PDF file as code in email message

Hi,
I received an email with a PDF file attached. This file I can open on a Windows pc or via webmail perfectly, but in Mail the attachment is part of the message (in code):
<---start message--->
"Dear ...,
Hereby you receive the pdf file...
%PDF-1.4 %Çåôå› 2 0 obj << /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 851 >> stream xÚå˘_o€6 ÀƒÍOq/ V ˆIJ¤h }Hk']˜&«§,ÀÖa`dÆœ'≈⁄D9ë>‡H{ﬂ“ ÉâÁˇ" %ñx (et cetera)"
<---end message--->
Does anyone know what is causing this? And how can I read/extract the attachment? Thanx in advance!

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

Can no longer click on pdf files to open in email, websites

Can no longer click on pdf files to open in email, websites, etc. on iMac. Help!
Have updated/reloaded Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. Still no go.
Any Suggestions?

I moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum since you're working on a Mac (not an iPad or iPhone).

When I try to open a pdf file I get an error message stating "There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Other pdf files open fine.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

How to insert a pdf file in an outgoing email

Looking for assistance, on how do you insert a pdf file in an outgoing email on iphone5, I have adobe and dropbox I can open a pdf file and send it from their respective apps but when I create a new email or reply or forward I want to be able to go get the pdf file and attach it to the email. Have not been able to find how to do this.
Regards,
Frank

Thanks for responding. For my work I have manuals, certifications or other regulatory docs that I have uploaded either to dropbox or adobe reader apps on my phone because I travel I find more often that I get request for these documents on an email chain and need to add a pdf to it. It seems I have to start a new email from the app the pdf is in as you stated. This defeats the purpose of responding or forwarding. very frustrating and not very professional. Is their an app out there that may help with this situation.

How do i save a pdf file from an incoming email on my ipad 2

how do i save a pdf file from an incoming email on my ipad 2

If you have iBooks on your iPad you have the option to save it to that. Just tap and hold on the document link and the options will pop up. Hit "open with ibooks" and it will save it in there for you. Thats one option

I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email. When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself. Can someone please help?

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Just installed Acrobat 9 and it won't open .pdf files I receive in emails

Just installed the newest version of Adobe CS4 Design Premium, and have a problem with Acrobat 9 Pro. Using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. My problem is that with the last 4 emails I've received which have attached PDF files, I'm unable to open those files (using Eudora 7.1 email client). Acrobat gives the the error message: "There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found." When I forward these emails to my other computer which is running Acrobat 7 Standard, the attachments open fine. To further the puzzle, I tried to open older emails which have PDF attachments (which I opened a while ago) and they open fine in Acrobat 9. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found that I can right-click on the attachment and "save attachment as..." to the desktop, and then it will open from there with no problem. Good work-around so that at least I have access to important attachments. But, it should open when I click on it inside the email, like it has with Acrobat 7 ever since I've owned it. Must have something to do with the interaction between AA9 and Eudora (a legendary but OLD email client). The attachments do, in fact, appear to be PDF files, so I can rule that one out.

Opening a pdf file from an old email attachment

Hi.
I am hoping someone can help with this odd issue. I received some pdf attachments in an email and after 6 months, the emails at work will be archived. This gives the pdf files names like:
accountsheet.pdf.pdf or accountsheet.pdf.efa.
The person sending me the email with these files does not have a problem opening them but I can't open them. I get the error message below and wonder if there is a way I can fix the decoding problem if that is the issue. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
J

Hi Jeff,
I'd like to help!
First step you should save it out of the email to your desktop. Do not try to open it directly.
Make sure you don't have two (periods > accountsheet.pdf.pdf)...
Then try opening it with the new file name (accountsheet.pdf).
Let me know if this helps!
Regards, Stacy

Adding PDF file as attachment to SOAP message
