No it can't.   Unless your device is jailbroken. But I would change your work email password..

  • Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

    Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
    I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
    Any help with this?

    I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7.  Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
    In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
    We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message.  I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
    In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
    The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
    I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
    For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability.   Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

  • Acrobat error when opening pdf email attachments

    I have a user who has the latest version of Adobe Acrobat and Reader installed on his PC running Windows 7 Pro SP1 which is up to date on patches.
    He was unable to open any pdf documents attached to email and was getting an error from Acrobat saying it couldn't open them. I changed the default file association for .pdf file from Acrobat to Reader and now he can open most pdf attachments. The only ones he is having a problem with are ones that come from his bank in what he was told by his banker are secure emails.
    What happens when he clicks on the pdf attachment in the emails from his bank is that he gets a popup with Adobe Acrobat in the title bar of the popup and the message that says "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again." The buttons to click on are OK and Cancel. If he clicks OK, the popup goes away and the pdf then opens in Reader.
    So while he can view the pdf, he gets the annoying popup that he has to click through. Is there any way to get rid of that error message popup so when he clicks on the pdf in the secure emails, that it just opens without error like the pdf's do from non-secure emails?

  • Why can I not open PDF email attachments?

    Normally on my iPhone I'm able to simply click on the PDF attachment at the bottom of an email and it opens for me to read but I just got an iPad and it doesn't seem to do that. When I click attachments in my email nothing happens.  But for instance when I try to open attachments I have saved in Dropbox they open perfectly fine.

    Well something has changed since IOS came out. I can't open email attachments anymore in all apps.
    Up until say 3 weeks ago I would tap on an email attachment (a PDF) and a menu of apps would appear. Normally I would choose Goodreader or iBooks to open the PDF. No problems. My iPad2 would switch to the app and open the PDF.
    Now that IOS 6 is out when you touch the email attachment icons appear. Goodreader and iBook show up. But when i touch either one of these icons nothing happens. It won't switch to the app and open the PDF anymore.
    Two other things. I do have other apps that appear such as PDFSplicer. If i choose it the iPad2 switches to that app and opens the PDF. It's only Goodreader and iBook that won't work anymore.
    second, I went to my local Apple store and talked to the guys at the genius bar. I demonstrated the problem to them. They said it looks like a bug and suggested I send a bug report to apple. Never heard back from them.
    Any ideas?

  • 710: Can't open/save email attachments. Please hel...

    Hello!
    I am brand new to the Nokia 710 and I have my AOL email account linked up to the phone. I am able to send and recieve emails just fine.
    My problem is that when I try to open/download any attachments like a Word or PDF document that are in the emails, they never open. They start to open but never do. I can open these attachements on my old Palm Pixi rather quickly and without any trouble so I know it is not the files that are the problem.
    I've searched both this USA forum and the UK one and didn't see anyone else with the same issue... so did I not set up something properly with the phone?
    Many thanks.

    Sorry to take a little while to respond back. I had to open a Yahoo account and then send an email with attachments to it and open the account on the Nokia phone to test it...blah, blah, blah...
    The outcome... Yahoo works. Very quickly too. I tested two Word Docs and a JPEG.
    I also set up a personal email account I have from a register.com domaine name (an IMAP, have no clue what that means) on the phone to test and... I can open the documents and the photo as well.
    So, my question is why is it not working with AOL???
    I know I'm and old dinosaur and it shows my age that I still use AOL and all, but I would hate to have to switch email addresses now just because I can't open attachements on this phone.
    Any clues?

  • Opening PDF Email Attachments

    My PDF email attachments open in Microsoft Word and can't be read. How can I open PDF attachments in Adobe without first having to do a 'Save As'? I have Adobe on my laptop.

    The problem is a file association. 
    If you are using Verizon's webmail then you need to fix the file association in your web browser.
    If you are using an email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.) you need to fix the file association in your computer (varies as to how based on OS and client).

  • Problem opening PDF email attachments

    How do I get email attachments to open as PDF files in Adobe Reader instead of Photoshop Element?

    In windows explorer, right-click a closed PDF file’s icon and select “Open with”→ Adobe Reader from the pop-up menu. Turn on the “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” checkbox to set Reader to open all PDF files.

  • Adobe 2.0 Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

    Hi. I am using WM5 on an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125). I installed Adobe 2.0 for viewing PDF's and it works great. The only problem I have is that I get an error every time I try to view a pdf that is an email attachment.
    When I open an email with a pdf attachment, I tap the attachment and Adobe 2.0 starts up. I then get the following errors:
    "The file is damaged, but is being repaired"
    "There was an errror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    If I try to save the pdf attachment and then view it I get the same two errors listed above.
    If I copy the pfd attachment from my PC to the device I can open it, but I suspect that is because some type of file conversion has taken place.
    Should I be able to view pdf attachments on my device using adobe 2.0 or will the pdf attachments always need some type of coverting before I can view them on my device?
    Adobe 2.0 works great, but so far I am unable to view pfd email attachments.
    Thanks for the help.
    Rob

    >>> The .pdf must be transferred from a PC into the mobile device folder and conversion must take place in order to view the file on the mobile device. <<
    There are likely a number of ways which will render pdf's non viewable on ppcs... some thoughts on this specific issue;
    The activesync "plugin" is a "tagger" subject to failure... if the file can't be directly opened from the file menu of ppc reader, it is likely another problem.
    ppc reader is acrobat 5... most pdf's are created with "backward compatibility" but it's also possible that the original generator specified acrobat 6 or 7
    The "file associations" are often wrong with respect to pdf files... attachments apparently have another level of file association, so, before making any conclusion, save the file to the "My Documents" folder, start reader and open the file using the ppc reader's file menu.
    >>> it would be nice if Adobe and Microsoft could put their heads together to straighten this out. <<
    Remember something said long ago about "when pigs fly" ;-) ...we are on our own as there is zero evidence that anyone from adobe even reads these posts, and then you have to couple that with the fact that reader users are not adobe's customers... they have almost zero incentive to address ppc reader problems... wanna do something about it... get a major full acrobat user to complain to adobe that their pdfs are not really ppc readable.

