Unable to open PDF files in messages since iOS 8.3 update

i updated my iPhone 6 to the iOS 8.3 update and unable to open PDF files with in the messages app ... I was able to do this prior to the update.  Was the functionality taken away (still able to open jpg and ping files)?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

  • Since last update, unable to open PDF files from either banking site. The other (IE) works fine but I hate IE. I deleted newer versions and went back to older releases. No help, same thing. Checked settings in options. That is ok. What's up?

    Unable to open PDF files from my banking statements.

    I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general.  Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
    I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package.  So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem...  (I know that is true for me).   Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
    Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them.  That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

  • My bank statements are PDF read only. I cannot read them now, even though I have had no problem for the last year. My bank says it is an Adobe problem. Error message "Unable to open PDF file"

    I tried uploading the newest Adobe reader and it did not help. Any ideas?

  • Unable to open PDF files or Adobe Reader

    I am unable to opern adobe reader or download a ner version of adobe reader.

    Apparently the original software download was corrupt.  I tried to 
    "change" it through the add and delete software area of Windows, and  re-installed
    the software.  That seemed to work.  Debating on whether  to upgrade to one
    of their other products.  I could certainly use  fillable forms, signature,
    and modifiable documents. 
    Thank you for responding.

  • Unable to open pdf files on my IMac I have downloaded

    Unable to open PDF Files on my IMac I have installed the latest Adobe Reader still no joy when I try to open any PDF File from a site I just get an empty black
    page.

    Is it only ones you have downloaded? What about for example the ones that came with your iMac - you didn't give a model but mine has a folder "User Guides and Information" that has a number of pdfs. Spotlight should find it for you.

  • Unable To Open PDF File In Browser

         I am unable to open a PDF file within my browser using Adobe Reader.  Whenever I attempt to open a PDF file, I get the following message:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader selected for viewing PDF documents in browsers cannot be found at its installed location, it may have been moved or deleted.
    Please reinstall or repair the application (15:524)
         I have ensured that Adobe Reader is set as my default program for opening PDF files, and have downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Reader.  I am running Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10.
         I have attempted to contact Adobe Reader Support and was informed that the expected wait time was 3-5 minutes.  I have been holding for over an hour without any support.

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
    Translation:
    Adobe PDF-document
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
    The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

    What exactly means "unable"?  Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11?  If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

  • Unable to open PDF files with acroread

    Hi,
    We have a solaris 9 server with acroread installed on the server. When I log in to the server with any local user (root or any other user) I'm able to open the PDF files which are locally on the server as well the PDF files which are on NFS Share with acroread but when a user whose home directory is NFS mounted log in to the server, he is neither able to open PDF files which are local on that server nor the PDF files which are on NFS share with acroread.
    I have tried by restarting the NFS services and also by rebooting the server but the same problem persists.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks!!!!

    Hello Harpreet,
    As I understand,default Gtk+ version on Solaris 9 is 2.1.0. You must have a higher version of Gtk+ installed on this machine since you are able to launch Adobe Reader. Could you let us know if the version of this Gtk+ installation is 2.4.9. Also, does your NFS share contains home directories of a large number of users? Does "unable to open" means that Adobe Reader becomes unresponsive?
    If this is the case, you need to upgrade the Gtk+ installation to the recommended version i.e 2.6 or higher.
    Regards
    Sanika

  • "Unable to open project file" Error Message

    I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
    - only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
    - was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
    I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
    Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

  • Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

    I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9.  I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window.  It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file.  I have Windows XP.  I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9.  I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail.  Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

    Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out.  I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage.   Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
    Thanks to al that responded.  

  • Unable to open PDF files in IE 10

    I'm using IE 10.0.9200.17028 and Adobe Reader 11.0.07. When accessing any website in IE 10 and clicking on a link to PDF file, a dialogue box opens that prompts to open or save PDF file. On selecting any of these options, operation fails. Looking at the name of the file in dialogue box, it appears that file name has become _pdf instead of .pdf
    When I select Open, a blank IE window opens. On selecting Save/Save As, I see message ".._pdf file couldn't be downloaded". I cannot open PDF in IE 10.
    Issue cannot be replicated when I use Chrome or Firefox. Also, I'm able to open any PDF file from my local drive.
    In IE 10, I  have checked Tools > Manage Add-ons > Toolbars and extensions > select "Run without permissions" in Show section > Adobe PDF Reader. Its status is enabled.
    Any idea how to be able to open PDF files in IE 10?

    This is probably a fault with the specific pdf file. If this is the case contact its creator. Can you download pdf files available on the Adobe website?

  • Unable to open pdf files from weblinks

    Hi,
    I am encountering a problem while opening .pdf files through weblinks.
    The problem occurs both in IE and chrome.
    I am using Adobe Reader 9.1.0 version.
    The snapshot the error message is attached.
    Does anybody have a solution for this issue
    regards,
    -Amruth

    I got this! Recently discovered a solution trying to help out my mom who was having the same problem.
    First off, right click on the document and click "save as" to save it on to your computer (instead of just left clicking it to open it). Next go to where that file is saved on your computer and right click it again, choosing "open with" and then "choose default program..."
    Here make sure you have the Adobe Reader option highlighted and click OK, ensuring the option of "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked off as well. This should re-associate your .PDF files to open automatically with Adobe.
    HOPE THIS HELPED :3
