PDF attachments are trying to open in Microsoft Publisher

Why are my PDF attachments trying to open in Microsoft Publisher.  I click on the attachement, Publisher opens up with a File Conversion windown opening as well.  It will not open.  I have to save the file, then open Adobe Acrobat, then open the file.  It just started doing this a few weeks ago.  Anyone know what the problem is??

I'm not sure how the issue would have started, but it sounds like you need to change your file associations so that your computer knows what program to use to open a file with a .pdf extension. Assuming you have a Windows system, below are the directions for fixing this problem (copied from the Microsoft support website):
To change which program starts when you double-click a file, follow these steps:
Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows to open in a program that you select.
Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your computer, complete one of the following steps:
Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the program that you want.
The Open With dialog box is displayed. Use one of the following methods to select the program that you want to use for this file type:
In the Programs list, click the program that you want to use.
Click Browse, locate and then click the program that you want to use, and then click Open.
Click Look for the appropriate program on the Web to browse the Internet for the program that you want to use.
Click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box if it is not selected.
Click OK.
Let me know if you need more help.

  • So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • The vendor account is not associated with the file you are trying to open.Please try again.

    Please help me to understand what is the problem with the set up of the program. I bought an ebook from an internet site to which my IP address was blocked (in country 1). My brother bought it on a computer in country 2  and wanted to download and send me the file so I can open it on my computer. He set up initial download without Adobe ID. Afterwards he downloaded the pdf and send it to me. I tried to upload it  with my ADE reader but it didn't work without ID. My brother then deleted afterwards his ADE and installed it again, downloaded the ebook again but this time setting up an ID. He transferred me the file ,I used the same ID  but then the following message appeared "The vendor account is not associated with the file you are trying to open. Please try again." . Can this be fixed somehow? I cannot open the URLLinks even as there is no connection from my IP , but I have the pdf file ( ebook) but I don't know how to set up the program.

    Sorry Everyone this error message appeared in Digital Editions 4 used on a windows 8 laptop.  Thanks Chris

  • I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Any ideas?

    I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Anyone else had problems like this and how do I solve it? Thanks. Ray

    Hi raythree,
    I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
    Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
    Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
    I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why are PDF attachments are showing up on the body of emails, instead of as actual attachments?

    PDF attachments are showing up in the body of my emails rather than as attachments. I need to be able to open them in other programs, eg notability, mad can't do that if they're not real attachments. On my other devices they're showing up at regular attachments.

    When a PDF that has only one page is attached to an email the Mail app will display the conte tents of the PDF in the body of the email. But the PDF is still an attachment. Tap on the PDF to open in iBooks or forward it to your computer to open it there. Again, the one page PDF will display the contents of the single page but the PDF is still an attachment and can be used like any other attachment.
    When a PDF that has more than one page is attached to an email the Mail app only displays the icon for an attachment.

  • The page that you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of

    I programmed a set of quizzes in Director 8.0 for one of my courses about ten years ago and have been updating them since. And, yes, I did purchased 11.5, but can't use it because I can't use printing w POM or a number of other extras anymore. My semester is about to start and Adobe has updated the Shockwave player in Windows over the summer (I think?) causing my quizzes to not work in a web browser. I am getting this message and can't figure out what is causing it:
    The page that you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of the Shockwave player.
    I have been working on this for a day and a half and am stumped. I made two apps in 11.5 for WIndows .exe and Mac .app that partially work, but can't get the quizzes to work in Firefox 13 or IE 9. I searched the web and could not find anything useful.  I found a message in this forum from back in 2009 where someone had a similar problem and Sean WIlson said to add a parameter that specifed Player version =11, but that was back in 2009. I tried that PARAM and still get the error. I tried updating the quiz menu .dcr on the web to 11.5, but that didn't work. With all of the updates lately to browsers, the Shockwave plug-in, and Director 11.5, I don't know what is generating the error.  I am assuming its Shockwave player doesn't like something, but have no idea what this movie reference to an incorrect version of Shockwave player is referring to.  We're up to player 11.6 now.  Do we have to include this in the embed statement or is there something else that is causing this error?  Please help, thanks!
    Edit: Oddly, the quizzes are still working on a MacBook Pro using Firefox 13.0.1.  I don't know what the Shockwave Player version is. On the Windows 7 side of this MacBook running bootcamp, it was running Shockwave Player 11.6.4. I thought maybe I should uninstall it and install the latest 11.6.6, which I did. The latest version of Shockwave made no difference on Windows 7.  I also tried to run the quizzes on an HP laptop running Windows Vista, Firefox 14.0.1 and Shockwave Player 11.6 installed back Jan 2012 accoridng to the Control Panel.  Same error message.  Tried it using IE 8, which just seemed to do a Shockwave update - no problem the quizzes run.

    Digital editions is set-up and accepting books.  Everything seems fine except when I try to open the books, it asks for authorisation.  I enter the Adobe ID which works when I go into the Adobe site, but gives me the error "The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open.  Please try again".  How do I fix this?

  • How do you open a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file using inDesign?

    How do you open a Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file using inDesign?

    You don't.
    To get some semblance of the original content into Indesign, you could export the Pub file to PDF, then use PDF2ID, (probably a free trial available out there), to convert the PDF.
