Can't send single-page PDF files to other apps

When someone emails me a PDF with multiple pages, the files appears as an attachment in the email and I have to click on it to view it. Once I click on it, I am taken to a full screen view of the PDF and I can scroll to see the other pages. When I tap the screen, the square with an arrow point up appears in the upper right corner. When I touch the square with the arrow, I am given the option to send the PDF to Messages, Mail, etc. I also have a app on my iPad called PDF Expert and I can send it to this app as well. PDF expert lets me draw on the PDF so I can sign documents.
So here's the problem. When a single-page PDF is sent to me, it appears in-line, in the email body itself. It does not appear as an attachment. When I click on it, instead of it taking it to another page where I can view it full screen, it gives me the option to Select or Copy. This doesn't help me at all. I have had this problem with images showing up inline in the email body as well.
Being able to see the attachment inline is a nice idea, but there absolutely needs to be a way to send it to another page to be viewed full screen and to give the option to send it to other apps.

I have been having the same problem... Here is how I solved it.
I removed all graphics from my automatic email signature line and then it worked!!!! For some reason, the ipad mail app cant handle a graphic signature block and an attachment.
Good Luck!

How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachments by icloud ??

How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

That's a bit excessive. The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

Single page PDF file in mail always appears in message body, instead of as an attachment, contrary to a multiple page PDF. Why?

When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?

Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

Cannot forward one page PDF files from mail app

My earlier topic had incorrect problem report so I've created a new topic.
The problem is i cannot forward one page PDF file from mail apps. I use imap set up for my work email.
Multi page PDFs, photos, docs, numbers, all forward OK for both windows and Mac formats.

Update: I hade had a reply from the Good Reader app developer saying this is a known issue even for them. However, they don't know if Apple will fix this or not.
Basically mail app treats all one page PDF as if it's an image and will forward it the same as it would an image. Any non-apple based mail programs will have issues viewing this file..

I can't edit multi page PDF file in Illustrator at once.

I made 30-page PDF file in Illustrator last week.
Yesterday my co-woker eited and sent to me.
but i can't open 30-pages all in once
instead of this window pops up and only 1 page of all open it.
How do I open all the page and edit it once without any script?
Last week I Could open it without asking.

Keep a backup of the .ai file. Your coworker should not be making edits to pdfs, only commenting tools. Tell your coworker not to do that again, unless they know what they are doing (eg: are creating from scripts). If they persist, or this is your boss, lock the PDF with security protection.
This script may help you. Keep in mind the popular pdf preset smallest file size converts to RGB, so your color will change and l;ayers possibly flattentin if Illustrator editing capabilites is lost.

Printing several pages from a single page pdf file

I have a pdf file single page of a schematic diagram illegible at A4 (so much information); viewable in parts on screen with zoom and loupe tool. How can I separate the diagram and print at a legible size on separate A4 sheets .

Use Preview .app
Open the first jpeg in Preview and:
+Menu > Tools > cmd A (select all) > Adjust Size > Click on Padlock to unlock > Measure: Pixels > Fit into: Custom > Uncheck Scale proportionally > Check Resample Image > enter 3x height and keep resolution the same+
You should now have an 3 times as high but distorted.
Paste the 1st image back into file and slide it to the top.
Copy and paste the 2nd and 3rd images and move them into place.
Resave with a new name.

Since I downloaded and installed adobe reader 10, I can't see web page pdf files in safari but I can copy and paste into firefox and I can see the pdf. How can I fix this?

Ever since I downloaded adobe reader 10, safari won't display web page pdf's but I can paste the URL in to firefox and can see it there. How can I fix this?

Quit Safari.
Go to /Library/Internt Plug-Ins.
Move the AdobePDFViewer.plugin to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.

After installing OS 10.9.1, I can't send multi-page PDFs via Mail

After I installed Mavericks, Mail would no longer allow me to send a PDF document over one page in length. It will allow only the first page of the pdf to be attached to the email.

Thanks for the signature update. If you don't do all signatures, but instead assign it to a specific email account does it work?
I'm working on a post about signatures (still in progress) but a couple of workarounds. Use System Prefs > Keyboard > Text to create a signature. I use @@ as a signature shortcut. You can't type in multiple lines, but you can paste them in if you create them in any message and use copy/paste.
There is also a signature plug-in from Chungwasoft called Graffiti, but that might be overkill for what you want.

