Suddenly, I cannot attach a pdf file I created to an e-mail...

Hi,
Hope someone can help me. I've always created documents in Pages (sometimes just a page or two, with or without graphics or photos), saved them as a .pdf file and then attached them to an outgoing e-mail mainly so that the recipient cannot alter the content.
However today for some reason, after saving the.pdf file, when I try to attach it to an outgoing e-mail (1 recipient only), I first get a drop down message saying "This file is not being sent in a secure format. Do you still want to send it ?" When I say yes, it takes forever to load until finally timing out and a message shows up on the e-mail where the file should have been saying that an error occured.
I had no problem doing this yesterday or ever before, and I even tried attaching another document that attached fine yesterday, but today I'm getting this new message and the file doesn't load.
Anyone know what's going on or how I can correct this ?
The files are relatively small: 1 MB or less (one is only 32kb), and I had no problem attaching them in the past, in about 5 or 10 seconds. Only attaching 1 file per e-mail.
Thanks for any advice.

It now appears that all attachments - .pdf, photos, documents, etc. are coming up with this message when I try to attach them to my e-mails, and then cannot be attached (time out error message)....
Could it be that my settings have changed somehow ? How do I checked what's changed and how do I fix this ?
So frustrating as I have some urgent attachments to send out.
Any help welcomed.

Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files

my Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files. The blue download bar appears and when download is complete, the wheel spins and spins and nothing happens.
Some files are password protected. until recently, the password window would open. Now it does not. The wheel just spins and spins and the file does not open.
AN email attachment (pdf) which I opened in Dropbox on my iPhone opens fine. Files saved in Dropbox from my desktop won't open. This is true for pdf and MSWord files.
I'm running iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Should that fail, you might delete and reinstall the app.

I have adobe X1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files

Please help, I have Adobe reader x1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files that I had received and saved.

pwillener,
I feel Tatiehead and I have the same problem. If I try to open adobe reader 11 I get: Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.
If I try to open "AcroRd.exe from the Adobe program folder I get the same message. If I open a .pdf file with notepad I get the same looking thing Tatiehead gets.. a bunch of gibberish. I have uninstalled, with windows, the cleaner tool, and a program called Revo uninstaller. I have used ccleaners registry cleaner to remove anything of Adobe Reader it could find. When I reinstall Adobe I get the same message. I have tried these in different combinations several times to no avail.
The only fix I was able to make was to install [reference to crapware removed]. I was able to read my .PDF files fine then. That was not what I wanted but after spending hours trying to find a fix for Adobe Reader that was what I accepted.
I believe Adobe will, at some time find the answer and I will keep looking here for something to show up but for now that is the only thing I can find for my customer.

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF. No error message but just does not print.
Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?

After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

Control mouse click the document and select View as icon.

How can I attach a PDF file to an email I am replying to?

Hi!
How can I attach a PDF file already saved on my iPad to an existing email I am replying to from my inbox??

If you have the PDF stored on the iPhone as a separate file you obviously also have a third party app for reading it, so you should be able to e-mail it from there.
If it's on an existing e-mail, forward the e-mail and just change the contents but include the pdf

I am unable to attach a PDF file from Documents

I am unable to access and attach a PDF file from Documents

I assume you are trying to attach a PDF to an email. I can perform this task several ways.
With a Finder window open and the PDF showing in that window, drag the PDF to the Mail app icon on the dock. This creates a new email and attaches the PDF to it. (PDFs tend to attach in inline view mode, that is you can see the entire document. To see it as a file icon right click on the PDF text and select View as Icon.)
I can drag the PDF directly into an open new email message if both the email message and the PDF file can be seen.
There's an icon on the Mail toolbar that looks like a paper clip. Click on it to get a file selector and drill down until you see the PDF. Select it and click OK.
Select Attachments from the Edit menu and choose Attach file to end of message

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

How do you attach a pdf file to a email in mailbox or gmail?

I am trying to reply to emails and attach a pdf file from my Dropbox on new iPhone 6. I only get option to attach a picture or scribble

Hello there,
Once you have created a PDF file with Acrobat.com, this file will live in your file organizer; if you select the file, you will have the option to download it. You can do this either while viewing the document (by clicking the "Download" button in the top menu bar) or from your organizer (hovering over the file name, you will see a little arrow; click it, and in the resulting menu choose "Download"). In both cases, you will be prompted to choose the location on your computer to which to save the file. Once you have chosen a spot, the file will be saved there.
Please let me know if you need any more information on this process.
Best,
Rebecca
