PDF Email Corrupt

I constantly receive files via PDF that I need to forward to co-workers. I have used the Iphone 4 for this for over a year. About 2 months ago, the PDFs have started coming over corrupt. The email is MS Exchange. When I forward the same email and PDF from my laptop, the file is always fine.
Is there any fix for this?

Email notoriously damages PDF files, so I'd recommend using a Dropbox or similar approach as standard.
The causes of corruption can be very hard to track down and can include subtle incompatibilities between email programs, size limits, failure of email programs to treat PDFs as binary, and automatic processing of email, such as corporate signatures or antispam.

Acrobat can not open pdf email attachment

Acrobat 8 Professional. A user gets this error message when he tries to open up a pdf email attachment: "Acrobat could not open <File Name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I can open up the attachment without any issues. Anybody else have this issue?

Yes, Ron Green here at the NYS Insurance Department. I now have two clients and counting that have somewhat of an identical problem.
Client #1 has Adobe 8 Professional installed on his pc which is running Widnows XP Professsional. Files are scanned using a XEROX MFP network scanner and client is able to open those scanned documents within adobe and then saves them to a network share. Problem arises whenever he attempts to attach the saved document to another application. Once he attempts viewing the scanned document at that point Adobe blows up with the same error message stating the file is corrupt.
Client #2 has Adobe 9 Reader but is still able to follow the same network scanning scenario aforementioned but encounters the exact same problem when attempting to attach the scanned PDF documents.
Is there any type of fix out there for this???

Can't open any pdf - says 'corrupt or damaged file' every time!

Can't open any pdf - says 'corrupt or damaged file'

Were your PDF documents originally the email attachments opened in Apple Mail on your iPad/iPhone? Apple Mail may have corrupted your PDF documents.
Please see Problem #1 in the following FAQ document.
How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
Unfortunately, you are not able to repair the corrupted/damaged files. However, you can try to reopen PDF attachments using the workaround specified in the FAQ document.

You click on a .pdf file; Firefox won't load and says "not a pdf or corrupted," but all other browsers open it normally

Clicking on a link to a .pdf file in Firefox results in Firefox displaying the box "Format error: not a .pdf or corrupted"
This has happened for several years with any number of web pages. A link to the latest event is below, but it typically happens almost every time I click on a link to a .pdf

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check

Hi tinam74565130,
That does sound frustrating! It sounds as though the filename associations have become confused on your computer. You should be able to reset that easily. Here are some instructions:

APEX on Oracle XE PDF printing produces: Format error: not a PDF or corrupted.

Dear fellow Apexers and Oracle Gurus,
I have the following configuration:
Oracle XE 11gR2
APEX 4.2.3.00.08
Listener 2.0.5
On this setup I can create workspaces and applications as I please.
Now I want to print a PDF report.
I have set up PDF printing to "Oracle Listener" in the "manage Instance" settings in the instance administration.
I have created a classical report on the EMPLOYEES table (Select * from EMPLOYEES)
and enabled PDF printing in the "Printing" area of the "Print Attributes" of the page.
When I run the page I do get the "print" link on the bottom of the page.
Clicking the link does produce a .PDF but showing this file triggers an error in my PDF reader: Format error: not a PDF or corrupted.
Opening the .PDF file in a text editor reveals the corrupt content.
%PDF-1.4
%ª«¬
Unknown function: gatherContextInfo
The same setup works fine and produces the expected PDF file with the report on the following configuration:
Oracle Vbox with Developer days image;
DB 11gR2
Upgraded to apex 4.2.3.00.08
Listener 2.0.5
Since the PDF shows "unknown function" I suspected the XE configuration to lack some of the necessary rights, maybe I forgot to configure the ACLs correctly.
So I compared the ACL info on both configurations. Alas,.. on both machines they return the same result..
SQL> SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
HOST         LOWER_PORT    UPPER_PORT    ACL
localhost    null          null           /sys/acls/local-access-users.xml
*            null          null           /sys/acls/power_users.xml
SQL> select * from dba_network_acl_privileges
ACL                                  PRINCIPAL      PRIVILEGE   IS_GRANT    INVERT
/sys/acls/local-access-users.xml     APEX_040200    connect     true        false
/sys/acls/power_users.xml            APEX_040200    connect     true        false
Anyone any idea why this works fine on the Vbox and not on the local XE configuration?
Any hint or answer as to where the problem might be is appreciated
TIA
Wouter

