Problem viewing attachments

Hi Everyone - I've attached a PDF as a link from my Captivate 4 course. However, when I publish and test within the browser I'm not seeing the PDF. I'm not doing the upload myself, the system admin receives the zip and uploads. The PDF is included in the zip but is there a step that I'm missing or further instruction I need to tell the system admin?
Thanks!

Apologies if I switch gears here. Your last post was helpful and may have helped to resolve the problem with .txt files. But I just returned from a meeting and the customers have refined their requirement so that users can only attach files within the Office suite - ie Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.... So .txt files will not be a problem.
However, I just encountered a problem working with an Excel file as an attachment. I have no problem returning a .docx file - it opens just fine in Word. I can also save a .pdf file and have it open fine using View. But when I attach a .xlsx file, viewing it returns a .zip file! If I click Open, it breaks the file into several directories including _rels, docProps, xl, etc.... and several .xml files.  Nothing in the unzipped structure is viewable as an Excel file.
What would be causing this to happen?

  • Problem viewing attachments in Mac client

    Hello!
    I am currently having a problem with Oracle Calendar on the Mac. I have version 10.1.2.3.0.714 desktop client, and am connecting to a CorporateTime version 5.4 server. When a meeting is created, if there is an attachment to the meeting, I cannot view the attachment. It happens on all meetings, single or recurring. This happens if I set up the attachment on a Windows or Mac client. Windows versions of Oracle Calendar/CorporateTime can see the attachments just fine, even if they are attached from a Mac client. This is happening on multiple machines, and to multiple accounts. Thoughts? My instinct tells me it's because the server is a bit out of date - the upgrade is coming soon - but I'd still like confirmation if that is the case.

    When first created my rootCA I did it via Keychain Access and its Certificate Assistant, the second time around I used XCA which is a free GUI front-end to openssl.
    See http://sourceforge.net/projects/xca/
    I had previously looked at SimpleAuthority another similar tool but XCA was brought to my attention by a contact at Apple.
    I am not sure if just changing what I used initially from Certificate Assistant was the fix or the choices I made.
    I have set up templates for creating a CA, for creating a VPN server certificate, an ordinary SSL server certificate, a user certificate and also a code-signing certificate.
    In terms of flags, I used the following document as a guide as what to include and indeed an interim test setup using certificates created using the StrongSwan tool also worked for Racoon and Mac and iPhone clients.
    See http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/IOS_%28Apple%29#Certificate- requirements-for-iOS-interoperability
    I used those requirements as a guide when setting up the templates in XCA.
    It is possible with Apple's Certificate Assistant to add SAN records but not CRL records, even with openssl doing either is normally very painful, XCA by comparison makes this extremely easy thanks to its templates.

  • Problem with attachments and antivirus.scanners

    Hi!
    Problem is: Sending any attachment from Tiger (10.4.8) mail, all attachments are removed by a virus scanner at receiving end:
    This message was modified by F-Secure Anti-Virus E-Mail Scanning.
    Tried Windows friendly, text only, repair permissions, sending under other isp etc. no help.
    If this same message with same attachment is send from next mac with Panther, it is received ok.
    Receiving company is big and wont alter their virus-scanners and the problem clearly lies in Tiger.
    Any help welcome.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The subject of your message should have been "Problems with attachments and F-Secure antivirus" since this is not a problem with all antivirus software, only with F-Secure.
    Check this thread for a possible temporary solution when sending attachments to those who use F-Secure.

  • Is it possible to view attachments in calendar?

    Is it possible to view attachments on an iphone when using the calendar?

    As far as I know, not possible.  You can always install an older Mac OS X on your Mac using a separate partition.  See this tip:

  • Why can I no longer seemingly have the "option" in Yahoo Mail, to "View" attachments, and not just "download" them in my incoming emails?

    When I use IE browser to open my YAHOO EMAIL "classic" or "New" account, and I open an "inbox email", I have the option of "viewing" attachments, or "downloading" attachments.
    I used to have that "dual" option, seemingly, using Firefox Browser, which I prefer to use.
    Now, when I open my "Classic" or "New" Yahoo Email Account/s, with Firefox Browser, I no longer have the option, seemingly, to "VIEW" the attachments, but only the option to "Download" them, which I prefer not to do.
    I have tried this using the older version 3.6 and the new version 9 of Firefox with the same results. No "Dual Attachment Viewing/Downloading" option in Yahoo Mail anymore in either the "Classic" or "New" versions of Yahoo Mail.
    Can I correct this or change this back to the older "DUAL" OPTION of "Viewing" and/or "Downloading" attachments...or is this just the way the New FireFox Browser works.?
    This is only happening to me with YAHOO.COM Email Accounts.

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

  • How do I view attachments in gmail

    Attachments used to come up in their own window. Suddenly they started being treated like a downloaded file and there was an arrow on the toolbar. I did not like this method of viewing attachments so I deleted the arrow. Now the attachments go directly to my download file and I have to go there to read the file.
    How do I get back to my original way of viewing attachments?

    # Click the menu button ([[Image:New Fx Menu]]) and choose Customize.
    # Click "Restore Default"
    #Click the menu button again to exit
    #Now you should see the arrow again
    To open the attachments, click on the arrow then the name of the file.
    Or click on the arrow, then "Show All Downloads"
    I don't think there is a setting to open downloads in a new window as it was before.

