I am having problems opening a .pdf attachment sent by my bank that confirms my email account so I can use online banking. The file does not appear to be corrupted since I forwarded it back to the bank and it worked. I suspect that there are some security measures in the file that might be preventing gmail from allowing me to download it. Here are the email instructions from the bank: [Begin --- Step 1: Verification Process To verify that you are able to open the attached TEST e-Statement, please click on the attached PDF file. Remember, you will need Acrobat Reader๏ฟฝ 5.0 or greater to open the e-Statements attachment. [Note: I have Reader v8] Step 2: Enter Password You will then be prompted to enter a password. The password is "[XXXXXXX]" . Once you have entered the password, an example of a monthly e-Statement will be displayed. Step 3: Response Request Once you have successfully opened and closed the test e-Statement, please click REPLY and then click SEND. Upon receipt of this response, you will be enrolled in the e-Statements product. Please note, we cannot begin electronic delivery of your statement until you respond to this e-mail. --- End] There is a note on the email next to the attachment that reads: "104K Gmail could not scan this file for viruses." When I try to save the attachment, I get an error message that reads "Internet Explorer could not download attachment from mail.google.com. Server connection reset." Help is much appreciated!
