OK, that and your other explanation helps a bit.
You are using a web based or "webmail" application so of course you get
and read your mail through a browser. I don't use these so I cannot
help with it use.
However after you have downloaded the PDF, can you find it? If not open
the download window from within Epiphany (tools/download) and check to
see where it is being saved. Once you locate it, right click on it to
choose Properties. Then choose the Open with tab to select which
program you would like to associate with PDF files. From then on in the
OS will open PDFs with that program.

While in the email program?
Epiphany is a browser so clicking on a PDF will save the file, hence
the download window, unless you associate another action with that file
type. Once a file is downloaded right click to get the menu. Choose
Properties and then go to the Open tab to select Open Office, Evince or
Acrobat to associate with this type of file. Once the OS know how to
deal with that file it should open them directly without the download.
You wrote originally..." i am
using
Ubuntu
9.04 with Epiphany and cant read PDF from emails" and, as I understand
it, this is confusing as emails do not have anything to do with your
browser.

What happens when you right click on the attachment in the email
program? What happens when you choose Open?

Hi, i am
using
Ubuntu
9.04 with Epiphany and cant read PDF from emails. With synaptic I
downloaded Acrobat 9.0 but when I open Acrobat it says to go to Edit,
preferences, internet and at bottom of window I get: please specify the
directory containing the HTML rendering library( libgtkembedoz.so or
libxul.so) this library is required for rendering HTML content in Adobe
Reader:
At this point using synaptic I seem to go nowhere, in other words I am
lost! Any help please, Ray

fine and open automatically with a double click.
