.
This problem has only occurred since March 2012. Any help or solutions would be welcome.
Cheers

Save As Dialog Not Showing when opening pdf from Outlook 2010

Hi
I have recently had to change the default documents folder on a windows 7 machine (Right Click Documents, properties, include folder, set save location). Since this change, when opening an attached pdf document in outlook 2010 and viewing with adobe reader, if i click Save as from the file menu, no os dialog appears and therefore user cannot choose a place to save the document.
As a work around the user can right click the attachment save the docment to a location, once opened, ther save as dialog is usable.
I have uninstalled and re-installed reader to the laterst version, but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Jason Congerton

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:
