i am running thunderbird on a mac book pro. i have used this for years with never a problem. today suddenly i cannot send pdf files. When i attach the file and try to open it before sending it says that it is a portable document. It does not go to open the file but to save it. If I send it, it will not open. it says it is a portable document.

The application you chose ("") could not be found. Check the file name or choose another application.

what is wrong???? what is portable document format.

Portable Document Format (977)

At which point did you attempt to actually send the message?

Thunderbird doesn't open PDFs. You may ask in an Apple forum for help on that.
