Symbol at end of file name prevents email recipient from opening PDF

The special symbol looks like: ˥ However, there is a tiny little arrow that is on the end of the horizontal part that points left. It is located immediately after the file name, but before the .extension. I have been sending out resumes and the ones that appear with this symbol in the shadow box (the file name box that appears if you hover over the icon once it has been attached via email) appear as a blank (but gray) PDF once it is opened by the recipient.
What is this and how do I stop it?
Thanks

Please let me know the following details:
1. Which version of Adobe Reader are you using (You can check the same from Help > About Adobe Reader)
2. Which OS are you using?
3. How exactly are you attaching the PDFs to the emails? Are you using the Attach to Email functionality from within Reader? Or are you attaching them by yourself?

Setting up the File Name of email Attachment from Received File Name

Hello All,
I have to send the Received File in attachment to an Email if there is any exception. Here I can attach the file, but I cannot set the file name of attachment as the Received File Name. Is there anyway of doing this without using custom pipeline component.
Here I am using the Orchestration and SMTP Adapter.Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It might work if you use a custom pipeline component on your send port and in the Execute method populate the MIME.FileName property of the body part.
Something like:
public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext pc, IBaseMessage inmsg)
string filename = inmsg.Context.Read("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties");
inmsg.BodyPart.PartProperties.Write( "FileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/mime-properties", "filename);
return inmsg;
You can take reference from similar post here
SMTP - Setting attachment filename
Anther good article with MIME is here
Setting attachment filename with the SMTP Adapter
For MIME case your SMTP message construct statement would be like below
multipartMessage.MessagePart_1= InMSG;
multipartMessage.MessagePart_2="This is message part2 as a string";
multipartMessage(SMTP.Subject) ="Email From Dynamic Port";
multipartMessage(SMTP.From) ="[email protected]";
multipartMessage(SMTP.SMTPHost) ="yoursmypserver.com";
multipartMessage.MessagePart_2(MIME.FileName) = "Attachment_Name";
multipartMessage(SMTP.SMTPAuthenticate) =0;
Thanks

Hi aadeshs
This problem is on my laptop running Vista ( Business) on Adobe 10.0 , for many years I did NOT have a problem with this . No forum Pages on this.
Also i would like to know how screen readers can better interact with PDF as my wife has difficultys on some email attachments on her laptop , again there seems no easy avenue for someone in her situation surfing websites and forums for Hours maybe ok ok for sighted people, but not if you are blind & use a screenreader. No Support Help from Adobe is available.
thanks

Prevent pop ups from opening in safari

Despite I prevented pop ups from opening in Safari in preferences; they still keep popping up. I installed two add block extensions but in-vain.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Prevent Mac users from opening a PDF form in Preview

When I create an AcroForm, it does not behave the same when someone fills it out in Preview, and when I receive the completed form back from them, some of the information in the form fields is missing.
Is there a way to prevent Mac users from opening the form in Preview? Or to give them a message that the form needs to be filled out using Reader?

You can't stop them doing it (except by standing next to their computer with a heavy stick).
You could consider having a large field on the page warning that the file is not to be used (or whatever), which is hidden using Acrobat JavaScript.
Be aware that we are now dealing with a very large set of PDF readers.
Included with computers: Mac OS Preview, Windows Reader.
Included with browsers: Chrome, Firefox.
Included with portable devices.
Anyone who gets a computer these days in fact gets a PDF viewer which is bad with forms. You need to give them a compelling reason to download extra software. (Or, frankly, give up on PDF forms. I think their day has passed for a general audience who could fill in a browser form).

How do I prevent a website from opening another window

A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
If not, why not?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
There are only two possible answers:
(A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
or
(B) It's not possible.
If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

"Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" - Interface with Kerio Connect 7.0.0 -

I'm in a regional office. Corporate uses Kerio Connect 7.0.0 for email. Today 5/7/10 I started having problems whenever I open an email of ANY type, I can view it in viewing pane, but double clicking it gives me the message "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window." NOBODY ELSE in my company has had this problem (I have had it happen a few times in the past, but not ALL emails like today!). I am on my own in a regional office, so guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this and it is not working. The only thing I can think of is that Firefox automatically upgraded to the 3.5 version I believe sometime last week, which is when I truly began to see the problem.
No wonder I have avoided upgrading! It seems to me that Firefox STILL has not corrected this problem.
I have seen multiple people as late as last week complaining @ same issue and they are reverting back to FF 3.0.
Sound like this is my only solution.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening

Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening on all three yahoo.com (classic, plus, and beta) email formats. When I click to open and view the email attachments, I no longer get the option to "Open or Save" this file, and it is automatically saved in my Win7 Download files.
This happened once before and the fix was to "X-cancel" an orange bar message saying that FF was blocking this file from opening. This message was located just under the top of the FF browser.
I do not see this message now.

Cor-el contributed the"Yahoo File" link to solve this problem. After reading and studying the info listed I went to FF "Applications" and changed the windowmedia audio/video from "default" to "always ask." And that was the fix. Now when I open an email attachment with a .wmv file, I click on "download" and then get the Option box of "Open or Save." Just what I wanted.
Thanks Cor-el

Hi,
gs_packinglist-doc_size = gf_count * 255 .
This is how I am passing the doc_size. In the above, gf_count is the number rows in attachment file that I am multiplying with 255 characters as I am passing attachment in contents_bin parameter.
Thanks and regards
