just recently started receiving the following message when trying to open a
..pdf attachment in Outlook: Can't Create File:_______.pdf. Right click the
folder you want to create the file in and then click properties on the
shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder. All the help and
troubleshooting for this points to the email sender. But... I've opened
these attachments in the past and as recently as last week. And... I can
forward the email to another email address (AOL) not opened through Outlook
and am able to open the attachment with no problems on the same computer.
And... I can forward the email to a different email address within my company
and open the attachment with no problem using their Outlook!
 
Seems that your file associations has been messed. Right click on the
attachment, and choose Open with, scroll to the Reader and check the box
that reads something like: Always open with this program. Click OK...
