How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

  • How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

    How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

    You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
    The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
    You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
    Then link to this using the url  "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
    My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
    My user name is "wayne"
    so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
    and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

    That's doing it the hard way. Why not use HTTP or FTP?

  • Why can't I upload pdf files into the US District Court CM/ECF system?

    Since the last update to Firefox, I cannot upload pdf files into the Federal Court's e-filing system. When I press the browse file button, all the files (except jpg) files appear inactive and I cannot click on any file, esp. pdf files to upload. I tried it with Safari and had no trouble. I need this resolved asap as I routinely have done all my e-filing with Firefox. I had no issues in the past until the recent update. Thank you.

    The Bankruptcy Court announced a few months ago that updated versions of Firefox would not work with the ECF system. You have to download an older version of Firefox. I was able to download Firefox 3.6.19 and I run that only for bankruptcy filings.
    I know it doesn't make sense, but it works.
    Many people are evidently having the same trouble. I have no idea why the court system doesn't run software that works with the latest versions of Firefox. Or why the latest versions of Firefox don't work with the courts.
    I'm looking for a way to notify Firefox and to ask them to fix.
    Incidentally, over Labor Day weekend, the Bankruptcy Court - at least in Oregon - did a major software overhaul. But they didn't fix the Firefox issue.

  • How do I paste a photo ( jpeg) into the body of my email message- I can do it in Internet Explorer bu can't in Firefox

    I can open up a photo from my "Pictures" file In Internet Explorer, copy it, then paste it into the body of my email message ( I use Earthlink webmail). I see the picture fine.
    When I try to do the same procedure by opening, copy and pasting in Firefox, a box appears with a photo icon, but no photo. Even when I press "view image" it will not show the picture.
    What am I missing?

    There's a utility available that solves this problem in gmail. It allows you to drag and drop any image on your system clipboard directly into Gmail. Check it out: picturepaste.com

  • How can I change a PDF file into a Word Document

    Regretfully, I am Disabled and unable to watch a Tutorial video online. So, I must use this venue to ask a simply question...Is there a way to make a PDF file into a Word Document? OR, how can I type info into a PDF file? Either answer would help me IMMENSELY!

    Using your Adobe ID, I believe you have one free trial on ExportPDF.
    Also, Acrobat is available as a fully functional 30-day trial.

  • How can I load a pdf-file into a byte[]?

    Hello,
    I would like to load a PDF-File into a byte-Array. How can I do this? The standard Streams shouldn't work because this can't be converted into characters. Can it? So, what does work?
    Any idea?
    Bye,
    Wolfang

    Why would someone not do:
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("foo.pdf");
    byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
    for(int len=-1;(len=is.read(buf))!=-1;)
            baos.write(buf,0,len);
    is.close();
    baos.flush();
    baos.close();
    buf = baos.toByteArray();  // Here are you bytes!You don't need to know the exact size, let ByteArrayOutputStream do it for you. Streams are generally for bytes, Readers/Writers generally for characters. Why exactly did you say: ``The standard Streams shouldn't work because this can't be converted into characters?''

  • How can I make a pdf-file of the front panel?

    I like to make a pdf-file of the front panel. Thus I need a vi, where I can input the printer name (as the pdf-printer is not the default one), the vi and the name of the future pdf-file.

    Try this and if you were to search the forum with "pdf" as the search parameter, you'd find several postings on the same subject. One of them is here and another is here with some email addresses of individuals with existing toolkits.

  • How do I send a .pdf file in the body of email, not as attachment?

    Hello to all you MAC geniuses out there. I am using Pages to design flyers for my business. Then exporting them to a pdf file and trying to figure out how to send them in the BODY of an email and not an attachemnt that they have to open. Not really sure if this is a mail or pages question. It is probably a very simple step I am missing, but never the less can't seem to fiugre it out. Thanks in advance!
    Genn

    You must take into consideration that HTML & PDF are very different formats with conflicting purposes: HTML is by design intended for flexibility in appearance in such things as font & location of displayed elements, & has no fixed page size. PDF is intended to produce WYSIWYG documents, exactly the same regardless of platform, but requires either the Adobe Acrobat application or a PDF plug-in to do so.
    Because of this, there is no way to convert a PDF document into HTML that will completely preserve the PDF's appearance. You can more or less force elements into the same relative position using tables & other HTML features, but pagination cannot be preserved, since no HTML formatted documents will have page breaks.
    You also should consider that the appearance of an email message depends on the application used to view it. Most email, including what Mail generates, follows a standard known as MIME 1.0. MIME is designed to identify each element in the message such that different applications can process them according to their capabilities. Thus, since Mail knows how to display image files like gifs, tiffs, or jpegs, they will be displayed as if they were embedded in the text if the MIME tags indicate they should be. Anything Mail doesn't know how to process into displayable text or images, such as PDF's, will be displayed only as an attachment. The same will be true for other email reading applications.
    IOW, email is not WYSIWYG. Some apps will show displayable items inline, some won't, even if the MIME type is displayable on your Mac in Mail.
    There are several ways you can deal with this. You can try to convert the PDF into HTML, as suggested earlier. You will probably have to tweak the HTML so generated with an editor to get the best results, & deal with such things as pagination, image conversion or resizing, so-called web safe colors, etc. (PDF's are compressed & usually optimized for high resolution printing; to keep the message size down, you may want to convert images to lower resolution jpegs.)
    Or, you can convert the entire flyer to a jpeg or png image, which insures WYSIWYG output, but may make text harder to read.
    Alternately, you can compose a new message as plain text or as HTML that refers to the PDF's content & either includes it as an attachment or furnishes a link to a web page that contains it. This allows you to reach the widest audience, including those who do not have a PDF app or plug-in.
    Whatever you elect to do, remember that what you send in the email is actually a combination of content & instructions about how to deal with it, & that not all recipients will see it the same way, no matter what you do.

  • How can I send a PDF file via my yahoo or google email programs?

    I just downloaded some photos from a friend's camera, & I want to send copies via email. I created a PDF file, but can't figure out how to email the file out (it only offers to send via Windows Mail-which I don't have). Do I need to create a different kind of file for the pix, or do I just need to send one at a time?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
