Hi, hope someone can help me with this, my new droid is unable to open my work email attachments, specifically PDFs.
When I click on view attachment adobe reader appears to load then I get an error message "There was an error opening the document." The same attachment opens fine on my PC and also my HTC HD2.
My ROM is completely unchanged, new phone today but my friends droid also seems to have the same problems. I noticed the PDFs are a different format from normal in that I can open it in a text reader and read as plain text, however as I said they work fine elsewhere.
An example PDF can be found here I have just removed sensitive information.
Any ideas?
any luck yet?
Hey
I've got the exact same problem. did you have any luck fixing it yet?
Please let me know if you know how to get around it!
thanks so much!
Have you try using a different pdf reader? Also you should copy the working pdf from your computer to your phone and see if it open properly first, it could be an faulty download.
I did try any PDF readers I could get my hands on with no luck.
To solve the problem I ended up writing a script on my home PC to access the mailbox, extract and re-encode the PDF back to standard format. Bit of a pain but it does the job.
Try using DocsToGo, it's not free though. Search it in the Android Market.

Sign up for Drop Box. No there is not an official DROPBOX for WP7 yet. WP7Box and CloudFiles looks promising but still not complete.
The mobile version of dropbox is really easy to use. m.dropbox.com
It's is finger friendly and is fast. Sync your files there and you are good to go. That is what I do for WP7. I also sync with Sharepoint and OneNote but I like to experiment.
With 25GIGs for free to store info why would you want to not use it. Information is only as good as your last backup. At least with cloud solutions you are backed up.
I keep all my powerpoint presentations, word docs, acrobat files etc. No need to have them in multiple locations.
Well we have another similar thread open, so I'll close this!
Hi everyone, I thank you in advance for helping me on this matter:
I recently switched to HTC DHD from E71, and I have a big problem with viewing the attached file with DHD. Standard viewer and QuickOffice won't even open it, and the other solutions that I came across if they can open the file the search function is unavailable, or inadequate.
Since I am a doctor, and this txt file is a national medical formulary, it has been an invaluable resource for me in everyday practice. I used to view it with LCG X-plore on E71 and easily search for the name of the therapeutic with an easy find-next option. Now, on much more powerful device - the HTC Desire HD, I can't even open it, and if I can, the search function is not as nearly functional as it was on good ol' E71. I believe that this must be just me being newbie in Android, and my question is following:
PLEASE recommend me a simple TXT viewer capable of opening the attached LARGE TEXT file (1,7MB) with FIND and FIND NEXT functions.
Thank you!

PS cool reader hangs on second start, and iReader also doesn't do the job.

Docs To Go doesn't support .txt files.
Edit: Try this, http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore&page=download&platform=android it's an explorer but makes a very good text viewer for large txt files.
Hello guys, I got a little question...
My computer cannot display the attached pictures properly; when I click on the attachments, a white blank page opens with the text "No input file specified." I tried using FF, Chrome and IE, it's all the same.
Seems like nobody else has this problem... Can you help me?
Thanks in advance!
Try logging out and logging back in? Try clearing your browser cache and cookies?
Already tried clearing them, but unfortunately doesn't work for me... After logging out, still the same.
Can you post the link of the attachment you are trying to view?
It should look something like http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=726013&d=1316570603
I'm trying to view the attachments of this post; other people can verify that these are working fine, but I have no clue why my computer can't display them properly.
Update: The attachments redirect me to the link "http://attachments.xda-developers.com/forum/attachment.php...", it seems like the "/forum" part is the problem. When I remove it, the picture is displayed correctly!
Thanks for the info...I've alerted the server admin, and it has now been fixed
Thank you very much, everything is back to normal now!
Hey I have an at&t galaxy S3. I am new to android and have not rooted my phone (I will be soon) I can print from the phone using printer share. I have tried to print my reports from work (these reports are pre formated forms) but every app I use to view or pri t the form changes the format of the report, thus making it useless. Can anyone recommand an app or way to print from the phone that will not alter the orginal format? I have used documents to go, office pro, drive, and kingston office. I have not tried to print any documents saved on an SD card, as I will not be getting one for a few weeks (not sure if pulling a file from an SD card would make a difference.
Any help would be apprecited, thanks.
PrinterShare mobile
re
Thanks for the response, however I use printer share app but it reformats my reports regardless of how I open the document. Is there a printer app that will not reformat the report?
What type of files are your reports?

They are fill in the blank police reports pre formated microsoft word documents. The forms are in block format. If you need an example just google Stat 5 police report.
Guys,
Here's a problem that has me confused ~ With the exception of Evernote, no matter what Notes app I use if I open a large document file and select all the typed content then copy to the Clip-Tray, if I then go to any other notes app and select paste, only the top half of the notes in the doc file get pasted.
However, if I do the same in Evernote, all the docs notes get copied across!
It would appear this problem is isolated to my G3 because if I try and do the exact same on a different phone, the entire doc and all it's notes gets copied and pasted across.
Any ideas why there is this limitation?
P.S. I can't use Evernote because this particular doc has a lot of passwords. As such I need to use a secure notes app (which I have 'msecure' and have tried the same with others).
Further confusing ~ Even with only half the typed notes copied and pasted, if I then try to edit and type in the missing notes, although the keyboard pops up and I can type, however nothing gets added to the file.
Basically you can happily type as much as you want but nothing is added on screen or in the doc file.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone........ Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts.
I tried installing another notes app and same thing happens, I load a notes file into it but I can't add any more text to the file.
So no one has any ideas or thoughts on the subject?
