  • Open zip files attached to my PDF

    Hello

    in our company we are archiving old Lotus Notes mail - in databases with Acrobat Standard XI in PDF format that works very well. All attachments of mail will then find in the created PDF file.

    However, we only are able to open attachments .zip from the file PDF. Other accessories such as .docx or .xlsx are accessible without problem.

    I already read this has something to do with the philosophy of Adobes security which prohibits potential dangerous file types. But if I am the creator of the PDF including attachments then I want to and need to open my attachments.

    So my question is: are there workarounds or official means to get access to my zip attachments? Such as changing the settings during the creation or extraction of attachments using other PDF software?

    Kind regards

    Florian

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do in the PDF file that you create. This is a security feature that should be set on the installation of drive of recipients.

  • How can I activate the files zipped to attach to all my emails

  • I'm trying to get an e-mail from a zipped file mail folder

    Hello

    I copied and pasted the local_folders of the ...\appdata\Roaming\thunderbird\profiles\ < profile_name.default > \Mail folder profile in a different directory for backup purposes. I changed the account setting - directory local to point to the new location.

    It works great, so I deleted the original mail\local_folders and erased from the trash.

    Or rather it works great once. Subsequently, none of the directories were posted to them. I used tools of deleted file but could not recover the original Mail\local_folders. I get a zipped file with all of the individual records that have been confirmed in Local_Folders and in each of them the e-mails as individual .eml files. I put the folders and files unpacked in Local_Folders in the new directory and Thunderbird.

    Thunderbird has created a new local_folders.sbd in the folder mail with all individual records but no e-mail files.

    I think I have a problem of indexing, but it do not know what file in the profile to delete. Deleting messages-global - db.sqlite seems to the index of the trash, but not the dossier_local.

    I'll try to attach a doc with the screenshots.

    Thank you very much

    I think we can close, I found that the inportexporttools add when importing all the email from .eml to one folder at a time. Works very well.

    Maybe the file is not a real. ZIP file - try to download another. ZIP and save it - so go ahead and

    HOWEVER filename.zip will work.

    Download this small utility which is very convenient and comes in. ZIP format just to see if your. ZIP functions

  • How to 'Extract all' you should see when I right click on a zip file?

    When I right click a compressed file (zip), the command "extract all" does not appear. What I get is a message to Adobe Reader that says:

    "Adobe Reader could not open the attachment because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged." For all attachments in zip file, I get the same message. Why is this and what can I do about it?

    Oil dipstick

    It could be the problem with the associated application of type of .zip file. Check if .zip is associated with Adobe?

    In Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can check the file type as this.

  • Opening zip files downloaded

    I don't know if this is the right forum, I'm sorry if not.  I need help, but if you can help... lately, whenever I try to open a file of internet download it tries to open it with Adobe Reader, which causes me to get an error message: "Adobe Reader could not open" Multi - flowers.zip' because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example he was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).  How can I change the default program to open zip files? He used to work very well so I don't know how this has changed... very frustrated.  Help, please!  Thank you! I use Microsoft Vista

    Whenever you have a zipped file, you need to "unzip" first.
    If you right click on the zip, a pop-up box will appear. In this box, you will see an option that says "extract all "?

    If you have the "Extract all" option, click it. You are now 'unzip' the file zipped. Once completed, you can now open it the usual way.

  • Download of any .zip file or program causes the Crash

    (1) sometimes when a download is completed with a .zip file, immediately after Internet Explorer Startup 'windows' loading violently on 2s, little white, black. Now there is no mouse so not menu Manager or task or the possibility of restart begins. He not only put there turned off or unplug, rest, restart in safe mode.

    (2) sometimes if you download without immediate action that precedes, I'll go to my download folder in Windows Explorer and if the named file.zip#/ is there with success, then click left just to highlight or do right click to click Open, the same frenzy described above again.

    Now, I've noticed that the loading window, was after clicking to select this .zip file, what should happen on the Solution Explorer toolbar is the word "Extract" appears. Well, I get the Internet Explorer of the e icon instead. That's when I knew I'm in big trouble. If you don't touch the file with the mouse, then try clicking on the arrow next to the e Internet Explorer in the toolbar, the frenzy of loading will begin and continue until power off. It's the classes .zip file not just one, as I have tried a dozen different one is now in the last week or two. I have no malware or viruses. Where this kind of problem would be located?
