Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email.  I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

  • Why  will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
    The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

  • HT5953 why will it not open (it referring to the ibooks app on my macbook pro)

    my ibooks app will not open, not even load

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

  • Why will Preview Not open photos now?

    I'm a photographer and have used Preview to open and view photos for several months now. I did so two days ago, but now when I try to open any photo it says I do not have "Permission" to open the file and directs me to Preview>File>Permission.  I'm already listed to be able to read and write images, so I do not know the problem it's having.
      Any help would be great.

  • Why will FaceTime not verify my email

    I can not get the email , Id to verify to FaceTime

    I think we have a solution if you are not able to get an email address to verify correctly in FaceTime on your iPad.  If you go to Settings>General and then scroll to the bottom of the page...you'll see Reset Settings.  Select that and then select Reset All Settings.  Once you have done this you should be able to set up FaceTime normally again.
    This worked for us after hours of frustration!
    Hope this helps someone....

  • Why will Adobe not open pdf files in safari?

    In Safari, certain websites show documents as Adbobe PDFs, but Safari won't allow them to open. This issue does not occur in Chrome or Firefox.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

    For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
    I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
    However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
    I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

  • Why will itunes not open on my macbook pro

    i recently got a new charger for my macbook pro because my old one had stopped working, so my computer had not been charged for about a week or a little longer. once i started up my computer i noticed that it started to freeze alot and itunes would no longer open so i deleted the application folder and tried redownloading it and now it wont even show up in my recently downloaded file. i have an iphone so i use itunes alot. any ideas on what going on or what i can do to fix this problem??

    Yes, it asks me to download 10.6.3 but when i click update it says.  The update “iTunes” can’t be installed.  The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.  I have updated all other updates and restarted the computer multiple times with no luck.
