Recognize PDF attachments correctly?

Thunderbird recognizes some PDF files and opens in adobe as expected, other files PDF Thunderbird identifies as .txt and does not display properly.

I find many people with this problem many years but have not found solutions for windows systems.

I can save and open directly and everything is fine for the files pdf are not this problem and everything works correctly in outlook. I'm trying to move the users of outlook, but I can not migrate this fickle outlook user without this and other T-Bird nagging issues.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, some email programs not properly encode an attachment and therefore the receiver program does not know what it is. Microsoft in particular product defective accessories. Unfortunately people continue to buy their products so that they see no reason to comply.

This module can help and it forces the attachment file name that you want to use to identify the type, rather than the Mime encoding type.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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. »

    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
  • 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.

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you!

  • 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.

  • IPhone iOS PDF attachments become corrupt 9.3

    We are having a problem with PDFs become corrupted when sent by iPhone users in our Exchange 2013 environment.

    The issue occurs intermittently, and whenever it happens, it is determined that the corrupt PDF attachment was sent from an iPhone (seems to be linked to iOS 9.3.x)

    When a PC user tries to open the PDF file, receive an error message "Acrobat cannot open 'PDFname' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded.)"

    The file is readable from an iPhone or from the Mac OS x native Viewer (does not open on Mac Adobe either).

    Curiously, the damaged PDF files CAN be repaired by opening the PDF said on a Mac using the native application "Preview" and "save under" from there. The resulting PDF file can then be opened to PC, Mac, Adobe, etc...

    I really want to make sure you that Apple is aware of this problem and is working to patch. It seems to be an iOS problem and not an Exchange problem.
