Those instructions are for Acrobat DC. No idea if they can work with such old software.

thanks. Btw I tried also with DC but result is the same ... 

I've generated a PDF file by converting a folder that contains various messages, many with attachments (other PDFs, jpgs and so on - as well as .zip files).

Once the PDF file is generated I can save all attachments EXCEPT .zip ....

the result is the same with DC

thanks

I haven't tried it, but the linked page has detailed instructions under "Manually add a file type to a black or white list". Don't they work?


If I follow the instructions, in fact, I can attach a zip file, saying it is reliable.

But once attached to the document - it will seem incredible - the reverse operation is no longer possible! (i.e. download!)
