    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.

  • docx and PDF attachments does not open in mail

    After you have uninstalled Open Office and Foxit reader, I can't open docx and pdf attachments.  XLS open without a problem.  Associations have been created.  Latest Adobe has been downloaded.  When I click on the input box, the icon shows that the files are Word or Adobe, but the message says still no association of this file.  No RT clk. available at least that I've save it first to a different location, and then of course, they open no problemo.  Any ideas?

    For the PDF.

    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. Select: Adobe Reader.
    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.

    Repeat for docx files, but choose Word to open in.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Open a pdf document that has attachments inside on a mobile

    I have a pdf file with attachments on the inside, I'm opening on a mobile device.

    It opens correctly on my desktop, but mobile, attachments do not show.

    No idea why?

    Hi Willy,.

    We have received your PDF document by e-mail.  Thank you!

    We have reviewed your PDF document and discovered that two HTML files are fixed as annotations of the type "FileAttachment '.

    Here are two ways to attach files to a PDF with Acrobat Pro (for example).

    Method A: attach files and embedded files

    1. Open a PDF document.
    2. Open attachments navigation pane.
    3. Click the Options button.
    4. Select Add an attachment on the menu that appears.

    B method: attach files in the form of annotations

    1. Open a PDF document.
    2. Click the attachment in the toolbar.

    Acrobat Reader (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone) mobile application support embedded attached files (added using the method) but doesn't support file attachment annotations (added using method B).  We apologize for the inconvenience.

    If you have the desktop version of Acrobat Pro, you can perform the following steps to re - join the files using A method to avoid the problem of compatibility with mobile applications of Acrobat Reader.

    1. Open your PDF document with attachments in Acrobat Pro.
    2. Open attachments navigation pane.
    3. Select a file displayed in the attachments navigation pane.
    4. Click the Options button.
    5. Select Save the attachment to save the file on your desktop.
    6. Click the Options button.
    7. Select delete attachment.
    8. Click the Yes button to confirm the deletion.
    9. Click the Options button.
    10. Select Add an attachment to re - attach the saved to a PDF file.  (Alternatively, you can drag and drop a file on the navigation of attachment pane.)
    11. Repeat steps 3 through 10 for each file.
    12. Save the PDF document.

    In this way, the portable versions of Acrobat Reader can open attachments.

    If you do not have the desktop version of Acrobat Pro, you can try the free trial version of 30 days to see if it meets your needs.

  • 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!

    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
  • 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.

    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 '.

  • How to open a PDF file in Microsoft Mail - Version Microsoft Vista

    I ache to open a PDF attachment in an email sent to my email from microsoft.  Premium version of Windows Vista

    Thank you

    Microsoft Mail has not been in production for 15 years. Using the default Vista Windows Mail? Adobe Reader is installed? The attachment opens if you save it on your HARD drive? If so, then create an association.

    Save the attachment to your HARD drive. Right-click on it and open with | Choose the program. Find and choose a program that works, (Adobe Reader), then check the box: always use this program to open this type of file. This should allow you to open these attachments in the future.   Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]
