  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

  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:

  7. click on OK.
   
  This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.
   
  If you need a drive:
  
  Adobe Reader
  http://get.Adobe.com/reader/
   
  Foxit Reader

  Adobe is more "well known", but Foxit is much lighter and my personal preference.
   
   
   
   

• 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 can I get Adobe to open pdf attachments rather than the word being the default opener is not working?

  Some sent PDF Word attachments automatically select instead of Adobe for logon attempt. Have to save it on the desktop and redirect opening Adobe Reader.

  On the menu bar of Thunderbird
  Tools - Options - Accessories - incoming tab
  (If the menu bar is hidden - press Alt)

  Look for the entry in application/pdf pdf
  and change it to your favorite pdf reader.

• 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.

• Laptop opens pdf attachments and no word.

  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

• 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!

  (copied from this thread - it's a different question, then OP has)

  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. »

• 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 tab

  Content 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.

• 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.

• Windows Live Mail and pdf attachments don't open

  Windows 7 and Live Mail are not open pdf attachments. Technical support from Microsoft and Adobe will not help me so far.
  I was really sucked by the TV commercials for upgrade to Windows 7. How f... ING mess!

  Windows Live Mail is unable to do so. I suspect a spam or your AV program, but the best place to ask is here.
