PDF attachments won't open in ios4 mail

PDF attachments received in ios4 mail will not open. First page only displayed. How to fix?

i finally got it to work. i went through all my apps and tried to think of anything that could interfere, including iBooks, and removed them using iTunes. I then hard reset my phone and checked to see if i could at least view them as i used to (iBooks) and i was. i then put iBooks back on my phone, checked a PDF in mail and was able to quicklook it or open in iBooks. i was able to then add the other apps back with out losing the functionality.
apps i removed to get it working:
Stanza
AirSharing
EasyTask
Bump
Photoshop Mobile
hope this helps

  • Word and PDF Attachments Won't Open in Mail

    I bought my iPad2 in September 2011. have upgraded it to iOS5. I cannot open any PDF, .doc or .docx document. I have tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader and the Word documents in Pages or Dropbox but they won't open. All my apps are up to date.
    What seems to be happening is that Mail is having difficulty downloading the attachment. I had a 4MB PDF attachment and when I tapped on the icon it began to download, which took several minutes. I saw the byte size change from 0 to 4MB. Then I tapped on it again to open the file but the byte size dropped immediately to 0 again and the file won't open. I tried opening in Adobe Reader but got the error "The document is empty (size 0KB)" . I have gone through several cycles of downloading the file and seining the seesaw from 0 to 4MB and back again. Just won't open the file.
    Same problem when I tried opening Word documents in Pages or Dropbox. Also, I reproduced this issue with my colleague's iPad (version 1, iOS4, Pages).
    Just to ascertain there's nothing wrong with the file attachments, I downloaded the same PDF in Outlook, placed it in my Dropbox, and opened it in the iPad without any problem.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Have you tried pressing the attachment to get the "open in" message and open in VLC, iBooks, or other apps?

  • Pdf attachments won't open

    I Have Adobe Acrobat reader app downloaded to my iPhone but I can not open PDF attachments in my e-mail.
    This seems to a simple issue but I am new to iPhone so any help would be great.

    Please see the Mail section of the following FAQ document.

  • Pdf attachments won't open in Adobe Reader 9

    After installing Adobe Reader 9, I can no longer open pdf files that come as email attachments. Even attachments I opened two weeks ago no longer open. Error message is from Microsoft Outlook and reads "Application not found." I've found Adobe Reader in my "All Programs" list. After opening the email, I right-click the attachment and save it as a file. Then, I can open Adobe Reader and browse to that file and open it successfully. But NOT by double-clicking the attachment in the email. Any ideas? Thanks!
    P.S. I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader 9 Won't Download" then realized it was off topic, so I started another topic. Mea culpa!

    I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
    And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
    I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
    Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

  • Pdf attachments won't open from outlook?

    I have adobe reader version 10.1.6 and for the last few weeks, when I double click on a attachment in outlook nothing happens. 
    Sometimes after clicking 10 to 20 times it will finally open.  This problem does not exist if I am simply opening a pdf from a
    folder on the hard drive, or from a network drive it is only from outlook.  The funny thing is, the computer sees adobe acrobat
    as being open every time I click.  Task manager shows tons of instances of acrobat open yet nothing is on the screen.  Is this
    a known bug?  Do I just need to uninstall and reinstall or what?  Thanks.

    The PDF is not corrupt, it contains no data at all.
    from the message source
    --Apple-Mail=_694B8A93-CB52-4579-B4D7-2112F4893BEC
    Content-Disposition: inline;
    filename=test.pdf
    Content-Type: application/applefile;
    name="test.pdf"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    No data here to make a PDF from.
    --Apple-Mail=_694B8A93-CB52-4579-B4D7-2112F4893BEC
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    Content-Type: text/html;
    charset=us-ascii
    So instead of sending me the PDF someone sent back (I assume that is what I have as it is forwarded) send me a mail direct with that pdf and we will see if there is something wrong with the mail your sending, or if something is stripping attachments at the other end.

  • Word attachments won't open into Word application

    My dad complained that his iMac G5 opens Word attachments automatically into the trial version of MS Office Word.
    Eventhough he purchased a copy of Office, Mail continued to open Word attachments to the trial version. Because the trial version of Office is expired, the attachments wouldn't open unless I dragged the docs unto the desktop and changed the Info on the documents to open with the purchased version of Word.
    In one attempt to resolve the problem, I trashed the trial version, Mail popped up the dialogue box that asked what application did I want to open the attachment with. I chose the purchased version of Office, but Mail won't do this automatically. It still asked to choose the application to open the document.
    I went into his Documents folder and picked one Word doc to change the Info @ "Open With" and chose MS Word app and checked the box "Use this application to open all documents like this." Still didn't work. I then manually changed the Info in all of his Word docs to open into the purchased version of Word. Problem still not resolved.
    Found out that his PDF docs won't open into Preview automatically too! I get the dialogue box... "Choose application to open document."
    I looked through Preferences and couldn't find a solution.
    I'm the family IT, and I need help.
    I need Mail to open attachments automatically into their correct applications.
    Thanks, Joe

    Per this link, you must uninstall the Office 2004 trial or Test Drive version before installing the full purchased version.
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004td
    Since you have already uninstalled the Test Drive version, I suggest uninstalling the full purchased version and then re-install it.
    Regarding the problem with PDF documents, this link may be helpful.

  • Firefox 23, attachments won't open or download

    firefox 23.0, attachments won't open or download. this includes PDFs, movie clips, perhaps others.
    i tried safe mode and it works. so it suggested turning off accelerator, use default themes and disabling extensions. i tried all that and none of that worked.
    anybody have any other ideas?

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari.  I have Reader 9.4.5.  It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
    See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

  • Email attachments won't open.

    Just ran the latest update to the iPad and now my email attachments are trying to open in airsharing.  How do I change the default reading application in my email?

    I updated my ipad as well and my attachments won't open, did before the update but wont now.  I was able to convert the word doc to pages but wont open otherwise

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • PDF file won't open with double click

    Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
    Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
    Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
    Very frustrating!

    Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
    In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
    So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

  • Pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet?  how to allow click thru of all files?

    That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
    Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
    to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
    1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
    2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
    3. I click Download.
    4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
    5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
    scroll bar to read all of the pages.
    6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
    7. I click the save icon.
    8. I save the file to my desktop.
    9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.
