PDF attachments are appearing as attachments in WORD doc
For some reason, my Gmail program shows PDF attachments (that have been created using Adobe) as a WORD? When I double click on the attachment, it tries to open in WORD and shows just gibberish. Yet, if I don't try to open and save in MY Docs and then move Adobe and open it, it works fine. This just started in the last month or so. It's the same with every single anchor.
In WIndows 7 or Vista go to control panel > programs > by default of the programs > set Associations.
Scroll the list to .pdf. Cick change program and set it to Adobe Reader. Click OK.

Is there a way to search through pdf you are looking for a few words "proximity" to the other?
I started this question in a forum of Adobe Reader, but am reposting here.
In a single pdf, I try to find places where both words appear near each other. The document is structured with Adobe Framemaker manual. The words are 'context' and 'element' (I'm trying to find out what "context" means in EDD in Framemaker).
Using the advanced search on Acrobat Professional XI, but the answer is the same in Acrobat Reader of XI, i.e. no results.
Put a comma between the words unchanged results.
One of those choices don't change the results:
-Matches one of the words
-Match the Exact Word or phrase
By clicking on the Options show more adds a nearby area, but I was unable to make the selectable zone (it is grayed out).
Although I am only interested in the results of a pdf, I was told to select an entire folder. When I choose a directory, additional options appear, but the close button is still not selectable.
What turns the button on proximity?
Is it possible to change default Acrobat so that the more Options is always on?
Thanks in advance.
Proximity will become available if you use an index (Tools > Document Processing > full text with catalog index), you can create with Acrobat Pro for only this document if you place it in a folder itself. You can also select "match all words" or whatever the exact wording is in the Advanced Search Panel.

I have several hundred investigations that I need to combine them into a single document. Can I use this software to scan, make a pdf file, then convert the pdf into a word file that I can copy parts of it and paste it into another document?
Hi mommajayne,
You will need Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents to PDF format.
You can also combine and edit PDFS in Acrobat.
For more information about Acrobat, please see this KB doc: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/faq.html
Let us know if you need additional assistance.
Kind regards

Cannot view pdf attachments in mail apps
6 p iPhone / iPad 2 Air
the two running iOS 9.3.1
Previously, when I typed on an attachment in the Mail application I could see it. Now, it downloads an image of the first page (which means that I don't even have the option to open in a pdf reader. All other types of attachments can be previewed as always (including pictures and spreadsheets.
This happens also to some extent in other email applications, but the behavior is different - sometimes it is just an image, sometimes the entire pdf downloads but opens on a placeholder indicating "PDFReader File", because of its size, on a gray background. At least I can then open it in another application. Applications that behave in this way are Outlook, shipping and air mail.
Spark works as we - I can view pdf within the spark files without opening in another drive.
I tried to remove spark, in case that was the issue, but nothing has changed.
All pdf readers are normally (Expert PDF and Documents). I tried to remove the material because it was a recent installation, but it also makes no difference.
This happens on iOS that I use and my husband 6 and iPhone devices.
What I noticed in the mail when I type to download the iBooks fleetingly icon appears and I wonder if it has something to do with it.
I tried a few other things, looked into the settings, rebooted etc etc, but nothing helped. He has only started a couple of weeks so wonder if something is introduced in the last update.
Thanks a lot if you can offer any advice or next steps.

This happened on my devices also. I have seen one our help nothing helps.

Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?
Hello
- Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
- Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
- Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
- Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
- In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
- Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

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.

Can't print pdf attachments to emails
I use Windows 7 and Gmail on a laptop Samsung. All of a sudden, I can't print pdf attachments to emails. I have to save the attachment and then print that is very effective because I don't always want to save the attachment.

Maybe you could try the Google support forum. I found this:
"A lot of weird problems with Gmail web interface is due to a corrupt copy of the code loaded into your web browser and can be solved by"clearing cache and cookies". Have you tried yet? »
"In Internet Explorer, you must manually add google.com to the compatibility view settings. If you do not have the menu bar, right-click on top of bar area and select this option to display the menu bar. Then, go to tools > compatibility view settings. Add google.com to the list and make sure that "include lists updates Web sites" is checked. Restart the browser and the "print" key should work now.
Google uses Google Docs when you click on 'see' an attachment rather than download it. For some reason when you click on the print icon on the display, IE chooses to crash without error. Once the domain is added to the compatibility view, the "print" key brings the printer friendly version of the document and displays the printer dialog box. »

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. »

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

Bamboo spark app affecting pdf attachments
Bamboo spark app affecting pdf attachments
That really doesn't tell us much. Whatever you want to say that it is "affecting" pdf attachments? What you trying to do? What happens when you try? You have what troubleshooting steps already taken?
Without any real information to go, the best advice I can thing of is, if the application is not crucial, remove it and contact the developer and let them know that there is a problem.

Images high resolution that I import in indesign appear in a very bad definition on-screen and when exported to pdf, they are still quite far from the original. Perhaps to address these problems?
The bad export quality could be linked to the pre-selection of PFD you have chosen. Some of the presets are designed to re - sample images to make a smaller final PDF

I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?
Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.