  • Problem viewing some webpages

    Hey
    Looking for some help with my macbook. I have been having problems viewing videos on youtube and i'm unsure of the problem. When i try to view a video it comes up with this message.
    "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
    Also youtube doesn't look right. It looks like it is all in some kind of basic format with no graphics, ads, pictures etc. (Im not particularly computer savvy)
    I've checked my all the settings are correct in preferences, i've updated flash player and made sure all other software is up to date and still no joy!
    I had no important data on my macbook so i wiped it and reinstalled the OS and updated everything again, it still hasn't sorted the problem.
    Im unsure what to do next, any ideas would be much appreciated.
    PS i recently had someone's external hard drive plugged in to it, could i have got some virus from this??

    Thanks for the swift reply greg.
    I assumed it probably was not a virus but i thought i'd check anyway. Thats pretty much the reason i bought a mac.
    I checked the preferences and JavaScript was already enabled and all other boxes checked also. It only seems to be youtube thats the problem so far although i have not been on many other websites since.
    My internet connection is not particularly fast, i am using my college wifi network and it can often be very slow. I usually need to let videos load for a couple of minutes before i can watch.
    I have had the Macbook for about a week and have been using it regularly. The problem only started yesterday. I also carried out all my apple updates yesterday, i'm not sure if this is what has led to the problem??

  • Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.Upgrade to the latest version for full support. That does that mean exactly?

    Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.
    Upgrade to the latest version for full support.
    What exactly do I need to do?

    That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help  someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

  • Generic Object Services - View Attachments disabled for non admin user

    Hi,
    I am using SAP 4.7 and the attachments created using table TOA01 - archive link are visible to an administrator user through Generic Object Services toolbox while same View Attachments option appears disabled for other non admin users.
    Kindly help !

    Hi Neha,
    I'm sorry I don't have answer to your question but I wonder if you could help me.
    I'm looking at OSS note 530792 to configure GOS 'create attachment' option to copy the attachments to the archive server. currently, these are written to the SAP office tables SOC3, SOFFCONT1, etc and I want to use the archivelink and SAPHTTP and copy to the archive storage.
    Have you successfully managed to configure your system since you mentioned TOA01?
    In the same GOS menu I've activated the 'Business document' option and can copy these to the archive server by correctly configuring OAC2 and OAC3.
    I'll really appreciate of you could please share your knowledge.
    Thanks.

  • Problems viewing songs in Zen Mi

    Hi all!
    I just bought a Zen Micro but have problems viewing the list of songs that I have transferred from MediaSource to the Micro. After I have done a sync, the list of songs do not appear on my Micro at all. I only get an empty screen with the words 'selected music' on the screen but I can't select anything because the songs are not there!
    Do the songs take a while before they appear on the screen even if the transfer from PC to Micro is successful? Must I switch off and switch on my Micro before things work? Am I the only person who faces this problem? Could I have done something wrongly?
    Please help. Thank you!
    ijev

    mmm, have you been reading any manual or so?
    Sounds a bit like you are looking at the "Now Playing" screen, without music selected. In that case indeed, the screen says : "go pick some music".
    What you do in that case is use the 'back' button, to get to the main menu, and then navigate to your "Music Library", and then on from there.
    So either you still have to learn to use the user interface, or I misinterpretated, and there is something oddly wrong with your player

  • Problems viewing forms in reader - easy fix using adobe send?

    My colleagues and I were having problems viewing and printing data in forms.  Went to the help forums and apparently it is caused by someone filling in a .pdf form on a mac - it corrupts the file.  I saw a lot of fixes suggested including a javascript for acrobat, but I only use reader, not the full acrobat, so none of them seemed to work for me. 
    However, I think the easiest way to fix one of these forms is to use adobe send.  If I take the corrupted form and send it to an email address using adobe send instead of sending it as an email attachment, it seems to fix the form and make the data visible again.     Have done it with a couple of forms now and it seems to work. 
    Now my question is, does anyone know why this works?

    I don't think so. The problem there seems to be not being able to save the filled out form in Reader and needed to Extend features in Adobe Reader so that Reader users can save the form. This isn't quite the same.
    My client can edit the form and save it. The problem seems to be needing to edit the saved and filled out form AGAIN.

  • Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

    We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

    When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
    We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem viewing Japanese characters in Excel sent via Email attachment

    Hi All
    I am using FM '''SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'' to send out an e-mail attachment (Excel file). I am able to receive the Excel file successfully. However I am not able to display the Japanese characters properly in my Excel file.
    I tried to display some Japanese characters in my e-mail contents and I have no problem viewing these characters in my e-mail (I am using MS Outlook 2003). These statements becomes something illegible when I transfer it over to Excel as an attachment. In my Internal Table, these characters are displayed correctly as well.
    Anyone has any advice to solve this issue?
    Thanks for your replies.

    Hi Divya,
    refer to the link below:
    http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/email/attach_xls.htm
    The code in this demonstrates how to send an email to an external email addresswhere the data is stored within a .xls attachment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem viewing Apple website

    Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem viewing
    http://www.apple.com ?
    I suspect I know what is going on, but would like some
    verification that the page is trying to load a quicktime
    clip in H.264.
    Regards,
    genec

    I am using Windows XP Home SP2 and QuickTime 7.1.
    When I try to go to http://www.apple.com
    Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 crashes. So does Firefox.
    The problem is, I suspect, that my computer does not meet
    the minimum requirements for H.264.
    I do note that the requirements for Quicktime 7 are:
    Windows XP (got that)
    a pentium computer (AMD K6-2 500)
    and 128MB ram (have 384MB)
    I have downloaded the stand alone install for Quicktime 7.1
    I have the latest version of direct X and have checked for
    video driver updates (none available.
    So basically, I have done everything on the Quicktime
    support site and it will not work.
    I tried to view the WWDC, and got a Microsoft Visual C++
    Runtime Library error....Bufer Overrun Detected.
    I am working that issue with Microsoft.
    Any further light you can shed on this would be most appreciated.
