Opening pdf's in MAIL - ios 8.3.1

I have recently updated to ios 8.3.1 and notice that now any pdf's I receive in MAIL are automatically opened as Images rather than pdf's which in the past I have been able to open with iBooks and save in necessary. Any Ideas how to correct?

Hi Gerard
You'll need to use at least Adobe Reader 8.1 with Safari 3, otherwise, Safari crashes. To install Reader 8.1.3, go here. At the site, click on the drop down selection menu and choose "Power PC 10.4.3 - 10.4.10". Otherwise, Adobe points you to Reader 9 instead of 8.
Before installing Reader 8, go to your HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder and move to the trash the existing Adobe PDF plug-in. This way, you're ensured of a clean install of version 8.
After the install, and prior to opening Safari, I suggest you go to your Applications>Utilities folder, open Disk Utility, highlight your HD and select "repair permissions".
Post back and let us know if that stops the crashes.

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.

Uninstall NWBC , go to REGEDIT --> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Expand SOFTWARE node --> Locate SAP -- Delete the Folder NWBC.
And
2). Expand HKEY_LOCAL_USER --> SOFTWARE -> SAP --> NWBC - Delete.
Restart the system and try to install NWBC again and check.
Thanks,

Mountain Lion not opening pdf files in Mail

Opening PDF files in Mail?

Thanks

Can't open pdf documents from mail attachments

Have Adobe Reader free version installed. IPAD2 using latest IOS 7
When trying to open a pdf attachment from mail attachments, there is a quick flash screen that displays and the attachment doesn't open.
Is there a fix for this?

Will it open other PDF attachments? Perhaps that particular attachment is corrupt?
A few things to try...
1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Cannot open PDF's in mail after update.

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.

How can I open PDF in iBooks with iOS 7

Can't open pdf attachments from Mail

When I'm in Mail and try to open or save to my computer and then open a pdf in Preview, I get an error message -
"The file “Proposal to Seattle City Light - Wolverine Study 6Mar2012.pdf” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
This happens with all pdfs in Mail. However, if I go to email account on the Internet and download the pdf it opens no problem. This is a new problem, though I can't say if it started happening as soon as I upgraded to Lion or if it happened sometime after (definitely not before).
Thanks!

I think maybe I wasn't completely clear in my reply to your original message.
I logged into my gmail account online and sent myself a pdf. I then retrieved that message with Mail and the pdf opened with no issues. It doesn't seem like that would be an issue with my mail service provider, because my pdf came through no problem, but those sent from others (all of whom I think are using Windows machines and hence Acrobat) will not open.
I'm going to see if I can get someone using a Mac and someone I know for sure is using a PC to send my pdfs and see what happens.

Very slow times on iBooks when open PDF files after upgrading IOS 5

Hi,
After I had upgraded my ipad 1 to the new iOS 5 every time that I open a PDF file inside iBooks it takes, at least, one minut. After it works fine and I don't have special problems when I'm reading but on finishing it and returning to the library it takes one other minute. It's annoying!!
Inside the library I have about 200 pdf files.
Before my upgrading all worked fine!
Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks,

Usually related to file associations in Windows. Right click on the PDF and select the Open With option and select Acrobat. Be sure to check "always open with."

When downloading pdf from a website my old ipad used to open it then I could click and select open with iBooks, my new ipad air just crashes safari and never downloads it

Once turned off, I could view PDFs within the Safari browser.
