.pdf and .doc Attachments are downloading as .html files

Dear Forum,
I have received both .doc and .pdf attachments in my email (charter.net).
I click to download, the files then appear on the desktop as Safari files with a example.doc.html file name or example.pdf.html
Of course neither Word or Acrobat Reader can open them without them appearing as scrolling incoherient text...
Why does this happen? I assume the files should download as their true file type such as example.doc or example.pdf
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi WinchesterBunnyMama, what exactly is your problem. Is it this issue:
Some users are finding that an update changed the description of "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Firefox HTML Document". The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry if you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
''*'' If you do not have Adobe Reader 11, you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Font in pdf and in Ai are different. Same file but different font.

Hi
I have trouble with font in illustrator and pdf.
A customer sent me both Ai and Pdf files, the text are totally different.
When I open the illustrator there is one font (Arial Narrow Bold), but when i view the pdf using adobe acrobat the text has changed to another font (Myriad Roman).
The correct font is Arial Narrow Bold.
It is very unprofessional to ask customer everytime what font they are using when they already provide me the Ai files.
I want to know what happen when converting to pdf. Are there any setting in pdf I should be aware of ? so I can tell customer next time to avoid this mistake.
Pls help I really need to know the answer to this. Thank you so much!!

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for your reply.
Can you let me know where is this setting and what to select or deselect??
Thanks so much!

How do I use the filter to automatically print email and .pdf, .xls, .doc attachments to my default network printer and to other network printers

I receive sales orders by email. I want to filter some to print on my default network printer and others to print on another network printer. The email body must print as well as txt, .pdf, .xls, .doc attachments.

You can filter messages to file them to a certain folder, but I don't think you can have Thunderbird to automatically print them.

Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen. Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear

Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen. Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear, and lock me out until I press return. So they are active, I just can't see them. Any ideas?

They are obviously off the screen somewhere. Did you have a dual monitor set up at one time? You can try increasing the resolution of your screen to see if you can get a part to show or maybe just resrt the preferences (Cmd(Ctrl)+Opt(Alt)+Shift as you restart AI) to reset the defaults.

Attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails.

I am desperately trying to figure out how to attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails in the Mail app. I have downloaded GoodReader, but when I go into "Manage Files" and choose "Open in...", Mail is not one of the apps listed for me to choose from (only Quickoffice and iBooks are listed, that's it). My Gmail account is pushed to the Mail app, if that's relevant at all.
I'm hoping to be able to attach documents to Reply emails in the Mail app, but if I have to do it using my web-based email, that's better than nothing. I just really need to be able to attach them to Replies, and not compose a new email from scratch.
I'd REALLY appreciate any help with this!
Thanks.

I thought I might be able to figure out a clever work-around by using cut and paste from a new message but this did not work as expected. I have been using the MobileMe iDisk app to store pdf files and then just mailing out the links. I believe my cut and paste method would have worked with this, however I've got about a year now to figure out another way to do this if it is not included in Apple's new cloud service. This has actually been a better as I need to worry less about file size and don't need to have the files stored on the device.
You may want to look into what on-line file storage solutions are out there and if they have the ability to send links to files to colleagues, possibly with password protection.

Is it possible to batch print .pdf AND .doc files together?

I need to let users to batch print a set of files that includes both .PDFs and .DOCs. Since <cfprint> allows .PDF files only, what would you suggest?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not an option because I need to allow users to batch print and I have no info about their network printer configuration
That raises a large RED Flag that you may be misunderstanding the <cfprint...> functionality. <cfprint...> can NOT print to a printer that is configured to the clients computer. So if that is what you are looking to do, you need to be looking at Client side technology. But be aware, that current, common, browser based web applications generally have very limited connections to client hardware. If you are willing to get into Flex, Flash, Air (or another company's technologies) you could probably do more. But HTML and JavaScript currently do not have much access to the hardware of a client computer.
The <cfprint...> tag is designed to send a print job from the SERVER running the ColdFusion application to a printer connected to that server. IF you are writing programs with no knowledge of the server network configurations (I.E. an application meant to be sold to various customers) this becomes much more difficult to do. But if you are writing a CFML application to be run on a known network, which is what many of us do, then it should be pretty easy to know what printers are connected to the server running ColdFusion and figure out what capabilities those printers have.

Lost messages with pdf or doc attachments

Sending emails from my MacBook Pro under Lion 10.7.2, using Mail.app, my iCloud account, and the iCloud SMTP server (smtp.mail.me.com).
My email messages that contain pdf or doc attachments get lost in the cloud. They are visible in my Sent mailbox, but never reach destination. I noticed this yesterday for the first time. In contrast I have no problems with jpg attachments.

We could not find them in spam boxes.
Is there a spam filter at the iCloud SMTP server? A filter that would trash my message with no warning?
The only way I found so far was to send the message through another SMTP server

.pdf and .doc files corrupted on 2 Macs?

On an iMac and a shared Mac Mini, a number of PDF and DOC files have all of a sudden gotten corrupt. Some of these have not been modifed in 2 years but all of a sudden are corrupt. I've tried Data Rescue and cannot find anything online about these multiple files getting corrupted. I've rebuilt permissions and done various ML Cache Cleaner options to no avail. Anyone heard of anything like this? It just happened all of a sudden on 2 computers. At first I figured the first computer had the partition going bad but that doesn't explain 2 computers at once.

Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?

Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)? I updated last night and ever since, these files download as soon as I launch Safari.

I've gotten these from multiple web sites, including Drudge and National Journal.
It is my opinion that this behavior is a side effect of the latest Java update. Until this latest update, Apple has maintained its own version of Java. The latest update is Oracle Java.
Apple's note on the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11 includes this:
On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
Looking at the innards of one file downloaded, it appears to be a JavaScript beacon from advertising.com for rubiconproject.com. These files are used to track web browsing activity. I suspect that this Java changed the way the beacon is served and Safari.

Profile PDF and DOC/PDF

Hello
I have a document that contains a status network.
When document is RE (Released) has 2 originals (PDF and DOC).
My question is:
I need a profile that has following rules:
1 - User can access both originals (PDF or DOC)
2 - Another user can access only PDF.
Can I help you?
Regards

HI,
Your problem cannot be solved by just PFCG. Try this approach
1) Create profile which displays only the PDF files.
2) once u do that u'll observe that in cv03n u get a filter icon which controls whether all files or only pdf appears
3) now create a transaction variant for cv03n using SHD0 and disable the filter icon in this variant.
4) assign a t_code to this variant and then instead of giving access to cv03n for all users.. provide access to this new variant t_code to the users who are to have restricted access.
This works pretty well. tried and tested solution.
Regards
Abhishek

At the top of my homepage, I'm getting a message "Downloading the latest applications", but the circle to the left keeps spinning, and no applications are downloaded. I don't know how to stop this, tried right and left clicking on the bar. This occurs every time I open Firefox. How can I stop or disable this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Adobe Acrobat X - convert outlook email to pdf and include attachments as pdf

Is there a way to save an Outlook email as a PDF and include attachments as extra pages within the same PDF? I know I can convert an email to PDF and it will include the attachments as links. My end users feel that their clients won't understand the link feature, and/or the paper clip on the side pane. They'd rather convert an email and have it's attachments converted also, making the pdf an email message + converted attachments....all in one process. The only way currently is to open each attachment and convert them individially, then combine the email pdf and attachment pdf together. Too many steps involveed there.
make sense?
Thanks,
Jon Wooten

Same question here, but for Lotus Notes!! Seems ridiculously simple.
