Problem Reading pdf files sent thru e-mail

I saved some software output prints to pdf files (software has option for saving to pdf) and e-mailed to a co-worker.  I can see and print fine from my hard drive but recipient got only dots on the pages.  Should have been numbers and text.  I have Adobe 8.1.2.  Do you have any idea why this happened or what to do?  Thanks.

Some email servers corrupt PDF files because they use the wrong encoding for them. Try zipping them up before sending them.

    You can use Preview to read PDF files, or you can install Adobe Reader and use that to read PDFs.

  • Problems reading PDF Files and or Word Documents and when purchased this I had Word on this computer?

    I need help I had just recently purchased a program to help solve issues on my computer From Reimage and they still have not fixed the problems that I am having and I am no computer wiz and need help.  

    You need Adobe Reader to read PDF files.
    You need MS Office to open Word docs. If you don't have then
    LibreOffice is one of your best bets.

  • Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

    I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
    I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
    I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
    Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
    The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
    Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
    Any suggestions?

    I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
    I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

  • Problem reading pdf files, they are incomplete, garbled

    I cannot read or download correctly pdf files. They appear garbled, illegible and incomplete both on screen and when trying to print them.

    I have found a somewhat lengthy solution:
    First open the problem pdf file with Foxit.
    Then save it as the same name file in the same place, overwriting the original file.
    Now open the new file with Adobe Reader and the problem has gone.
    The problem of missing letters when copying text has gone too.
    I have no idea why this works.
    I would still like to learn of a better solution.

  • Problem reading pdf files

    I’m having trouble opening some recent pdf files with Adobe Reader.  This is a problem that has only happened in the last few weeks.
    All my older pdf files open without any problem. However all my more recently downloaded pdf files will not open. I get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.”
    My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium with a 64-bit OS and 8 GB RAM and my Adobe Reader is up-to-date (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10).
    I have already tried re-installing Adobe Reader and used the help to Repair Adobe Reader Installation but to no avail.
    All my pdf files open with Foxit so I don’t think that any are really damaged.
    However when I copy text from Foxit to Word letters are occasionally omitted (for example off might appear as of or fire as fie ). This may well be because Foxit is not as reliable as it should be and it happens even with the older files Adobe Reader can open. So I am not happy using Foxit as a solution.

    I have found a somewhat lengthy solution:
    First open the problem pdf file with Foxit.
    Then save it as the same name file in the same place, overwriting the original file.
    Now open the new file with Adobe Reader and the problem has gone.

  • Problem reading pdf file on ipad

    I emailed a pdf to myself to read on the ipad3. When I click on the file in the email it reads properly. When I use "open in" Adobe Reader or "open in" ibooks the file crashes the program. The file reads properly on my computer (PC) and was downloaded from a reliable publishing house. Any advice?

    Resolving this particular “problem” is not necessarily something that can be done with our software, especially if the newspaper in question is simply allowing you to download PDF files of the full broadsheet or even tabloid size pages used for printing. There is just too much content on such newspaper pages, even if just text, to allow for (1) reasonably page-to-page performance and (2) even a passable reading experience in terms of content layout, type size, etc.

  • Problem reading PDF files after the latest Adobe update.

    Althouigh I think I've followed the Adobe instructions, I continue to get the following error message and can no longer access PDF docs since the most recent Adobe update: 
    “Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser”. 
    And when I try to re-install the reader, my system tells me I already have the latest version of the reader installed...

    Uninstall Adobe reader and use Preview instead. Works much better and won't screw up your computer.

  • Mail Corrupts Files Sent Thru .Mac

    My girlfriend uses .Mac as her mail service. She uses Apple Mail as her mail client, I use Google/Safari. I continually get files from her that wind up in the Google inbox as NONAME, with the file extension stripped off, and/or the resource fork separated from the file. In nearly all cases these files are unusable, although I sometimes can force NONAME files that came from Word to open with MacLink Plus. Others are so corrupt it's impossible to get them open.
    I did some experimentation and found that files sent using the web-based .Mac mail via Safari do not have this problem. The exact same file from the same machine sent through .Mac using Mail has the problem described above. I know Google has issues with Mac files. What I don't understand is why a file sent thru the .Mac web interface is okay but files sent thru .Mac using the Mail client are not. Have tried "Windows-Friendly Attachments" on and off and it makes no difference in either case.
    I've seen lots of other posts about similar issues but no solutions. Anyone have any ideas?

    I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

    Hey guys,
    So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.
