Open the pdf attachment

I bought a new HP with Windows 7 computer. I received several emails with an attached pdf file, but when I try to open them I get to the Windows Media Center instead. I downloaded Adobe Reader 9. Can you explain why I'm having this problem?

It is because the file association problem.

To resolve this problem, you must go to default programs in Windows 7 and change the file association of the PDF for Adobe Reader...

You right click on a PDF file, choose open with, select the default program and select Adobe Reader... make sure that the box is check before you click OK.

  • Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

    Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT & T/Yahoo Mail translates "a file has been downloaded. Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and earlier versions. Go to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems like it might be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies), but this has not fixed the problem. I disabled the read pdf and that did not help either.

    Some problems seem to be solved using DO NOT for old favorites.
    Use rather this link mail.yahoo.com as suggested by philipp's post under /questions/978924 #answer - 510272

    Hello
    Can you please confirm if this similar to other users who have reported issues downloading attachments in Yahoo mail. Can you please try this with Firefox in safe mode to see if that helps.

    1. Firefox has stopped downloading of attachments - 971042 #.
    2. Firefox won't download files - 978766 #.

    Based on your confirmation, we will check that and raise a Firefox bug if necessary.

    Thank you for your help

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    Thank you

    PROBLEM OPENING JPEG AND PDF ATTACHMENTS TO EMAILS: CANNOT RUN COMMAND.  GET HELP FROM COMMUNITIES.

    I went to communities and found this answer:

    I have done this and it does not solve the problem.

    ATTEMPT TO FIX N ° 2

    So I went to my Antivirus, Avira Antivirus program.
    and I changed:

    Configuration > CUSTODY > SCAN when READING and WRITING > USE FILE EXTENSIONS LIST >

    And here, in the list of extensions of files to analyze and prevent, I deleted the list: JPEG, JPG, PDF.

    This does not solve the problem.

    FIXING NO. 3

    I also run the new MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS BETA.

    went to MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS (BETA). SETTINGS > EXCLUDE FILE TYPES > and added *.jpeg and *.pdf

    There was no change, when I tried to open the PDF attachment, I always received: "command failed implementation.

    FIXING NO. 4

    (By the way, I have nothing better to do in my office on Monday morning held that fix this bug for MSFT).

    I removed IE 8 on my system and actually removed all IE from my system, I'll stick with Mozilla.

    No change.

    CORRECTION ATTEMPT N ° 5

    I finally found an electronic bulletin board and followed the suggestions to save the file to my desktop and then
    Open with Adobe and it worked well.

    WHY CAN'T I OPEN JUST JOINED MS MAIL?

    OK, I found another thread with an answer that works.

    Why this answer doesn't work, I have idea of NF.

    Instead of opening the e-mail from a shortcut program, on the desktop and open the e-mail program on the start menu to:

    Go to: all programs, then select Microsoft Mail.

    Then the attachments will be opened.

    It worked for me, it's worth a try.

    Good luck to you.  I know that's no fun.

  • Once I updated to Firefox 11, I can't open the pdf files. It's more the computer, snow leopard and lion and more than one Web site.

    I've updated to Firefox 11 and now I can't open the PDFs Online. This has happened on more than 1 computer, using the two OS 10.6.8 and OS 7.0 and on more than one Web site. I tried to uncheck "block pop-up windows" in preferences, but which did not help.
    When I use Safari to open the same file to pdf, they open fine. Everything worked fine with my Firefox until I did the upgrade.

    I prefer to continue to use Firefox, but I can't understand the root of the problem.

    Has anyone else had this happen as well?

    Thank you, gentlemen, to find a "solution" to this particular behavior of Firefox. It is really curious that even if the screen is blank, you can indeed save the .pdf Ghost and then open the saved file to view. What is amazing to me is that this issue does not seem to be what makes the hit parade of the problems currently experienced Mozilla. Not everyone will be willing to do a research project extended rather than leave the ship for Safari, etc..

    Hi koolcam,

    PDF files are opened with an application called Adobe Reader. You have installed on your PC? If not, then download it for free from this link:http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/

  • Windows 8 - How to open the PDF documents and start application Menu choices in the Office of current work?

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 Professional.

    A question that I have, is that whenever I try to open a PDF document, it always opens in a new window dedicated, with a totally black background.

    Is it possible to open PDF documents on the desktop, so I can see the content PDF, on the same page as all my other apps open?

    Under earlier versions of Windows, can I go to the start menu, then select all applications, and they are listed in the form of office, as all my other applications already open.

    In Windows 8 Professional, I have not found a way to reproduce this behavior again!

    It keeps taking me to a completely different screen.  The one who looks like he could have been created for use with tablets.

    I hate this behavior on my regular PC and want to know if there is a way to use the old and classic views.

    I don't want to open the application menu in a separate window.

    So, two questions: 1) is there a way to open the PDF documents in the current working window?   (2) is there a way to disable the display of screen separate application and return to the old start menu request window, in the current working window?
