You do not open PDF files in Word. You need a PDF reader.
 
Create a file association.
 
1. download and save the attachment to the office.
2. right click on the saved file.
3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
4. click on: choose [default] program.
5 Foxit or Adobe select:
6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
7. click on OK.
 
This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.
 
If you need a drive:
 
 
Adobe is more "well known", but Foxit is much lighter and my personal preference.

    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

  • How to open PDF documents in the same window?

    Prof. Acrobat X / Windows:

    How to manage open PDF documents in the same window?

    When I open more than a single PDF docs and a second, third,... window opens, each document is opened in a separate window.

    In previous versions (Acrobat 8 Prof.), all the documents were opened in the same window.

    This is especially useful, because the windows are not spread over the entire desktop, and with ALT + TAB I can change between the documents, if I don't have that one window.

    Thanks for any help.

  • The button action to open PDF attachments

    Hello

    I have an interactive form and want to create a button that will open a PDF file that has been added as an attachment. I know I could host this attached PDF somewhere and then use a link or something but I want the user to be able to use this PDF file locally. So I'm NOT looking for a way to add attachments, I'm looking for a way to OPEN attachments existing PDF without the user to open the attachments Panel.

    I can't find a way to do this and I think I have to use a Javascript action to do this.

    any help would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    In fact, no script is needed. There is a built-in way to do.

    Add your button object or a link and then add an action "go to a page view". When the floating window with the 'Set' button will appear, just to double-click the attached file and navigate to the location you want to link to, and then press the Set"" button. Done everything!

  • How to open PDF stored on the desktop

    Why FF refuses to open a PDF file that is stored on a PC?

    Thank you very, very much for your help and your patience!

    I started FF with a second profile and now I can open PDFs in firefox eeseaaallyyy - what a relief. I don't know which setting is wrong with my FF profile primary, but I it will rebuild and then things should be good - thank you again for your help and your patience with a dilettante technique...

    Now have solved this issue:

    Why the FF search feature isn't able to access PDF files from outside the application PDF? If anyone program interface and to make this feature available, this would create FF apart from other browsers, many more millions of miles... at least for me as a translator and researcher.

    What should be done?

    I hope someone is inspired to make a reality.

    Thanks again and good night!
