Attach pdf not as an attachment

i would like to take a PDF file and send it in the body of an email and not as an attachment so that when the email arrives it is open, can that be done?

PDF is not an accepted email format (plain text, HTML are, and RTF in some older Microsoft clients). You would need to convert the PDF to HTML (using Acrobat or another converter).

Services for Object (GOS) Attachement List not showing after attachment

Hi All,
I have created a new entry for the Generic Object Service List and this links to a copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE class (Create attachment) with some additional logic. However, after attaching a file, the "Attachment List" does not become available until after I re-enter the transaction. The attachment list is showing the correct attachments.
After some (understatement...) investigation, I found that even if I try and link the new service to a unchanged copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE service in SGOSATTR, it is not working. It is attaching fine, but the "Attachment List" entry in the Services for Object Menu is still greyed out. If I attach the original class CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE to the newly created entry it works fine. e.g. straight after I attach a file to the transaction, the menu entry becomes available.
I can't find where the re-draw of the GOS menu happens and hence can not determine what is going wrong. Does anybody know if this is part of the Kernel or is this actually done in ABAP ?
Am I missing something ? Debugging including system debugging for two days now and can't find it... very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wouter.

Hi Wouter,
I had originally posted to ask if you had resolved this since I was facing the same issue, but then deleted my post when I was able to get it working. Sorry, I didn't mean to initiate a flurry of activity in such an old thread.
My scenario is I created a new GOS service entry in table SGOSATTR using transaction SGOSM. My new service uploads attachments to an external document management system via a call to a RESTful web service. The class I use in the SGOSM entry is a custom subclass of CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE.
I resolved this issue by taking a look at what CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE does in its EXECUTE method. The key bits to refresh the GOS Attachment List with the new attachment are...
raise event commit_required. " if SGOSM has the commit flag checked
raise event service_succeeded
       exporting eo_service = me.
These events tell any subscribers to go do their thing-- which in this case includes a refresh of the GOS Attachment List. So in the EXECUTE method of my custom subclass, after I call function BINARY_RELATION_CREATE, I raise these events...
CALL FUNCTION 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
       obj_rolea     = gs_object
       obj_roleb    = rel_doc
       relationtype = 'URL'
   EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS       = 1.
CASE sy-subrc.
   WHEN 0.
       MESSAGE s043(sgos_msg). " The attachment was successfully created
       RAISE EVENT commit_required.
       RAISE EVENT service_succeeded
             EXPORTING eo_service = me.
   WHEN OTHERS.
       MESSAGE s042(sgos_msg). " The attachment has not been created
ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to you even though your initial implementation was a while back. Thanks for replying to my question though!!
Cheers,
Amy

Mail attachment (pdf) not showing properly as preview

Just recently I've received a pdf attachment that showed some (hidden) layers visible in preview. Opening it in Acrobat reader shows no problem.
Other computers and systems in the company also handle the file properly. No one else sees it the way I see it on my computer.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

How can I retain the attached .pdf files (displayed as icons) from my word file 2010 to a pdf file?

Hi everybody,
I have looked for an answer in this forum ... without any good result.
I worked on a Word 2010 file with some attached pdf files. These attached files are displayed as icons on the word file. If you double click on them, you can consult them. This works very good.
Problem: I would like to convert this word 2010 file into a pdf file, which keeps the icons (linked to attached files) active. If I "pdf" this with my current system, icons are displayed as pictures: I cannot open the attached files.
My question is very simple: is it possible to retain these active icons (= to open attached documents) in a pdf file? Which adobe package should I use?
Many thanks for your help
cheers

No, it's not possible, but I agree it would be a very nice feature.

Can i use HTML tag in text when sending contens as "Attachement(PDF)".

Hi all!!
i try to add html tag on ibot email text column.
is it possible?
- in ibot delivery content.
send content as Attachment(PDF)
"if sent as attachement, include this text" <--- mark this field
and below multi line input column, can i use html tag, for example,
Yahoo
thanks in advance.
Edited by: vingorius on 2010. 10. 31 오후 7:27

hi vingorius ,
No you cant include html but u can use variables
To add a variable in a text message to provide context for the iBot attachment
1. Click the following option:
If sent as attachment, include this text
2. Type the text into the text box with a session variable, a repository variable, or a presentation variable using the syntax shown in the following table:
Variable Type
Syntax
Repository @{Variable_Name}
Session @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}
Presentation @{Variable_Name}
For example, Dear, @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}, here is your personalized Weekly Sales Territory Update.
NOTE: If you want to use the @ character, you need to precede it with the \ (back slash) character to separate it from the variable syntax. For example, Dear @{NQ_SESSION.DISPLAYNAME}, \@ New York, appears as Dear Joe Smith, @ New York.

