Adobe reader sas 'Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf. Unable to open pdf document. It was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.

Emails with 'doc' attachments often have Adobe symbol. When I click 'open', Adobe tries to open but displays error ('email attachment was not correctly decoded') and asks to select a program - which does not work for me. The only solution which I have found is to return to e-mail and click 'save all' attachments. I select a folder, save and then click 'open with' and then select 'Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler'. I then save file as 'docx' for future reference. How can I avoid this 'decoding' problem?

I have also noticed that many existing 'doc' files (in folders under My Documents) were corrupted about 1 year ago - with Word symbol being replaced with Adobe symbol but neither Adobe Reader or MS Office (Starter 2010) can open them. Is there an Up-Date for Starter 2010 or Live Mail which would avoid this problem? Peter Hayhurst.

I solved this problem thru the following code. Byte[] bytfile = Objects.GetFile(Convert.ToInt32(txtslno.Text.Trim())); Response.Clear(); Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.ContentType = 'application/pdf'; Response.AddHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename='+filename); Response.

AddHeader('Content-Length', bytfile.Length.ToString()); Response.OutputStream.Write(bytfile, 0, bytfile.Length); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); I am just not writing the binary content to the output pdf stream in my previous code. Thank you for your support.

My customer has recently encountered a problem when trying to open most of their pdfs that they have been referencing for years on their pc. Reader has a popup box that says 'Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf' 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 I have tried various programs to recover/restore/repair them, they all say the files aren't PDF files. I have not paid for any recovery programs but would be willing to if they can demonstrate they can fix the problem first. Hi, does this only happen for a specific set of PDFs or all of them, regardless of source? In any case, the said files might be getting corrupted by malware trying to infect the documents, eventually failing to infect them correctly. If it is the case I'll redirect your post to the Viruses/Security subforum in the hope someone will help you clean the computer.

Can you also try to open the files with different PDF reader, e.g. Firefox if it is installed (it can read PDFs directly thanks to pdf.js)? From human import idiocy del idiocy.
