Outlook 2000 and PDF files
Hello,
Have a client with a brand new desktop, XP Pro SP3, Office 2000 and Acrobat 7.x. Before my visit today, the client from within Acrobat could essentially send the newly created PDF to email and it would attach itself to a new email. I replaced the nic in the computer and somehow this has trashed this functionality. What happens now is the subject line of the Outlook message shows the attachment name and the file that is enclosed is not a PDF file but an unknown attachment that cannot be opened. I changed the IE default programs and re-selected OE and rested sucessfully so it appears to be an Outlook issue more than an Acrobat issue. Any ideas ??? Al |

Outlook 2000 and PDF files
Cany't explain why. I uninstalled Acrobat and Office, restarted and
installed both apps. PDF attachment functionality has been restored. Just weird.

Outlook 2000 and PDF files
The weird part is that changing the NIC broke it. Reinstalling (or
repairing) the affected apps to fix it is fairly common. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Al Dargie" wrote in message ...
