For a reason that my laptop has begun trying to open e-mail attachments with pdf and he can't, they are in word and open because of this ICAN t. All ideas

Because bad "file association" is set to open the .doc

Start button > Default pPograms > Aossociate a Type of file or Protocol to a program > wait loading > under NAME scroll down and look for .doc, until it clicks > everywhere, look under current by default, it should say either Microsoft Office Word if you have it, or Microsoft Word Viewer...
Obviously in your case, it says Adobe Reader > at the top, click on Change Program... > scroll down until you find Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Word Viewer > if you don't see one of them, click on other programs and find > until it clicks > click OK > click on close

    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

    Hi Alex,

    This is not related to Acrobat, Microsoft, you can see this problem with Microsoft Word is known: grant access file: cannot open the document: user - Microsoft Community it is a sandbox application. It restricts user with several workflow.

  • Registered blackBerry Smartphones not able to open PDF attachments

    Saving attachments (PDF-price lists) in a document on the SD card folder and try to open by navigating to them and select 'Open' from the menu ('Explorer' in the Media Manager), I get an error message that the file cannot be opened. If I open the file as an attachment in the mail application, it opens perfectly.

    Any suggestion how this problem could be solved? It is quite a critical function for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Uh, it works with vanilla simple PDF? Not the ones you have incorporated into a Word doc?

    No, it isn't. Who taught what was my OP. I tried the doc Word integrating just to see if the other files in attachment formats work. Aparently it's a PDF question.

    But I found here that he cannot work because there is a difference between the device handlesattachments vs how the files saved.

    "The reason for which you can display the documents attached but not local files, is that the integrated Viewer is based on RIM servers to process the PDF file and send a JPG of each page image. The PDF file is never actually sent to you, BB, just the JPG images. »

  • 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!

  • Open PDF attachments

    My form has a repeatable subform that contains a button two scripts to add attachments and a list (called "attachedfile") box that displays the files attached.  As the subform repeats there is more I can add attachments to their respective list boxes and buttons.  The script seems to work like a charm, but if I try manually view attachments I'm only able to see the last of them.  When I save the PDF file, the names of files in the list boxes disappear and I am only able to open the last file I've attached.  Here's the script for my button to reach, I hope someone can point out my problem.

    var

    myDoc = Event.Target;

    var

    sFile = 'MyFile'

    myDoc.importDataObject ({cName

    : ({ sFile}) ;

    var

    myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject (sFile);

    var

    sFileName = myDataObject.path;

    sub9. Table20.Row1.attachedfile.AddItem (sFileName

    , sFile);

  • Try to create, what I thought was a simple action to open PDF files and convert them to JPEG... but...

    Hello

    I am trying to create a simple action/drop that will open a lot of PDF files and make some resolution on opening and then save as a JPEG in a particular file.

    The problem is, when I create the action, the first step, when I open the PDF file, regardless of the name was in the name box, is it? Each new PDF opens with this same name and substitutes the following.

    Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

    Is there a way in Photoshop to the current name of the file open and do not use one that was the original file that the action was created from saying?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • open pdf attachments in Windows Media Center

    Sometimes I get e-mails with attachments in pdf. When I download these attachments, the Windows Media Center window opens but I don't know how to open the pdf file that has been sent.

    jerryedgar,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

    To open a pdf file, you must have the Adobe Acrobat reader software installed on your computer.  This is a free program that can be downloaded from Adobe here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ remember you select the operating system and the version that you have installed on your computer.

    Once you have Adobe Acrobat reader is installed, all you have to do is double click on the file name to open it.

  • 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.

    Hi, the text in tabs/forms of the form filled in and saved text doesn't appear when you click on this tab and field offices. When I go to another tab / filed, it disappears. I need to see everything at once.

    Auto-fill text fields is inactivated.  I have acrobat Pro XI / Win764bit. I can't find anything useful in the German speaking forums (there you will find only: save it on your desktop, open the with another program - not adobe, save it as a .jpg, use the preview and save/print pdf, open with photo shop and so forth but nothing works.)

    Is there a chance that the application overview on Mac has been used to complete and save the form? What you describe is a typical sign that it was like overview corrupts PDF forms in a number of ways. You can fix this in Acrobat if you have access to a blank form uncorrupted by exporting the form with FDF data and important in the blank form.

  • Update Acrobat Reader by recommendation of TB, now cannot open pdf attachments, unless I have 'save' on desktop & Add .pdf

    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.
