PDF file association not found in Live mail

If a message received in Live Mail on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer contains a PDF attachment, this attachment cannot be opened for Live Mail. The Word attachments and others can be opened.

When you attempt to open the part attached PDF, informed message that "this file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action...". "If the file is saved on the local computer, it can be opened normally, as the file association is correct. This is confirmed by typing assoc .pdf in a command window and reception of the answer ".» PDF = AcroExch.Document ".

How to open PDF documents from Live Mail is possible without saving them first.

Thank you

Ron Carruthers

I had this same problem, the idea of Bruce Hagen I tried and it didn't work. So I tried to know how to reset a file association using Google and someone, in response to a question, pointed at the Windows registry altogether different, more precisely the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section.

So I took the .pdf subkey in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, make a backup (export) and simply deleted. I then associate a random file of PDF of Adobe Reader again and guess what:
Now it works again in Windows Live Mail! Yoohoo!
Looking at the key later, I also saw that the content had changed, for example he says now a Content Type and in the "standard", there is "AcroExch.Document", like some came with 'assoc .pdf' in the command window.
This makes me guess that Windows 7 is perhaps a bit 'sloppy' when reassociating one type of file, because this happened to me after that I removed an older version of Adobe Reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader 6) and installed the latest version.
I really hope that this will solve the problems, others here! It really saves me a lot of frustration here! ;)

  • Cannot open JPG files in photoshop, error "could not complete your request because the file is not found.

    Cannot open JPG files in photoshop
    Has anyone ran into this problem? Photoshop worked perfectly in the past and the other day I noticed that I can't open all the jpg files in Photoshop (tried all the usual ways to circumvent the opening problem), I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because the file was not found." I know that JPGs are fine, as they open in other applications. My work-around for the moment, is to open in preview mode before and export as a PDF file, then open the PDF file in photoshop, however, this is not ideal.

  • Adobe Acrobat - 'there was an error opening this document. The file is not found.

    Guys,

    I have a virtual layer to Adobe Flash player, with a point of entry to Internet Explorer. Apart from that, we used Thinreg to associate pdf files with a Thinapp copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (using the allusers switch). We find that, while trying to open online pdf files, Acrobat Reader load then shows the error "there was an error opening this document. The file is not found. If we save the file and open it works very well.

    I am positive that it is a problem of isolation somewhere in the config layer of Acrobat Reader, but have not been able to track it down. It is probably that the Acorbat layer not looking outside of himself for the temporary internet folder that contains the pdf file that IE has cached?

    Everyone falls on something similar and has a solution?

    Matt

    Try to set the modes of insulation for your temporary folders (%temp%, % internet cache) merged to your package of IE. In addition, in our environment, we put % internet merged cache%/contents.is5. Not sure if it makes a difference.

  • Satellite Pro M10 Hibernate - error message "the file is not found.

    I have the Satellite Pro M10. I have problem in the power of Eve v6.00.04. When I want to activate the Hibernate mode it give a massage: * the file is not found. Please confirm the name of the specified file *.

    I can't use the hibernation mode. I tried to uninstall the Toshiba power saver and install again but the massage even come. If anyone has experienced the same problem and have a solution? Please advice

    When you active hibernating the operating system creates a file named hiberfil.sys in the root of your system drive.
    Of course, this file is missing in your installation.
    You can activate and disable hibernation in the system control-> power options.
    Disable hibernation, restart and enable again. Is there an error message? Maybe your C drive has insufficient free space?
    The size of the hibernation file is different from your main memory size.