HT201269 Attachment button not appearing when writing e-mails

Since I upgraded my iphone to ios7, I am unable to find the attachment button to attach any pictures or PDF documents. Can anyone help me out on this?

Assuming that you were using the default Mail.app, it never had a way to attach PDF documents.
To attach a picture from your Camera Roll, long-press in the body of the email, then press the right-arrow that appears.

When sending email PO in a PDF attachment, the attachment can not be openen

Hi all,
We are trying to send an email with the PO in PDF format. We got the email but the attachment can not be opened.
Error reads: Adobe could not open test.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example , it was send as a email attachemnet and was not correctly decoded).
Could any body bring some light?   We know that everything in SCOT is fine because we can email the PO through configuration to the vendor without problem. It is just these extra copies that do not work.

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

PDF e-mail attachment will not open after FF update

FF 31 and/or 32
Outlook or GroupWise fat client
PDF attachments
After FF updated PDF's were re-associated with FF not the installed PDF program. Used Windows to re associate PDF's to PDF program. No problem, all PDF's open in PDF program UNLESS the PDF is an attachment in an e-mail.
Open e-mail fat client (doesn't matter the client) try and open the PDF and user gets message stating there is no program associated with attachment. Yet, all PDF's still open with correct PDF program as long as they are not in the e-mail. Now here's the really weird part.....
If there are two or more PDF's attachments in the same e-mail the first one will not open but the second, thirds, etc attached PDF's will open with the correct PDF program.
The only temporary solution I have found is to uninstall FF, re-install it and for a 1/2 day the issue goes away. I have not figured out the trigger that resets the issue.
FF is my go-to browser, but since v 31 this has been happening and if it keeps up, I'm switching to Chrome.
Come on Tech Support, help us out with this issue.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.

Does that resolve the issue for you?

Attach PDF to PO object services list works for ME23N but not ME22N

Manualy attach a PDF file from users PC to a PO. The attachment works for ME23N as described in SAP documentation for creating an attachment to the object services attachments list.
When ME22N is used the "attachment created" message displays but exiting the PO and reenter ME22N and the attachment is not saved in the services attachment list.
Where is the configuration for this object service attachmentS?
What is needed for ME22N that is different than ME23N?

Hi,
I don't think any difference b/w these 2 Transaction related to attachment of document through Services for Object.
If you have the authorization for ME22N transaction definitely you can attachment any document both in ME22N & ME23N transaction throught this Services for Object.
Check once again.If still you face the problem discuss with your Basis Consultant

Mail PDF attachment is not visible

I have just owned a new iPad 4th generation and using it with full energy.
I have a query and if anyone can guide me.
I have configured Gmail in the Mail of my iPad. Now when I am getting an e-bill from Airtel India for payment, the attached PDF bill copy is not there in the mail.
Is it that I have to change any settings, please advice.
Thanks and Regards.

You should see a paper clip icon next to the senders name in the preview window if there is an attachment in the email. If you do see the icon but can't see the PDF, quit mail, reboot and look again.
From your home screen. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Attaching pdf files they do not open in adobe reader?

I just downloaded Mozilla as browser due to the many issues with IE. Now when attaching PDF files or trying to read PDF files they show up as a Mozilla icon or do not open with Adobe Acrobat.

Hi bboedeke,
That is because Firefox is set as default program for opening .pdf files by Windows.
There are two ways to change it.
1,
Right click on any pdf file --> choose "Open With" --> choose "Choose Default Program" --> now choose the application that you want to set as default for opening .pdf (in this case, Adobe reader.)
2,
Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/change-default-programs

Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
Very frustrating.

Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product will enable this?

Both Acrobat and Reader 10/11 can, and previous versions of Reader can if the document is enabled to allow it. Mobile versions of Reader can too.

Trying to attach pdf files to emails I'm sending to myself. Instead of attaching the file, it copies the text. I want the file so I can have it on my iPad. I've been able to do this in the past, but not the last two tries. What's wrong? Thanks.

You aren't doing anything wrong.
If the PDF is short enough, your iPad Mail app will display the text as part of the mail.
Actually it is still an attachment.
Tap and HOLD on the text and you should see options to "Open In..." that will allow you to open the PDF in most PDF readers such as iBooks, GoodReader, etc.

Attach pdf not as an attachment