I'm having the same issue. I'm using Oracle XE 11gR2 as well. I've tried with APEX 4.2.2 and APEX 4.2.4. I have set up the Oracle Listener in instance settings and set the report to print and I have the same result as you. Have you had any progress yet?
Thanks
Jason

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader.

Interactive PDF / Email marketing

I have a 20 page newsletter that I'm sending out through an eblast. I have several paragraphs in the eblast summarizing exciting points in the newsletter. What I'm trying to do is where it says "read more on page 14" in the eblast, have a link that takes the viewer directly to page 20 instead of just opening the generic PDF. I'm also trying to make it so in the PDF version where it says "story continued on page 4" the reader can click that and it will take them to page 4 instead of having to scroll through the newsletter manually. Our newsletters are hosted on our website so we usually link to the website like: www.website.org/newsletters/fall2009 and the newsletter opens from there.
Does anyone know how to make this happen? I've never done it before and haven't worked with this type of PDF/email marketing so I'm at a loss. If you have any suggestions please send links to detailed instructions and be detailed so I can figure it out!

You will have to set up bookmarks and links to those bookmarks. Several folks should be around tomorrow who are good at this type of action, so please be patient.

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).

PDF email archives: How to selectively re-export to new archive/.pst?

A while back, I made PDF email archives of a variety of Outlook folders, and eventually deleted the Outlook messages in question.
Now, unfortunately, I am wishing I had not. So, a few "save the day" type of questions:
1) Can I convert an entire PDF email archive, or portions of an archive, back into Outlook format? How? (If you know the answer to this, ignore the rest!)
2) Can I selectively search a PDF email archive, and then group-export the messages displayed in the search results into a separate PDF email archive? How? I can manage to use the filters to select a group of messages, but I can't manage to re-export them to a new archive or a PDF portfolio.
thanks,
Erik

It cannot be done in InDesign, but, as you surmised in Acrobat.
You'll need to ask in the Acrobat forums. I don't know of any changes like that in Acrobat DC but because I don't program in JavaScript, I might have overlooked it. Try one of these forums:

PDF Email Creation for Clients

Hi, I would like to create a PDF email form that I can then hand over to a client that only has the free acrobat reader. If I create a form with his email address, will he be able to view, save and print the completed/submitted forms?
I seem to be going back and forth on whether or not to scrap this idea and build him an HTML form on my website and then just add a PDF download link for the people that want to print and snail-mail.

I guess I just answered my own question. My solution will be to Enable Usage Rights and delete the "submit by email" button. Then my client will instruct them to save the file and return it in a reply email.

Pdf email attachments won't open

After upgrading to IOS 7 the pdf email attachments are not opening...just says "loading" and never loads.

Hi DVFFTI,
I'm not sure from your description if you're having the same problem I was having.
In my case, PDF attachments would only display as a single image of the first page of the PDF.
The only option I had was to Copy or Save the image. I couldn't open a preview of the full PDF in Mail or tap to 'Open in...' a different app.
Turns out that I had too many apps on my iPhone that can read PDFs, for example, Dropbox, Evernote, iBooks, Kindle, etc. even a Canon app for remote printing.
Removing one of them fixed the issue for me.
I remember this happening before and seeing other threads about this, so I don't think it's specific to iOS 7.
Give it a go and see if it fixes your problem. Hope it helps.
