100% mail environment (imap) some attachments arrive in scrambled type unicode others do not (docx and pdf) files.

I tested this feature by sending a known (problem file) to my gmail as well as a user in the office. I could read it 100% in gmail, then I just forwarded it to the user that couldnt read it orginially and BAM! they could read it??
Keep in mind this was a FORWARD that original user couldnt read...
This happens with SOME .docx files and SOME .pdf files..
Rebuild mailbox?

This is what the scrambled attachment looks like (a small sample)
--Apple-Mail=_1FAB09C6-0D1D-4DF3-9213-96338807C5EF
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=Document3.docx
Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document;
name="Document3.docx"

  • Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected).  Why is this???

    Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected).  Why is this???
    Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Because you purchased some of the songs when they were sold as DRM ( protected ) - pre itunes plus, and you bought some of the songs when they were sold as non-drm - itunes plus.
    You can check quick links in the itunes store to see if you have itunes plus upgrades available for purchases.

  • Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

    Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
    Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
    Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
    the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

    Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
    If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF.  For example, our Macs are network homed.  Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon. 
    However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked.  I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Correlate XML and PDF file/mail

    Following ugly requirement: PI receives XMLfiles and mails with PDF attachment. The XML contains the plain invoice data, the PDF is the signed invoice. PI sends both types as files to the customer. But the customer wants that files which belong together (see below) are sent within a time interval of max. 6 hours.
    Problem is, the PDF is signed by an external partner which may need longer than those 6 hours. And the supplier is not able to hold back the corresposing XML files.
    I fear the only way to solve it is by integration process (?)
    The XML has a file reference tag, which corresponds to the mail attachment name, so in theory, we know what fits together. But the PDF is a binary message, so how to definine a correlation definition on it ? Do I need to map the PDF into an own XML structure, e.g. some header tag which contains the attachment name, and a base64 tag which contains the PDF ? But then I would later have to recreate the binary PDF, after the 2 messages are correlated. Is that possible in the process ? Can I map message 2 again when it leaves the process ?
    We are on PI 7.0, soon 7.1
    CSY

    Additional info: I just implemented the solution with 2 receiver interfaces. And write both messages with file reveiver channels, one of them uses the PayloadSwapBean. Works great. The solution is better than the zip option, because now I can even set the filename as I want:
    1. for the XML file, I can just use the adapter specific attribute filename (= use the name of the original XMLfile)
    2. for the PDF file, this does not work without additional change because it was read as attachment with the XML file, and so gives the name of the XML file, and the original PDF filename is not in the PI message anymore. But I just add a Java mapping in the routing of the PDF file, and set the needed filename value in dynamic configuration (read the value, remove .xml and append .pdf)

  • Attaching Word and PDF files in Mail without preview in the middle of a message

    I am using Mail but often attaching Word docs and PDFs. Word attachments appear as small icons, but PDFs as preview and usually in the middle of the message. Can I attach PDFs as small icons and not in the middle  of a message? Having just moved to Mac from PC I am missing the tidyness of Outlook, but if you can help me I'll persist.

    I found this solution in a previous thread:
    1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    2. copy and paste this line after the $:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    3. hit return
    4. you may need to restart Mail for the change to take effect, it worked for me without restarting Mail.
    5. to change it back you would do
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false

  • Mail not sending jpg/pdf files

    You've probably all heard about this problem but does anyone have a fix?
    When i send jpg or pdf files to windows computers they don't show up at the other end.
    This problem is intermittent. If i'm sending mutliple files it sometimes send one but not others.
    Clicking 'windows friendly attachments' does not work. It's already ticked.
    I'm using a Macbook pro 10.5.4 with Mail Version 3.3 (926.1/926)
    Can anyone give me a definative anwser? Searching the wbe and these forums just throws up more unknowns!

    Zipping files takes very little time, since it's built-in to OS X and available as a Contextual Menu item. Aside from that, your files are being received, even if your recipients don't know it. There is something about their mail client that blocks them from seeing them, but if they were to display the full headers of your email, all the images should indeed be there.
    Entourage is no panacea, either; the same thing could happen with that program and your recipients. The only way to ensure that files are received as visible attachments is to archive them all and send that archive file.

  • Mail Notification with Custom Subject, Mail Body and PDF File Name

    I have successful configured the Action Profile to send SmartForm Mail as PDF. But i would like to modify the Subject, PDF File Name & add text to mail body when a mail is sent to the user.
    The Subject of the Mail is the same as the PDF file name. How to maintain a pre-defined file name for the PDF file.

    I was able to find a commercial product that works very well. MaxBulk Mailer from Max Programming allows you to import a list of recipients, merge with personalized message and designate an attachment (just image types and PDFs, not all types work) and send.

  • ICloud and pdf file attachments

    Several of the small companies that I work with don't allow downloads of anything from any "cloud." But I'm using iCloud now for my emails. How do I send pdf files, but not through the cloud? Thank you for your help.

    Just like any other email, with or without attachments.

  • Mail and pdf files

    Is there any way to send a pdf file as a file without it opening? I want to send some single page file that need to be zoomed to read. They are old handwritten ledger pages in pdf format and when sent as an attachment they open whilst in draft mode.
    TIA

    I have solved the problem. For future reference the Adobe pdf file only opens automatically if there is only 1 page in the document. When the recipient clicks and drags the open file into Adobe reader all the normal tools and functions can still be used. The attachment can also be saved on the recipients hard drive where it will appear as an Adobe icon and it can be opened normally.
    So I learned something new today!

    I brought a video from a trusted website.  They sent me an e-mail with a link to use to download the video.  It is a mp3 video with 2.75 GB.  When I click on the link to download it seems to try but stops and won't do anything else.  It appears to be using IE.  I have Vista and have Quicktime, andTunes.  As you can probably tell from my wording I am out of my area of "expertise".  Any help would be most appreciated.  I sent an e-mail to the websites customer servide reporting the problem but have no idea when I will hear from them.

    mp3 is an audio file descriptor, not a video file type

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my iphone to my computer for some time.  All of the sudden, it will not sync and shows an alarm on the screen that says "the sync session failed to start".  What happened?

  • HT2497 Mail,contacts & calendar is telling me for I'd password but is not working and just has a beep noise when I click on sighn out or ok??

    I can't remove this icloud password window from my screen??

    Hi Ethan6661,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not have access to the computer you normally sync with, it may be necessary to use one of these methods to erase your phone and remove the passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Some but not all saved pdf files will open in Mac Maverick.

    Reader 11.0.7
    Have tried earlier Readers available online but same story- they download OK but saved file won't open.
    error message:
    Senders say no problem with files.
    eg:  http://isailor.us/faq/i/Transas_iSailor_User_Manual.pdf
    Can anyone help?

    The Adobe Reader toolbar appear if you hover the mouse in a PDF being viewed in Safari.
    The link you need to right click on is NOT in the PDF itself. It is on the page BEFORE, the one where you click to view the PDF. Does not always work.
