Attaching to Email Problem

Hi,
I worked on several spread sheets. When I attempted to send them as attachments to my email, they would not send, and I got a message:
"Entourage cannot attach the item. Aladdin Systems Stuffit software must be installed on your computer in order to attach this item to a message."
Does anyone know why? It seems like it should not be a problem. By the way, it was not a large file.
Thanks!

Numbers documents, like Pages documents & many OS X applications are actually packages, a folder that looks like a single items. Entourage is seeing the folder but can't compress it so it says to use Stuffit. You can compress the file in the Finder by Control- or right-clicking the document & choosing "create archive"… from the contextual menu. This will create a .zip file that Entourage should be able to handle. The other option is to use OS X's Mail which will compress the file automatically.

Adobe Attach to Email problem

I have recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium and Adobe Reader 9.4.0. Whilst in Adobe Reader I attempt the attach to Email and receive this error message "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program". Any Ideas how I overcome this problem. Sorry, I forgot to say that Windows 7 Live Mail is the only mail program that is running on this system.

Acrobat 9.4.2 update breaks 'attach to email' functionality

Everyone - The recent 9.4.2 CPSID_83708 Acrobat update has caused the 'attach to email' function not to work. This is happening for at least two of my users whose computers are running Windows XP Professional. I just installed the update on my Windows Vista machine in an effort to recreate the issue, but the problem did not manifest itself in my Vista machine.
I have read with interest the print problems that several users are reporting related to this patch. I have had no problems printing, but the 'attach to email' issue is extremely troubling to us. I realize that the work-around is to send the attachments directly from our email program which we are doing. However, this does not decrease the urgency to get this resolved. Some of our users are extremely accustomed to accomplishing tasks in a certain manner, and much stress results when I try to change their habits.
When they click 'attach to email', an error message comes up that says 'Adobe Acrobat 9.4.2 has encountered a problem and needs to close.' I am attaching the detailed information that I could view from the error window below. Please advise on how I can uninstall this 'uninstallable' patch. I have currently advised users to opt out of any Adobe updates, but I am sure that people will continue to receive them.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Could someone from Adobe respond to this specific issue so that we know we are being heard? Will the fix for the print issue also resolve the 'attach to email' problem? Is there any work around other than telling users to attach directly from their email programs?
Thanks in advance for your response to our concerns.

DEP crashes Adobe Reader 9.4.2 when using attach to email

Hi
I face a problem on our two windows 2008 SP2 RDS servers. When viewing a .pdf file in Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and using the attach to email option the program gets shut down by Data Execution Prevention and crashes AR. Usually with one of these errors.
Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 9.4.2.220, time stamp 0x4d467676, faulting module dhcpcsvc.DLL, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03708, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00001895, process id 0x3e04, application start time 0x01cbe879dbad53f0.
sometimes its dhcpcsvc6.dll too.
We're running Outlook 2007.
It is not possible to add AcroRD32.exe to the exceptionlist for DEP.
Any word on how to fix this?

The message cannot be seen on incoming emails. I can only view the message if I click on reply. Also any links attached to email will not open. I have tried everything to solve the problem but not able to.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi Chhayank,
the problem is not the exported xls. If you have a look inside with Notepad or something like that, you will see that your leading zeros are exported correct.Excel-settings occurs this problem, it is all about how to open the document. If you use the import-assistant you will have no problems because there are options available how to handle the different columns.
Another solution might be to get familiar with ABAP2XLS-Project. I got in my mind, that there is a method implemented, that will help you solving this problem. But that is not a five minute job

Adobe Reader 'Attach to Email' is not working

I have a client that is running Windows 7 and when opening a PDF with Adobe Reader is unable to use the "Attach to Email" function. We tried this with Adobe X, Adobe 9.3, Adobe 9.4.2. None of these will work. An error occurs: "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program." We get the same error on any of these versions. For some reason Adobe 9.3.4 upgrade does not install with 9.3, where I read in a resource discussion that this version should work ion Windows 7.
Adobe Reader X seems to be a known issue with Windows 7 for this problem. My client recently upgraded from Windows XP and did not have this problem on that OS. A current work-around is to save the PDF then attach it to an email, but she would greatly prefer to use the Attach to Email function within Adobe Reader without having to save the PDF and manually attach it.
Thanks for any help!

I have the same issue using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows 7. Attach to email function is NOT working.
It worked when I had outlook 2007 installed, but I couldn't find where to change the setting to thunderbird.
I uninstalled outlook. Now the attach to email feature won't work at all.
Thunderbird is set to the default email client in windows . . . this is extremely annoying!!
File > Attach to email . . . It appears this feature doesn't work with any emails client except outlook??????
Attach to email worked on WinXP for Lotus Notes 8.5 email client (maybe an older Adobe Reader, version 9.4), but not after we upgraded to Win7. No Adobe Reader versions we have tried will work on Win7 for Lotus Notes.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. How can I go back to attached images?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window. It's very slow and tedious for multiple images. How can I go back to attached and displayed images? If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

Scott,
My problem seemed to fix itself. Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something. Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it. A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to. Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step. Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again! Solved, but I'm not sure why.

