TS1506 I can't open pdf attachements in my email from outlook on my iphone

How do I open pdf attachments in my email on my iphone

here is what is supposed to happen...
an e mail attachment is usually shown as a icon at the end of the e mail.  If you touch it, and if it is a file type that the pad can handle in preview, it opens and you can read it.  and example would be a word document.
If you want to do something besides read the attachment, you need an app.  If you touch and hold the attachment you will ge a prompt called "open in", and any apps you have that can deal with that file type will ber lsited, you pick the one you want to use.
Sometimes there is no app on your machine to open a particular file type.  You can go to the app store, and search for that file extension, and frequently find an app that will deal with it.  Windows .wmv files are an example.
Lastly, there are some file types that the pad simply will not open, and there are no apps to be had either.  Flash attaments, i believe the extension is swx, cannot work on the pad.
so - when you get an e mail with an attachment - what happens when you touch it?

  • Can't open PDF attachment in e-mail sent from Outlook, says I need to save first, how?

    Cannot open PDF attachment in webmail sent from Outlook, says I need to save first; how do I save the link?

    Looks like another user asked similar question with over 600 views and no replies ... hmmm.  When I click on the attachment, it says I must save it to my disk; with one button mouse just click once and save?  I've tried dragging and saving the attachment to word doc but opened up with a page of garbled words/symbols,etc.  Any ideas are welcome.

  • I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  What can I do?

    I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."  What can I do?

    I'm using Mac Mail as my email client.  I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately.  It will open on a PC with no issue.
    Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up.  Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
    I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

  • Can't sync multiple emails from Outlook 2007 into Iphone

    It only listed the main (usually work) email, and does not transfer the home and other emails from Outlook. I can manually enter a second email and label it on the iphone, but that is not helpful as I have hundreds of business/friends with multiple emails in my Outlook... it does get home and work addresses...

    Hi,
    The workaround is to use Cached Exchange Mode or "Shift + Delete", as the user doesn't want to delete the message permanently, using Cached Exchange Mode is preferred.
    Based on my research, this issue is more Exchange 2010 related, and you mentioned the user also got the error from Outlook Web Access. This issue occurs after Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 RU6 or Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3 is installed.
    To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
    2803727 Description of Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3
    I hope the information is helpful.

  • Can't open pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

    Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT&T/Yahoo Mail results in "a file was downloaded". Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and prior. Switching to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems it could be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies) but this did not fix the problem. I disabled the pdf viewed and that didn't help either.

    i'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their server that makes certain old url formats dysfunctional - at least quite a number of other users have reported that... so if you have a bookmark for yahoo mail, change its address to the generic https://mail.yahoo.com/, which should redirect you to the current & working url

  • Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

    Hi!
    Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
    But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
    When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
    When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
    I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
    I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

    Did you try this?  It worked for me.
    http://www.darrenstraight.com/blog/2010/12/16/adobe-reader-x-there-was-an-error-opening-th is-document-access-denied/
    Open up Adobe Reader X
    On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
    Go to the general tab under Categories.
    Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
    If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
    Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

  • Can't open pdf attachment on Palm TX with Adobe For Palm download

    I downloaded Adobe for Palm OS (v. 3.0) to open email pdf attachments, but am getting error message: Attachment (not supported in this version) winmail.dat
    So can not open any pdf attachments.
    Tried getting mail via VersaMail and via m.comcast.net - same problem.
    Using Vista, Palm TX
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Adobe for Palm is an ancient program that cannot read raw .pdf files.  It only works with a desktop component that converts pdf files that the old adobe program can read on a Palm.
    Look at the free "PalmPDF" at freewarepalm.com.  It can read pdf files by itself.
    (I'd also suggest you delete Adobe from your Palm as it's caused a lot of problems for many users)

  • Can't open pdf attachment without saving first

    Whenever someone emails me with a pdf attachment I cannot just open the attachment. It makes me save the document first, locate the file I just saved in my hard drive, and then I can open it. I started having this problem earlier this week. Before, I could just click on the attachment and it would open. I have the latest first of Adobe. What can I do so I can simply click on an attachment and it opens?

    What is your operating system & version?
    What is your email client & version?
    What is your Adobe Reader version?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Ipad can't open PDF attachment

    Emails sent from Outlook are received on the ipad but the PDF attachment won't open. How can this be fixed?

    Looks like another user asked similar question with over 600 views and no replies ... hmmm.  When I click on the attachment, it says I must save it to my disk; with one button mouse just click once and save?  I've tried dragging and saving the attachment to word doc but opened up with a page of garbled words/symbols,etc.  Any ideas are welcome.

  • Can't open .pdf attachment to e-mail

    After straightening out the conflict between Reader & Acrobat (deleted Reader per suggestion on this forum), I now have a new problem.  When I double click a .pdf attachment to an e-mail (I use Thunderbird), I get the following message:
    "C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ADOBE.pdf could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
    I went to Preferences of Acrobat 9 std but couldn't find anything that seemed to relate to a helper application.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Turns out I found a note from Mozilla when this was a problem with
    reader that said to simply delete that preference for acrobat.  Then,
    when I click to open the .pdf file, Thunderbird asks me if I want to use
    Acrobat 9.1 and has a box to click to enable this to occur every time.
    It worked.
    If anyone else encounters this, here's the website containing the
    solution for both Firefox & Thunderbird.

  • Can't open pdf files that are forwarded from a iphone

    Our clients are sending in emails which a few of our users are viewing them on their iPhone. When they forward the message to other users the pdf files won't open. It gives an error message, "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". I've tried saving the pdf to the desktop then try to open it with no success and the same error message.I've also checked to make sure the Add-in is enabled.
