Hello,
Realtor here. People email me contracts and forms on a daily basis. I am running Vista, MS Office Ultimate and Newest Acrobat Update.
Before I upgraded to 8.0, (I think I had 7.0 before) I could open the attachments in my email inbox from clients and agents etc. Now that I have upgraded, an error message pops up:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.email'
because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been
damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
When I use my old lap-top with adobe 5.0 on it, I can see the attachments just fine. Before I upgraded, I could open the same email attachments just fine.
I have tried the following:
1. Re-installed the update and restarted my computer
2. Went to Start-Control Panel-Settings-Folder Options- and deselected "Hide known File Types in Windows" and selected "Show known File Types in Windows"
Any help would be appreciated, I have to run two computers now, I hate it!!!
By the way - all attachments mentioned above can be viewed on my iphone. I know it's not the attachments, it's the update which is the problem!
Adobe pop uptelling this is not a pdf file. I can't find where to tell outlook to not use adobe to open attachments that are not pdf. I have dumped adobe out, then attachments open fine, but when I reload adobe back to same problem.
I didn't have this till about adobe 7 But adobe 8 and 9 have this issues
