Touchpad mail pdf attachment won't open

regular pdf downloads open ok but when attached to an e-mail an error pops up "can't read mime types". Any idea how I can make this work?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Right-click on your attached PDF. Select Quick Look Attachment. This opens the PDF with Quick Look in another window. You can scroll your PDF or jump to individual page icons.
Otherwise, the in-place, attachment scroll is history.

pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?

That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
3. I click Download.
4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
scroll bar to read all of the pages.
6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
7. I click the save icon.
8. I save the file to my desktop.
9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.

Pdf document won't open

Have a new Intel iMac w/ OS 10.5.2 and a pdf document won't open. I get the message"you can't open the application because it's not supported on this architecture". The pdf document will open if I use Preview. What's the problem? Thanks for any input.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.

My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?

I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

PDF file won't open with double click

Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!

Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.
==========================
OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4

Mail suddenly just won't open

All of a sudden the Mail program just won't open.
I click on the logo in the dock, the icon briefly flashes, then nothing.
I've tried double clicking the program through the Finder but still no response.
I've tried to find a way to re-install the Mail program without having to re-install a whole bunch of other programs but so far can't find away to do it.
Any ideas what the best option would be?
And... which came first: The chicken or the egg?
Peace to all!

Mail dumps a whole lot of files in several places in your user library folder which it needs to run. If these get corrupted then Mail might get confused and simply not open, which is what i'm guessing and hoping your problem is. Before you go messing around with such files, run a permissions check from disk uility and if you really want repair the disk. Please read the whole post then act accordingly.
The first file you want to look at is from your home folder (the house with your user account written under it) library>caches and the folder mail. just move it to your desktop and see if mail launches.
If no go up to the library again and open preferences folder and move the mail preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) to your desktop and again see if mail launches.
If this doesn't work then move the mail folder inside the library folder to your desktop and again see if mail works. This should in effect wipe mail and give it a clean slate, it will prompt you like the first time you ever set up mail for user account details, etc.
If this doesn't work, please tell me anything else you can that might help. If you have valuable data (attachments, certain content in e-mails) then i can try and help you retrieve them from the files you moved to your desktop, so don't delete them until you are 120% sure you don't need them.
hope that helps
report back soon

Mail 4.6 won't open

Word and PDF Attachments Won't Open in Mail

I bought my iPad2 in September 2011. have upgraded it to iOS5. I cannot open any PDF, .doc or .docx document. I have tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader and the Word documents in Pages or Dropbox but they won't open. All my apps are up to date.
What seems to be happening is that Mail is having difficulty downloading the attachment. I had a 4MB PDF attachment and when I tapped on the icon it began to download, which took several minutes. I saw the byte size change from 0 to 4MB. Then I tapped on it again to open the file but the byte size dropped immediately to 0 again and the file won't open. I tried opening in Adobe Reader but got the error "The document is empty (size 0KB)" . I have gone through several cycles of downloading the file and seining the seesaw from 0 to 4MB and back again. Just won't open the file.
Same problem when I tried opening Word documents in Pages or Dropbox. Also, I reproduced this issue with my colleague's iPad (version 1, iOS4, Pages).
Just to ascertain there's nothing wrong with the file attachments, I downloaded the same PDF in Outlook, placed it in my Dropbox, and opened it in the iPad without any problem.
Anyone else having this issue?

Have you tried pressing the attachment to get the "open in" message and open in VLC, iBooks, or other apps?

Pdf attachments won't open in Adobe Reader 9

After installing Adobe Reader 9, I can no longer open pdf files that come as email attachments. Even attachments I opened two weeks ago no longer open. Error message is from Microsoft Outlook and reads "Application not found." I've found Adobe Reader in my "All Programs" list. After opening the email, I right-click the attachment and save it as a file. Then, I can open Adobe Reader and browse to that file and open it successfully. But NOT by double-clicking the attachment in the email. Any ideas? Thanks!
P.S. I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader 9 Won't Download" then realized it was off topic, so I started another topic. Mea culpa!

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

I have a Samsung i760 with Verizon Wireless. I am running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I have installed Adobe Reader PPC 2.0, and the Reader application itself appears to work fine (appears in my Program list, I can open the program, etc.). I have my work e-mail (from an Exchange server)pushing to my phone, and my e-mail has been working fine. Every day, I receive a report via e-mail with a .pdf document attached. When I open this e-mail, and click on the .pdf attachment, it says "Downloading..." on the bottom of my screen, but the file never finishes downloading or opens up. The file is only "(12K)" according to the e-mail, so it should download fairly quickly, and then Adobe Reader should open up and display the file. Any ideas why this does not happen? It just says "Downloading" forever until I manually stop the download. Thanks.

Hey there,
Same I experienced the same problem, hopefully someone can help up...
