Cannot open .pdf attachment
Hi,
I am getting really frustrated in that I cannot open attachments, this time a .pdf. I have been into Tools/Options - Security and untick box to allow attachments to download and I have also been into Tools/Options - Read and tried to make attachments Text Only but nothing has worked. I am not an IT guru so need some help on this please as I have a number of attachments that I haven't read yet. Cheers - Caz

Cannot open .pdf attachment
Hi Caz,
Can the *.pdf file be opened after the attachment is saved? In (Windows) folder options, file types what program is associated with *.pdf? Is the Open verb included under Actions? -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Danie and Caz" wrote in message ...

Cannot open .pdf attachment
Windows has no built in capabiity to open PDF documents. The most common
program used to open/view them is the free Adobe Reader from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html . Gene K
