Solve : cannot open adobe pdf files?

Answer»

When trying to open a pdf file in outlook it says file not found. Also all documents that were stored in my documents that were adobe files were deleted. Uninstalled adobe and reinstalled, scan for virus, adware, spyware, etc..... Just cannot open any pdf file from outlook or any items from any files on COMPUTER , but when on a web site I am ABLE to view pdf files and such. Is this a security in outlook that I am overlooking or a virus???On both 6.0 and 7.0. They were uninstalled and reinstalled only to have the same problem. I dont think it an adobe problem because I can view pdf files over the web. Problem only happens in outlook.Do you have your Outlook set to not open files which may harm your computer or something like that?
I use Outlook Express so it may be a LITTLE different.
It sounds more like an Outlook setting than something wrong with Adobe to me.All security SETTINGS are set to low, still says file not found when trying to open a pdf file.I was not aware that Outlook had a built-in PDF reader?problem found
c;/program files/adobe/acrobat 7.0/help/enu/reader/right click icon/properties/change the program it opens files with. Somehow it got changed to word even after a new install of acrobat 7.0.

Thanks for any help.So it was simply a file association problem and nothing to do with Outlook.

Just as well you found it so fast.

Ever tried Foxit .pdf Reader?wrwss
Can you explain exactly what you did to fix it, your answer followed by Mac's post don't make sense to me. The .pdf files got associated with Word somehow.Yeah, Somehow the adobe program files got changed to open pdf files with word instead of adobe? It is in the c drive under program filles>how it got switched is anyone's guess, but correct, it was a problem with adobe and not outlook>even after an uninstall and reinstall of adobe.So .pdf files on your HD tried to open with word but .pdf files on the net opened with Adobe?
Interesting.
