    Outlook blocking unsafe attachments - .DOC, .PDF, etc


    Hi,
    I'm running Outlook 2010 in an Exchange 2010 environment. We are having an issue with Outlook blocking attachments. It is NOT blocking them based on extension. I have found many articles about unblocking attachments by extension but this does not seem to be what is happening. Does Outlook block attachments based off of some other criteria? I cannot determine what is causing Outlook to block .DOC and .PDF files, and I need to know how to bypass this feature. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Cant see preview of pdf in Acrobat Reader

    Thanks for responding. I can see PDFs in Adobe Reader. It is when I go to anything else that it won't show front page of PDFs. For instance, if I go to downloads, it only shows pdf on each doc. It used to show the front page so you could see what it was.
    The same thing happens when I am composing an email and need to attach a doc whether it is out of downloads, scans, etc. it only shows pdf on the front so you can't tell what doc you are attaching. I used to be able to see what I was attaching. Now I have
    to go in to wherever the doc is, open it (in Adobe reader) and see what it is, close it, go back to my email, find the doc and attach. Way more steps than I used to have to do.

    .pdf and .doc attachments from yahoo mail do ot appear

    .pdf and .doc attachments from senders using yahoo mail do not appear with the email since upgrading to W.10. In fact, when attachments to emails I received
    before upgrading also no longer appear with the email. All the emails I checked were ones which I previously was successful in opening and using the .pdf and/or .doc email attachments. I do not use Outlook. When I forward the same email from my
    phone, then the attachment appears.
