Opening PDFs in Outlook Emails

I am using Windows 7, Outlook 2010, and ARX. Originally emails received with PDFs attached would automatically open in Windows Media Player. On advice from a friend I have uninstalled and reinstalled ARX several times and have deactivated WMP. The files will now not open at all and there is no right click "Open with" option. ARX is set as my default program for PDF files. When the files arrive they never come as the red Adobe icon. These same files have been sent to several people in the office and have opened okay. I can save the file to my computer and then open in ARX but I prefer to directly open from email. Any other things I should try?

Yes, I was hoping that this would repair any Office file associations.
Unfortunately I do not have any other ideas. I do not know why Outlook is not using the standard Windows file associations. Maybe you can also ask in Microsoft's Outlook forum?

Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

Cant open PDFs in Outlook

Hi - suddenly cant open PDFs attached to emails in Outlook - get a message saying error in initialisation/access denied. This has only happened since the latest updates (using XI) ... it works ok if I save the PDF to my hard drive and open from within the program but who has time?? can someone help me please??

Hi Jim
the usual reason, if it's all pdf's - is an adobe pdf plugin not working properly...
look in both HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and the same folder within your Home/Library/
& remove any pdf/adobe/acrobat plugins you see, then restart Safari
adobe acknowledge the problem at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
although their suggestion is to stay with safari 5.0.x and/or not update to lion
You don't need it for most pdf's since safari's built-in pdf viewer will show them, or they can be downloaded & opened in adobe reader/acrobat - but if not seeing them within safari is a problem - try http://schubertit.com/pluginpdf/ after removing any adobe plugins.

Thanks

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.

There was an error opening document. Access denied. Cant open pdf attached to emails

I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader x and can't open files attached to emails in Outlook 2010. If I save the file, I can open it. I assume it has something to do with protected view or such but can't find where to change settings. I can open .doc and .xlsx files attached to emails so it seems to be only an issue with .pdf files attached to emails in Outlook. Suggestions?

To make things simple for you, here are two ways for you fix the problem:
A. Fix One PC
Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
Go to: Edit > Preferences...
Click on "General" in the left pane.
Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
Click OK to save your change.

Microsoft Outlook and other email clients
I hear this will also fix the "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." error that is occurring with any email client, including Microsoft Outlook Express; Microsoft Outlook 2010, 2007, 2003; Eudora; Mozilla Thunderbird.

Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Performance Problems (Open PDF from Outlook)

Hello all,
Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Multi Language version was rolled out to several hundreds of Win XP SP3 client machines.
Now users start reporting that Adobe Reader starts very slow. Most users complain that opening a PDF attached to an email in MS Outlook takes very long (10 sek up to several minutes).
In some forums I found problems with PDFs in Outlook in versions before 10.1.1.
Does anyone has an idea what causes this slow response?
Is there anything we can test to come closer to the problem?
Thanks for help.

I do not have this problem with Reader 10.1.6 or 11.0.2 on Outlook 2007.
WhatI would do if I encountered such a problem: observe the process with Process Monitor. This could give me some clues what is going on, compared to an earlier Reader version that did not cause this problem.

Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

Reader XI - Cannot open PDFs from Outlook: Internal error occured. Access is denied.

I have a user that when they try to open a PDF from Outlook they get two errors. An internal error occured, and Access is denied. I HAVE tried everyone's solution of unchecking 'Enabled Protected Mode' in Adobe > Edit > Preferences...but, this has NOT worked. The user is currently running Windows XP and has Outlook 2010. The attachments DO open if you save them to computer first, or if Adobe Reader is already open. Please help. Thank you.

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

How can I open pdf attachments in email? Adobe reader used to do this, and does not.

About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly could not open pdf attahments while reading my email. I now must down load them and save, in order to open them. Can someone help me to fix this? They open on my desk top, but not in Internet explorer. I would like to see them before down loading. What can I do to fix this problem?

Enable the Adobe Reader plugin in browser : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