  • Accidentally opened spam email from Dropbox

    I accidently opened an email link to Dropbox.com that was apparently spam.  Have I compromised my iPad 2 (iOS 8.1,0.1)?  If so, what do I do?

    Did you provide/input  any passwords?  If so, change those passwords immediately.  Otherwise, you should be fine.  Delete the email & empty the trash.
    Also open Settings->Safari->Clear History & Website Data.

  • Why can't I open word email attachments on iPhone on io7

    I was able to open email attachments before the io7 update, now I can't open any attachments in Word. I can open Excel but not Word. I've gone back to try and view Word attachments that I had opened and viewed with no issue  prior to the update and now I can't open them.

    What happens when you try? More info would be helpful. In any case, the first thing to try is a reset, cures 99% of glitches. Hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Unable to open gmail email attachments on iPad3

    I recently bought the new iPad. I configured gmail on iPad, however I am unable to open email attachments. Despite clicking on the attachments, the grey dashes around the attachments dont change & subsequently the am unable to view the attachments.
    I have already reset the iPad a few time which included erasing all content & restoring it completely
    Need some help to figure this one out.

    What you're experiencing is one major issue raised by iPad users.  Yes, you are far better using the Gmail App than the native Gmail on iPad.  Even with the native, if you switch to desktop view, you'll have the same issue.
    My issue has been, in the native version, can't attach anything without issues.  Using the Gmail App, I'm able to attach, but only pictures.  It doesn't allow me to open other subfiles to attached pics in other files or PDF, Word,Excell,etc which I create using QuickOffice Pro.
    I've tried this on various Android Tablets, and not a single issue with them. You can attach anything.  So, it's definately an Apple device thing.
    I'll even go further. If using Facebook on an iPad 3, you can post, but cannot delete a post you make whether in desktop view, native FB on iPad or the FB App itself.  Yet, on my Droid Razr phone, I can by simply swyping sideways, a black X appears and I delete the post.
    It's these quirks, that is leading me to consider selling my iPad 3, and just stick with my 13" MacBook Pro.

  • TS1506 I have a problem opening some email attachments. They will not open in the mail application on an IPad Air

    I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
    There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem.  The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
    There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
    All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
    Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?

  • Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

    I have a Treo 650 with ATT/Cingular service. I am unable to open PDF attachments to email (use Versamail and a POP3 server). I can see the attachments, when I click on the message "Do you want to accept (file name)... I reply "Yes" and receive an error message "Failed to receive beamed document." When I hit choice "OK" I get this error message "Error: Database: corrupt database 0x0209". I have unistalled and re-installed Adobe Reader 3.05 for Palm OS from both my Treo 650 and my laptop several times and I still get the message.
    What is really weird is that if I Hot Sync an Acrobat Reader PDF file from my laptop to my Treo 650 I CAN view the PDF - it is only getting them from email to open that is the issue. I can open other types of file attachments from email (WORD, Excel, ...) Any ideas? ATT could not help.

    The files aren't corrupt. The problem is that Adobe Reader for Palm is a two part system. The actual Palm Reader is a relatively small program that is designed to work on versions of the Palm that don't have memory cards, and therefore can only handle files in the special Palm database format.
    The general philosophy is that, the small screen and possibly the small memory (on some Palms) is not appropriate to the presentation of print images, therefore the documents are reflowed and displayed using the Palm's native fonts.
    Reflowing requires that the PDF file be marked up with the logical structure of the document, not just the layout. That is a recent feature (tagging), done to allow reading by devices like screen readers for the blind, and most documents don't have it done at source, so the part of the reader than runs on Windows usually has to attempt to do this. Doing it is complex, because it involves making inferences about the intent of the layout.
    Also, to reduce the load on the Palm part of the code, all images are converted to bitmaps.
    Finally, as noted above, many Palms at the time the software was written, many Palms did not have memory cards and therefore could only handle files in PDB format, so the Windows part of the code wraps the file up as a PDB when you properly hot synch it. That involves adding to the file, it is not just a renaming operation.
    It could be argued that processing power, memory, and the ubiquity of memory cards, now mean that vector graphics could be used directly and the files no longer need a PDB wrapper. The arguments for tagging still hold, though, although some people might prefer to scroll a 150x150 window. Adobe do not seem to have worked on this software for many years.
    I believe it is possible to use third party tools to recover the .PDF.PDB and then successfully email that, but on receiving it, you must put it in a Palm applications directory, not in a directory for normal files.

  • Unable to open .doc email attachments

    I recently upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8 and now I cannot open .doc attachments in my emails anymore. I'm using the iOS mail app with my Gmail account. The app just opens a grey screen with the document name. No change when I tried to reset my device.
    Just to make sure I opened the same email on my iPhone 5 runnung iOS 7.1.2 and was able to open the attachment just fine... What gives?

    This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
    "While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."
