When I email a pdf to myself, I can not open it on my iphone. comes out as a win dat file.

comes out as a win dat file

What is your operating system?
Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

  • HT4528 I can read email (outlook) but if I get a response or subsequent emails with the same subject, I can not open them, I have an iPhone 5S

    I receive fresh emails from the enterprise server (outlook) but, if I receive a response I can not open that email or the original one.  Also my outlook calendar does not update to today's date and it does not sync to my enterprise server calendar.  All of this used to work fine before.

    Have you consulted your IT department about these issues?

  • My ipad 2 says its connected to the internet but when i go onto safari it says safari can not open page because its not connected to they internet yet i have full connection

    I have tried resetting internet settings but didnt work so what can i do

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

  • I suddenly can not open pdf files. I have had Adobe Reader Xl and just ran into this problem

    I have had adobe reader xl for some time and suddenly can not open a pdf file. I received an email yesterday with a pdf attachment which I can not open. What could be my problem?

    Hi Pat, My operating system is Windows 7, Home Premium Service Pack 1. My email client (email Provider is Cox Communications - Cox.net).
    Can not in my post means I tried to open a pdf attachment to a email. I received  nothing happens. I do not get a blank screen or any messages. Nothing Nothing happens at all. I can click several times and get no response.
    I did discover that by clicking on the Adobe Icon on my deskt topi get an Adobe box containing  "Do you want to allow changes to your computer. I click Yes and get to my computer where I can find the above mentoned attachment which I think I had previously saved. I then get the attachment whick I can print. This may be printing from my hard drive - I am not sure. I think I could go through this procedure every time I want to open a atachment but it seems a long way around.
    Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about removing Adobe and reinstalling. Maybe there is a corruption to my Adobe file.

  • Can not open pdf in iBook

    I download the User manual for iPad2 and it apaers in iBook/pdf library but I can not open it again in iBook.

    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad. See if the pdf will open then.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If it still won't open, delete it and download it again. From the bookshelf view - Tap the edit button - tap on the pdf to select it - and then tap the delete button in the upper left corner.

  • HT5663 why I can not open an icloud email attachment with iworks application in icloud directly?

    Hi,
    I like this iwork solution in icloud, but the integrity might be developed more. If I got an email to my icloud inbox, I can not open it with iworks application but it will be downloaded instead. It would be very useful to be able to open an attachment onsite, using one of the iworks app.
    thanks

  • IOS 8.0.2 iPhone 6 can not open photo or pdf attachments in email

    After the photo (jpg) downloads, all I get is a grey screen with the photo name.  Same as when I tried to open a PDF attachment.
    Is there a security setting or something I missed on the phone?
    The files are fine, opened everything on my iMac and MBP.  Just can not open on the phone. Attachments are being sent through email.

    Hey Mrstudio,
    Thanks for the question. Are you experiencing this issue with an Exchange account on your device? If so, the attachment may now be downloading fully. Check out the following resource:

  • When I attach a document and send as an email, non apple users can not open it?

    For my business I have to send invoices to customers, When I attach the invoice to an email non apple uses can not open the file? why is this.
    I have tried to copy and paste the invoice to body of email and when they get it it appears as a question mark in a box?
    how can I fix this?

    Couple of thoughts.
    When you have the Mail compose window up, there should be a row of icons along the top right side. One of these is a paperclip for attachments. Click it, and check the Send Windows-Friendly Attachments. This will help for non-Mac Mail recipients. Ultimately, it will be their email system, and how it is configured that will determine how their attachments arrive — not you.
    Send your invoices as PDF, not Pages, or Word content. Since you don't mention your operating system or release of Pages, I will cover the bases here:
    Pages '09
    One can use the Share menu to send a PDF via Mail. It does the export to PDF, opens Mail, and attaches the PDF. (Broken in Yosemite).
    File ▸ Export ▸ PDF…, and then drag/drop the PDF into a Mail compose Window. If document size, right-click on it and choose View as Icon.
    Pages v5
    On the right-side of the Toolbar, there is a Share icon. Choose Send a Copy > Email > PDF. This auto-attaches to a new Mail compose window.
    File ▸ Export To ▸ PDF… . Same as Pages '09, second bullet.

    Hi Eidda,
    This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.