Error opening PDF file when send as attachment via email

Hi,
I searched around the forum to resolve my issue and there's alot of post that is related but i can't find any answer to my issues.
Here's the scenario :-
I try to convert the smartform to PDF and then send the PDF as an attachment via email.
After converting the smartform to PDF, i managed to download the file and view it without any problem but i can't view the PDF as an attachment. It has the following error :-

Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 – Attach to email not working

Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 / OS 10.6.4
I am having a very annoying issue with the "Attach to email" feature in Acrobat 9.4. I keep getting the error below every time I try using this feature. I don't have the same problem if use/switch the email client Mail from Apple. Just wondering if this is an Adobe issue or a Microsoft issue.
Thank you,

Yes at one time Acrobat only supported Entourage, a ver obscure program called Mailsmith, and Eudora, and Apple Mail. (Eudora was taken over by Mozilla Or rather the R&D for it was handed over to Mozilla.)
Yet most everyone on apple side of equation use ThunderBird, SeaMonkey, Even Opera. the message I receive is That Seamonkey or Thunderbird doesn't know how to talk to your email clent. Yet in their specifications Mozilla products show they are Mbox compliant.
On PC side they will talk to just about any Email except Mozilla Products. Its as if they put in features yet don't support software that can handle the features so most people are stuck un able to use the fetaures. Why can't Adobe get along with other software vendors. Is there Software Devopment staff so out of touch or have such a low skill set That they don't know how to write code but those name applications?
I put a Bug report for support of Mozilla Products for uears do it about once or twice a year for last 10 years or so. Goes in one ear and out the other.

There was an error opening document. Access denied. Cant open pdf attached to emails

I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader x and can't open files attached to emails in Outlook 2010. If I save the file, I can open it. I assume it has something to do with protected view or such but can't find where to change settings. I can open .doc and .xlsx files attached to emails so it seems to be only an issue with .pdf files attached to emails in Outlook. Suggestions?

To make things simple for you, here are two ways for you fix the problem:
A. Fix One PC
Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
Go to: Edit > Preferences...
Click on "General" in the left pane.
Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
Click OK to save your change.
Exit Adobe Reader
B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization
Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
Microsoft Outlook and other email clients
I hear this will also fix the "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." error that is occurring with any email client, including Microsoft Outlook Express; Microsoft Outlook 2010, 2007, 2003; Eudora; Mozilla Thunderbird.

Sending a binary attachment via email, looking for a more clean way

Hi experts.
I finally managed to send a binary attachment via email. Why "finally"? Never done before!
Also I got to manage the "not standard" .SAP file extension, because the attachment is a transaction link.
So let me explain how i did it:
take SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, filling following input data:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data              = st_docdata
      commit_work                = 'X'
    TABLES
      packing_list               = lt_packlist
      contents_hex               = lt_hex
      contents_txt               = lt_content
      receivers                  = lt_recv
    EXCEPTIONS
      too_many_receivers         = 1
      document_not_sent          = 2
      document_type_not_exist    = 3
      operation_no_authorization = 4
      parameter_error            = 5
      x_error                    = 6
      enqueue_error              = 7
      OTHERS                     = 8.
But how to fill lt_hex? Well I did not found a way to transfer text data into raw data structure (lt_hex is type SOLIX).
So, here is the trick:
fill another table, lt_bin type SOLISTI1, with attachment content (text data);
dump lt_bin content to a file on application server, having care to specify TEXT MODE and UTF-8 encoding;
now reopen the same file in BINARY MODE and transfer content to lt_hex.
Why I did not use parameter
content_bin
? Because SAP ECC 6 is unicode enabled (I think UTF-16) and file has got to be UTF-8 or ASCII. Also, packing_list for attachment must specify binary tranfer mode. And doing so each UTF-16 character (2 bytes) is split into 2 characters (1 char + 1 NUL byte). Attachment is now unusable.
What is the question? Here it is: how to fill lt_hex data directly from text (UTF-16) data, avoiding conversion errors?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Chhayank,
the problem is not the exported xls. If you have a look inside with Notepad or something like that, you will see that your leading zeros are exported correct.Excel-settings occurs this problem, it is all about how to open the document.

Acrobat's "Attach to Email" fails due to tooltip behavior???

OK, let me start out by acknowledging that I’m claiming
my car won’t start because the bathroom light is on …
but here goes:
I’ve got a menu of PDF’s with icons next to each
to open, print, email, or select (for multi-print/email) All of the
icons have the tooltip behavior, the only modification being a
slight increase in the offset of the tooltip. The tooltips all work
fine, the icons all work fine, everything opens, prints, or
attaches to emails (via a MAPI behavior I’ve written) as
expected … except … if you open a PDF document and
select “Attach to Email” from Acro Reader’s file
menu, a MAPI email form pops up but hitting send does nothing. Once
a particular instance of the reader has been corrupted it can no
longer email any PDF, even those opened directly by the OS,
however, my own MAPI behavior remains functional and I can still
email PDFs directly from the menu … so the corruption appears
to be in the reader, not the email client.
Before you think I’m crazy, I tried a simple test: 2
buttons, one with just the file open behavior, the other with file
open + tooltip. The file open only behavior works fine all day
long, the file open + tooltip behavior will eventually cause
problems with the reader’s email capability … maybe not
the first time, but after 5 or 6 tries the problem will eventually
surface. Once the problem has surfaced, closing the offending
document but leaving the instance of the reader open will cause all
subsequent attempts to email to fail when opening the PDF from
either button. Closing the reader will restore email if the PDF is
opened from the non-tooltip button and we’re back to where we
started.
We have demonstrated the problem with both Acro Reader 8, and
Acro 7 Pro on XP Pro. Anyone know what might be happening?

I added these additional strings via Reg Editor. Similar to a previous posting and it now works fine.
