Unable to send PDFs as email attachments

I have become unable to send PDFs as email attachments when using Firefox.
Depending on the PDF, I either get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” or it opens as a blank document. This occus when opening the file with both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro. The problem seems to be isolated to PDFs. (I am able to send Word files. If a PDF is zipped before attaching, it can be opened without problem.) This occurs on both an institutional email account and personal (Yahoo) email account. This problem is isolated to Firefox (does not happen in Chrome).
I have reset Firefox to default settings, as well as reinstalling.
Thank you.

Update Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 to version 11.
Also please update all of your plugins and try again.
Does this happen when you open the pdf in pdf.js, it is possible to change the default viewer by:

  • Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

    We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
    All software is up-to-date.
    In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
    As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
    Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
    Thanks for any advise.

    Take the bhama way
    figured out how to make it work.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
    and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
    For those who are interested, this is what I did:
    1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
    to.  Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
    2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
    3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
    desktop
    4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list.  I chose,
    "Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
    5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
    Item" from the first drop down menu.
    6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
    this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your         file
    something other than the Acrobat default.
    7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
    add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
    8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name.  Mine is, "PDF to
    Email".
    9. Close Automator
    10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
    11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
    12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
    13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
    14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
    Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
    Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
    With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
    you created) Mine is "PDF to Email".  It will take a few seconds, but you
    will get an "Action Completed".  You will get a pop up that allows you to
    name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
    attached and ready for sending.
    You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
    work for you.

  • Am unable to send photos by email or message

    Unable to send photos by email or message

    Hi,
    Ok, adding your email address to my contact list didn't change anything.
    The good news is that your email from your gmail account did get through. It was marked as junk mail but when I declared it safe, the photo appeared.
    I looked into the message content for the ones that didn't work and I think the photo is actually still part of the data. It is as though the message header has been corrupted somehow. Since it happens with your service provider but not mine, it suggests that your service provider is perhaps corrupting the header.
    I'm not sure how we can get this resolved as the fault could be with Adobe, your service provider or other service providers.
    I think the workaround of using your gmail account is probably the best way to go.
    You do get a lot of snow there. I live in the UK on the south coast near Southampton. All I have seen is a very light dusting of snow and that quickly disappeared. There were a few local accidents due to the icy conditions. I supposed that the snow is part of your life there - for us it is an exception and so we are not prepared for it.

  • How to send photos as email attachments???

    This is a ridiculously easy and simple question but I'm a mac newbie and can't figure out how to send photos as email attachments, not embed them in the body of the email. Every time I go to send a picture or group of pictures from i-photo an email message opens....the pictures are embedded in the body of the email and that's how they appear to receipients. In a test, I've sent them to a PC...the message comes through just fine but the photos don't have separate attachments that I can click on and "save as." they come through as bitmap files. Any ideas? THANK YOU.

    It will not ALWAYS fix the problem that this topic is about; I had my Mail preferences set to send as Plain Text and it did not fix the problem. Additionally, since there is NOT an option in Iphoto as you previously noted, it might be confusing to some people.
    However, for those of you who have the same problem, there seems to be a solution that worked for me. I also had the problem that Mail was overriding my sizing preference when I selected them in Iphoto (share > email) and always sending them as small instead of medium as I preferred.
    Since it seems that sometimes Mail does not deploy the plain text default so you need to kick start it to remember. This is how I did it....
    - Select the photos you want and hit SHARE > EMAIL in Iphoto
    - Now, in Mail click on the photo browser button
    - Find another photo in Iphoto via the browser and drag and drop it into the email that you're composing
    - You'll see a size option appear in the bottom right hand corner
    - Playing around with the sizing option a few times kicked it into gear and it seems to be working better since then
    I hope that helps anyone who has had the same problem.

  • Unable to send or receive email

    We purchased an iPad with Retina display in Nov 2012, since we bought it, we have had issues with email. We are now unable to send or receive email from Microsoft Exchange server on the ipad. The email locks up when trying to open or send. It has gotten progressively worse. At first couldn't open more than 8 different emails before it locked up, now we can't send or receive any emails.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...consider that you pay them for your services and formal support, and right now they seem to not be delivering either to you. They even have the power to escalate your case formally up to BlackBerry if they cannot resolve it, but you need to not allow them to fob you off with things like "it looks good on our end"...they are responsible for delivering services to you, you pay them for that.
    Good luck!

  • Unable to send and receive email for external domain

    Hi,

    Hi hg01,
    According to your description, I notice that you installed Exchange server on a DC.
    It is not recommended to install Exchange server on a DC. I suggest install Exchange server on a member server. More details to see:
    Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.setupreadiness.warninginstallexchangerolesondomaincontroller(v=exchg.150).aspx
    About your issue, cannot send and receive externally, I suggest make sure the DNS can be resolved first.
    Then, check whether Outlook Anywhere has been enabled. If not, please enable it on both Exchange server and Outlook client side.
    Last, try to configure both Send Connector and Receive Connector.
    More detailed error message will be helpful for the further troubleshooting.
    Thanks

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

    i am able to send 'current data as a link'  ' html'  'mhtml' but unable to send pdf.
    i was able to do it before. i dont know what changes happened.
    i also saw the config in scot. server name is given properly and also i am able to send link as a mail .
    can any one tell what is the problem?
    did anyone face this befroe
    error which i am getting is
    Error: com.sap.ip.bi.base.exception.BIBaseRuntimeException

    We are experiencing a similar issue, but unlike the one reported above our ADS server is fine. Our issue is slightly different in that we don't even get an option to send by pdf. However this is working fine in Development and Test but not in Production.
    We only have the options for Brodcast E-mail and Broadcast to the Portal with both having the same optons of  HTML MHTML and online link to current data, but no option to select pdf.
    Any ideas ?
    Many thanks

    Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)
