Problems opening attachments from outlook

This week I have been unable to open attachments from Outlook 2010. I use Firefox as my browser and for some reason when I click on an attachment it is downloaded into Firefox. This has only just started to happen. If I try to open a PDF document I would
expect it to just open as a PDF rather than a Firefox download. How can I resolve this issue?

Hi Tweek,
Might be you are working with disabled attachment preview option. Follow the given path and turn on it:
File >> Options >> Trust Center >> Trust Center Settings (under Microsoft Outlook Trust Center) >> Attachment Handling
If the above solution does not help, then change the default program for opening attachment. Make a right click on the PDF Document and select
“Open With” option. Choose the default program and set it to as
“Always the selected program to open this kind of file”.

Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Performance Problems (Open PDF from Outlook)

Hello all,
Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Multi Language version was rolled out to several hundreds of Win XP SP3 client machines.
Now users start reporting that Adobe Reader starts very slow. Most users complain that opening a PDF attached to an email in MS Outlook takes very long (10 sek up to several minutes).
In some forums I found problems with PDFs in Outlook in versions before 10.1.1.
Does anyone has an idea what causes this slow response?
Is there anything we can test to come closer to the problem?
Thanks for help.

I do not have this problem with Reader 10.1.6 or 11.0.2 on Outlook 2007.
WhatI would do if I encountered such a problem: observe the process with Process Monitor. This could give me some clues what is going on, compared to an earlier Reader version that did not cause this problem.

When people text me pictures to my iphone5, I can not open them. This was not a problem until I downloaded iOS 6.1.3. I also can't open attachments from e-mails sent to me on my phone.

Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
If that does not improve try a restore

Cannot save attachments from outlook to My Documents.

At the company i worked for, there is a problem with saving attachments from Outlook in to My Documents.
Info:
Outlook 2010
Exchange Server 2007 (CCR Cluster 1 HUB and 2 MBX)
Redirected My Documents
File Cluster (Windows Server 2003 Ent)
All the people using Outlook working at the company can’t save their outlook attachments to the My Documents
(which is relocated to the homedir folder on the file cluster )
anymore.
The strange part here is, that the attachments are saved to that location. Only a notification pop-ups in outlook
and says, that the attachment can’t be saved.
L
When i open the My Documents and tried to save something, there is no problem.
The problem occured spontaneously,
we can’t find
a solution to fix it.
On the file cluster the security rights on the profile
and homefolder are
correct, nothing changed.
Yesterday I updated both Exchange nodes and did a failover and rebooted the passive node.
The problem still exists, when people tried to save there attachment into My Documents it keeps popping op.
When the people save there attachment on the Desktop, than there is no warning.
Sorry for my bad English, hopefully someone can help me.
Kind Regards,
Arie

Hi,
This issue can be caused by Protected View settings in Office prevent saving E-mail Attachments. Please try the following steps to check this issue:
Open an Office product such as Excel.
Choose File > Options > Trust Center
Click “Trust Center Settings” Button
Choose Protected View in left side selection pane.
Check appropriate check boxes for Protected View settings.
Click OK > OK.
Close and Open Outlook.
If this issue persists, please let me know.
Best Regards.

Can't open PDFs from Outlook Access denied

Unfortunately - this happens with Outlook generated messages on occasion. Sometimes even Entourage can't cope. I find that the Gmail web interface does a pretty good job of dealing with messages that nearly every other email client fails with.
Equally, there are occasionally problems for Outlook users when they receive messages from Thunderbird users.
I am convinced that the problem lies in Outlook, and that there is little you can do about it.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Perhaps I am wrong.... (hint for someone else to come in with a solution).

Firefox 4 hangs when removing attachments from Outlook Express email

When I open an email in Outlook Express 6 (Windows XP Pro) and try to drag & drop an attachment to the desktop with Firefox 4 open in the background, my computer hangs. This only happens when FF4 is open - I have no problem removing attachments with IE8, Chrome 10, or no browser open. It is repeatable (even after reboot) and it happened with every attachment I tried so far (PDF, JPG, & RTF)
I don't have to release the attachment - it's locked up as soon as I start dragging it. The cursor stays a slashed circle even when hovering over the desktop (as opposed to it turning into a box with a "+" when FF4 is not open).
When frozen, my CPU is pegged at 100%, which is split between 2 processes - firefox.exe and msimn.exe. I can kill the Firefox application in Task Manager, but it takes awhile (including dumprep.exe after firefox.exe is terminated).
The only Add-ons I added was Acrobat X, Flash, and AdBlock Plus. I tried disabling AdBlock, but that had no effect - it still hangs.
Any ideas? Can anyone else repeat this on another Windows XP / Outlook Express computer?

Reader XI - Cannot open PDFs from Outlook: Internal error occured. Access is denied.

I have a user that when they try to open a PDF from Outlook they get two errors. An internal error occured, and Access is denied. I HAVE tried everyone's solution of unchecking 'Enabled Protected Mode' in Adobe > Edit > Preferences...but, this has NOT worked. The user is currently running Windows XP and has Outlook 2010. The attachments DO open if you save them to computer first, or if Adobe Reader is already open. Please help. Thank you.

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

Printing attachments from Outlook PDF package

I'm working on a project for work trying to print the contents of several imported pst Outlook archives. I've created a pdf package from the e-mails using the built-in Adobe toolbar in Outlook. I need to be able to print out the e-mails with attachments (and there may be several attachments per e-mail) in order, but can't figure out how to print the attachments at the same time. I can click on the attachments manually, but doing that with thousands of e-mails is out of the question. Is there a way to print out the e-mails in order with attachments using the pdf package file created from Outlook?
P.S. I've used "Print Tools for Outlook" but have had problems with it not printing e-mails and not printing all the attachments. If anyone can point me to a program that can work, I'd be glad to try it.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If your Curve is like most BB's, then PDF's are not natively viewble on it. When PDF's come in as an email attachment, they are viewable via the email attachment service. But all other means require a bit of additional software on the device. The To-Go apps that come free with most BB's do not handle PDF's...the $$$ premium edition does handle them. Plus there are other PDF add-ons (BeamReader?) that are cheaper (so I hear) that also handle PDFs.
Basically, since it's a Calendar attachment, the email attachment service is not invoked -- hence it is unviewable without something added.
Hope that heps!

Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
Any one any ideas.
Thanx in advance.

Hello
It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

E50 Problem opening attachments in Mail For Exchan...

Hi,
I am helping out a user at our office with a Nokia E50 and we can't manage to open/save attachments from emails.
If we try we get an error message explaining that there's a problem with the connection. However downloading mail works flawless so there shouldn't be any problems with the connection.
Other users with other brands / models does not share this issue so there should not be any problems with server.
The phone is using the latest stable phone software and Mail For Exchange 1.5.0.
Any suggestions?
/Danny

Not sure why you can't add attachments other than by dragging onto a new Mail window, but you might want to make sure that you have Windows-Friendly Attachments selected in Mail's Edit menu. Also, clicking on the attachment in the body of the email and selecting 'view as icon' sometimes helps recipients receive the attachment.
On a general note, sometimes Mail's handling of attachments is lacking, in my experience - especially when sending them to PC-users. Most users don't seem to have a problem but some do. The only way I have managed to ensure that Mail handles all attachments as hoped and ensure that recipients have no problems with them is to install the paid for plugin called Attachment Tamer. You can run it in demo mode to test it before deciding to buy: http://lokiware.info/
(I've no connection with Lokiware, just happy to recommend their software which I have used for some years).
