#WINDAT READER PDF#

pdf files attached to emails formatted in RTF format may not be able to be received if the receiving client cannot handle RTF. There are plenty of advise/recommendations saying that. pdf attachment and it would open normally.

Anyone opening the email on a Windows PC (and I haven't tested on Mac or other devices such as Android etc) would see the. pdf file as a winmail.dat file but this was not everyone and only affected those on iPad/iPhone that could not receive/interpret RTF formatted emails. My wife has just had this issue and after digging around I found what was causing HER issue. Hopefully you are not exchanging emails with someone using an out-of-date Microsoft Exchange server. Almost all Microsoft Exchange servers no longer have this problem. This is an old issue that is not seen very often now. You would need to contact them and ask them to delete these old references. Unfortunately, you may be exchanging correspondence with indidviduals who have stored corrupted versions of your email address in their own email address systems. In your case, it sounds like you need to delete all old-versions of your email addresses from whatever locations you can find on you personal computers. The only fix is to delete any email addresses that were created during that period from contact-address-books and use the current email address. Unfortunately this 'hack' essentially corrupted email addresses and permanately caused them to block PDF documents. Microsoft some-what over-reacted to its customers' request for a work-around and supplied a 'hack' to Outlook Exchange servers that blocked the transmission of PDF documents. But I’ve heard some people still have this issue with O365.Last year there was a security problem with PDF documents and it took Adobe several months to provide a solution to the issue. Stupidest work around but I will take it. So I was like for shits and giggles forward it to yourself and I’ll be damned if it didn’t work. But there’s 2 other people in her office they get the PDFs.Įdit2: you ain’t gonna believe this shit…I mean you all might.

But we have online web mail she says she can go there and it’s still a winmail.dat file. I honestly don’t know what to do other than give them a whole new PC and going that route and pray it works but that doesn’t solve the problem.Įdit: we use spectrum email service right now. I’m about to get chewed up by my boss again cuz it’s not working. It’s beyond ridiculous.ĭo you guys/gals have any ideas to help me out. And this has been going on for a few months. These are very important files they come from state of texas departments for elections and department of justice type things. But I have done EVERYTHING Google and blogs say to do. I’m not very well versed yet still young in the career. I’m having her forward it to herself see if that might work. But it was sent from her inbox as a wi mail.dat file. She just forwarded the email to me and it comes to me as a pdf. Ok the other people in their departments are all receiving PDFs. Ok I have 3 users out of 285 that keep receiving these attachments instead of pdf’s.
