Reading pdf in Thunderbird email

See my title, I have it set In Thunderbird as the default. On the odd chance that you might have something to suggest, I mention this. The odd thing is that it works on 1 Windows PC, but not the other! I've entered it also in 2 TBird forums which hasn't answered it yet?

I guess there is no such solution. I think it's time for new project on Code Exchange platform
Best regards

How do I get Adobe to read PDF attachments to emails automatically?

You can't. If you could it would be a HUGE security bug, and would be quickly fixed.

Read PDF form from email attachment

Hope someone is able to help on this one...
We are using a pdf form at work to gather some feedback and the user will be submitting the form via email...
Using outlook 2003 I had a crack at writing a vba module to read the pdf form from the email attachment to update into an excel spreadsheet
Is it possible to read pdf forms from the email attachment with outlook vba? Or does the attachment need to be saved to a directory first?
I have in the past done a vba module to save the pdf form attachments to a directory and then using acrobat and it's in-built form data collection tool and exported as a csv, but this feedback form will be an ongoing thing that will be updated daily - and to minimise handling would like to run the outllook macro that reads straight from the email attachment instead of doing another 3 or so steps...
Below is the snippet I am using - it's a mashup of different code I've found on the net
Sub Feedback()
    On Error GoTo Feedback_err
    'Dim ns As NameSpace
    Dim objNS As NameSpace

    If objFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
    'If SubFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
        MsgBox "There is no Feedback emails in this folder.", vbInformation, _
               "Nothing Found"

    Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

    For Each Item In objFolder.Items
        For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
            If Right(Atmt.filename, 3) = "pdf" Then
                Do
                If IsEmpty(objExcel.ActiveCell) = False Then
                    objExcel.ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

                    objExcel.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).value = Item.Session.CurrentUser
                    objExcel.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).value = jso.getField("txtJobNo").value

                    objExcel.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).value = jso.getField("txtComments").value
            End If
        Next Atmt

Cant read PDF files in email

Hello all, I am trying to view a PDF file I had sent to me in gmail. When I click on the attachment it downloads the file but when I try to view the PDF file all the pages are white. I did a search on viewing PDF files and some posts said you can read PDF files in your emails while others said you have to buy a 3rd party app, im not against buying one I just want to make sure im not doing anything wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Not sure if there is something wrong with this particular PDF file, but I view PDF files sent as email attachments from within the received message on a regular basis. I exports estimates as a PDF file from an estimating software program that I use for my business so I can send an estimate as a PDF file to clients for viewing and printing.
I use a POP account for business, which doesn't provide for saving sent messages on the server, so I always Bcc: myself with the email to my MobileMe email address so I receive the estimates sent as a PDF attachment with my iPhone. This allows me to view the PDF files with my iPhone when a client calls to talk about an estimate, and I have a server stored mailbox for these estimates that I transfer the received email to for faster reference.
I've never had any problems viewing a received PDF file sent as an attachment by myself, or from others, so you don't need a 3rd party app for this.

I wish to use Thunderbird from Reader as Attach to Email

Hi I would like to send pdfs from Reader using attach to email without using Outlook but using thunderbird instead is this possible? I searched adobe.com for thunderbird but got no hits. I know I am very lazy because I know I can insert the file as an attachment from Thunderbird but there is an option in Reader to Attach to email. I have a new lappie and my trial version of MS Office runs out in 2 weeks but even if I buy Orifice my preferred email client is Thunderbird not outlaw. Any suggestions would be appreciated

You can change this from the registry, but careful when you edit the registry so you don't mess up things with the system
Start "regedit", and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail double click the (default) value and make sure it displays the correct client (in your case Mozilla Thunderbird). That did the trick for me!

How can I read my old POP3 emails on Thunderbird from a closed email account that Thunderbird first wants me to open?

For several years, I routinely used Thunderbird to download (POP mode) emails from my previous Centurytel.net email account. I thought that these POP emails downloaded onto my computer via Thunderbird would later be readable, even though I closed my Centurytel.net email account. However, when opening Thunderbird (to try to read any), the Thunderbird software insists on first logging into that (now defunct email account) by username and password. Of course, now that fails as that account at Centurytel.net no longer exists. Is there a way to still read such old emails by bypassing in Thunderbird the requirement to first log into that now defunct email account?
Thanks in advance for any and all help, Paul

Try setting Thunderbird to offline - look under File on the menu.
Now if you move the messages to Local Folders, you can delete the account in Thunderbird and you won't get any further connection errors.

My email don't read pdf files in iphone 5 s - HELP

my email don't read pdf files in iphone 5 s - HELP

Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open?

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites. I have the new Reader.

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites, as I was able to a couple of weeks ago. On websites I get the message, "Adobe Acrobat has crashed". I downloaded the new Adobe Reader and that didn't help. I don't have Adobe Acrobat, on Adobe Reader.

Windows 7, Google Chrome and the most recent Adobe Reader (just downloaded the same day). The problem is with Google Chrome, as Fire Fox works fine. I tried enabling and disabling what would read pdf files in Chrome plugins and found that the only thing that worked was to disable adobe reader and enable chrome reader, which is the opposite of what was reccomended in answer to other adobe forum questions that were similar to mine.

Latest Adobe Reader, PDF will not attach to email message

I downloaded the latest Reader Jan 2014, I can use PDF's fill in forms etc as normal. However when I go to attach the PDF to my email (Tried Hotmail/Outlook, Yahoo mail, Mail.com) once the file has been selected to attach a messagi in the window where the PDF normally appears reads; PLEASE WAIT, if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF reader may not be able to display this type of document.
The reader operates as normal, I have removed and reinstalled reader but it will not attach the PDF no matter how long you wait. Please HELP
OS windows 7

I do not understand as I have never had a problem sending PDF's by email prior to installing version XI, if I remove it and reinstall version X do you think it will cure the problem?
thank you

Why cant i read PDF email toake copies why is my pdf turned off or stop working

why cant I read PDF email to make copies why is my PDF turned off or stoppd working [email address removed]

You really need to provide some information if you expect anybody to help you.

I have to zip pdf files to email them to someone with a PC. The problem is they aren't smaller after zipping and I can't email them. I tried adjusting the Quartz filter to the Reduce file size. Now they're smaller, but the recipient can't read them. Help!

I need to zip pdf files to email them to a PC user. The problem is file size is not reduced.
I tried zipping them in Win 7 (which I use via Parallels 7) and sending them to the Finder to email.
But lately nothing is reduced. I tried choosing the Reduce File Size option in the Quartz Filter when I save the doc. The file size was reduced. However, the recipient could not read the file. Everything was blurry.
Is there a solution?

I am having some PDF sizing issues also, I am a BETA tester for TurboCAD Mac, and with the usage of (public) version 5, I have had some scaling issues. I have had (auto sent) 15 plus crash reports, (available as text) and had posted my scenario within the "lion- problems so far" article, so not to use up extra bandwith- or whatever- there are pictures there. I was not able to upload a PDF on site, and the staff @ Turbo CAd is working on it also. this is Lion specific new update, as I have posted many large format PDF's

Thanks for the helps!

E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...

Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?

I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service. This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment. In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document. You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
You can, of course, still attach it to another email.
