Cannot open PDF attachments in my email incomingThunderbird
In the last days I can't open PDF attachments on my incoming emails from Thunderebird. I just get contained usual with a gray and white page that disappears in say 6 seconds.
When I click on the icon on my desktop, I don't get the box "options", but once again the blank gray.
I deleted the program drive and reinstalled without effect.
I cancelled all my Add ons in case the problem was there but not solution.
I use windows 7 on a Dell's XPS laptop

Can you open the PDF docs? Otherwise, here are some things to try...
- Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
- You can open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
- If Reader opens in itself, try to disable the Safe_mode in the registry; Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
- It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Cannot open PDF attachments since the upgrade to Acrobat Reader DC
I was recently invited to upgrade my Adobe Reader software to the latest version: Adobe Reader DC. Since that I can more open parts attached PDF received emails. I wish I had not updated Adobe Reader - last time I did, I also had problems and had to uninstall the update and reinstall an earlier version.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what is happening when I either double-click the piece attached or right-click and select 'open '.
Thank you, James.
Check that Thunderbird knows the correct program to use.
Tools > Options > Annexes > Incoming tabContent type: Adobe Acrobat Document
To the right is going to be action - click action see a drop down.
See if there is a specific mention of using "Adobe Reader DC".
I know that 'use Adobe Reader' is used for older versions of Adobe Reader DC.Click on 'Other use' to see a more extensive list of options.
If you still can't find, click 'Browse '.
Then you can locate the *.exe to adobe specific dc and click Open
Click on 'OK's.Test again open a pdf document.

Read other people who have the same or similar questions and I tried their corrections. Has not worked for me.
Looks like something actually corrupted the file that actually stores the actions of the attachment.
It might be a good idea to run disk integrity check on your computer. Sometimes this kind of thing can be the first sign has no record other times it's just in the lap of the gods.

Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox
My wife machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking on a link to a .pdf file will open a new tab which will close immediately, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click and then save money, download the file and open it in Adobe Acrobat X. But this is not what I want, and not the way it was designed.
Internet Explorer 11 open .pdfs in the environment described above, in the browser, with no problems.
I followed all instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Instructions for Mozilla or Adobe can get operational.
As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine and re-installed Firefox and rebooted the machine. Attempt for opening yields .pdf to the same result, even after uninstalling and reinstalling everything. What happens here? Why Firefox opens a blank tab and then close it immediately? Block jump - rises is set to off, and blocking the windows blocker disabled.
My own computer that is running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in browser very well, without any problems.
Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out! Thanks for your time.

Hey,.
Try the following:
- Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
- Under the applications Panel.
- Find Portable Document Format (PDF) from the list and click on it to select it.
- Click the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select the name of use (in Firefox) PDF reader or preview in firefox.
If the PDF files are always downloaded instead of poster, try these solutions
Reset download actions- Open your profile folder:
Click the menu button
click Help
and select troubleshooting information. The troubleshooting information tab will open.
In the section the Application databases, click view folder. It will open a window with your profile files.
Click the menu button
then click on leave
Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
Then open firefox again and see.
I hope it helps.

Cannot open jpeg images in my email. They are deformed with a grey block.
Cannot open jpeg images in my email. They are deformed with a grey block. I see only a tiny portion of the upper part of the image. Tried to save the image on my disk hard but could not be opened. For example: If the size of the image, I'm saving about 800 K, I'll save the image (that I can not open) in a folder on my hard drive. When I check the properties of the image, it is much smaller, around 8 or 9 K. Spent an hour on the phone with HP, but couldn't find a solution. When starting my computer in Mode without fail and go to my email account, I can see the full image. Would appreciate suggestions in deca a system recovery. Thank you
Larry D.
Hi Larry,
Cannot open any jpeg full image. I'll help you with this problem.
1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
2. what security software is installed on the computer?
3. are you able to open any image with other file extensions?
4. what application you use to open the images?
As you can see the full image in safe mode, let's try the following steps.
Method 1.
A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Once you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 in the article to start on normal startup.
Method 2.
You can also try disabling the firewall and check if that helps.
Turn the firewall on or off Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
Method 3.
You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.
Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.
I hope this helps.

Cannot open pdf files. Acrobat 10
Cannot open pdf files. "Acrobat cannot send a DDE command '.
Thank you John. The problem has been resolved. I'm sure this has to do with changes of microsoft with one of their updates since I subscribe to Office 365. Somehow my Acrobat version 10 a program started working again after a week of being disabled. I use windows 8.1 and dread of having to go through windows 10 soon.

I can't open PDF files sent through emails?
I get a message 'Acrobat X 1 Pro Trial a expiré' I didn't know that I was using a trail?
What I pay a subscription for?
I checked your account details for the same ID you use here on the forums.
You bought subscription Adobe PDF package that is why you are unable to open a PDF file.
You should perhaps install Adobe Reader (free software) or buy a subscription to open a PDF Acrobat DC file.
Let me know what you want so that I can offer others.
Kind regards

Cannot open PDF files on Web sites, or when it is attached to the email!
Hello
My computer is running Vista and I had this problem for the last 2 years! I can only receive the PDF sent by one of the companies I work for. I can't open most PDF files sent by attachment or all the files on Web sites. I have Adobe 9 and Foxit Reader and it does not work with either. I tried to re - install Adobe and still no luck. With Foxit Reader that I can manage to open the PDF files sent from the company I mentioned earlier, but that's all. I would really appreciate some help... Thank you very much! :) xTry this: uninstall all the software that you have to display the PDF documents. Then try to open a PDF file. You should receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file". If you get the message that the file is "corrupt" or "not supported" means that you have another program or display of PDF files.
Once you receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file" download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.3). -