How do I open single-page PDFs from Mail?

If I receive an email containing a one-page PDF, Mail shows it as an image. I want to see it as a PDF so I can open it in another app.
Multiple-page PDFs are fine.
This problem also exists when sending one-page PDF files from the iPad - they arrive as images.

Single page pdf files always appear as already open in the mail app.
I just created a single page PDF and emailed it to myself and this is what I get when I do what I suggebd that you do. This is how you do it. Why it is working for you I cannot explain.
If you haven't done so already, the next thing that I would try is to close the mail app completely and reboot your iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
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.

Need script to place multiple single page pdfs in ID pages

Does anyone know of a script that would place a whole folder full of single page pdf files into an indesign document one per page, alphabetically by pdf file name, and ideally add new pages as needed. The last part is optional, as the ID document could already have the required number of pages, all using the same master page with the the picture frame already in place.
In my current project, the pdfs are all the same size as the ID document page size.
This would be along the lines of the scripts that place multipage pdfs, but for single page ones. I have tried first creating a multipage pdf by inserting a folder full of single page pdfs at the end of an initial pdf. Acrobat 8 pro does this very well indeed, but selects the pages from the source folder in random order. I need them in alphabetical order.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

For this project I could equally well use a script that would place or re link to a new pdf in a single page ID document, print device independent postscript with some sort of unique or sequential filename, and repeat the process for a whole folder of source pdf files. No new pages need to be added, and the new pdf could replace the prior one.
What I am after is a device independent ps file for these pdf files. The ones produced by batch processing from Acrobat 8 Pro do not offer enough control, as in that method I would need *only* the black separation.
Thanks,
Al

In the mail app why can't I see single page pdf attachment created by SSRS R2 on iPad with iOS 8?

We have reports that are generated using Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 and are distributed to users by email as a PDF attachment. This worked fine in iOS 7 but ever since users have updated to iOS 8 the single page PDF is missing even though it has the paper clip icon indicating there is an attachment with the email. If the PDF is multiple pages then the PDF icon would appear but there seems to be a problem with the single page pdf that is embedded on the mail app in iOS 8.
We've recreated this issue creating a test report and sent it to iPads that have iOS 7, iOS 8 using different models of iPads (2, 3, 4) and the ones that have iOS 7 work fine. Only the ones that have iOS 8 have this issue. Also tried changing the format of the file to a PNG, TIFF and again the same results on the iPads with iOS 7 display it correctly. Another test we did was send the PDF to our personal email and open it on our home iPads we were not able to see the single page PDF on iOS 8. Looking at the headers of the email I can see the that the Content-Type is multipart/mixed. When the original is forwarded to oneself on the iPad the attachment is included but the Content-Type is application/ms-tnef.

Can you check your email headers, I have also noticed this for reports that are generated using Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. It could to be due to the Content-ID header I believe.
As a single page attachment on iPad will try and display inline, the Content_ID header is possibly affecting this and showing a small blank square as the image instead. Although this isn't defined as inline within the Content-Disposition header and will appear as an attachment on Outlook.

Create a single tall image from a multi-page pdf file

I would like to take a multi-pake pdf file, and have all of the pages "appended" from top to bottom edge to create a single tall image. I am a teacher, and I currently do this by hand, I am then able to annotate the entire page and croll down an entire document inside of Photoshop.
Here is an example: I have a pdf with 4 pages. Currently I open the pdf in PS, I end up with 4 images; I adjust the vertical canvas size of one of the images to be 4 times it's original size, then one-by-one I copy the contents of each image to that new tall image and move that layer vertically below the previous one. So the result is say a 1024x6400 pixel image.
I would like to be able to just open the pdf with a script and get this all done in one step.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again c.pfaffenbichler. I had most of it worked out in my own way before you got back to me, but I wasn't able to get the final naming part down.
Like I said, I am a math teacher, and I use photoshop as my whiteboard, and draw with a graphics tablet. So I can print to pdf from any program, now I can import any document into photoshop basically to write on it. So this is wonderful. I have never seen another teacher use PS as a whiteboard in class in this way, so I am most likely the only person in my county or state that would need such a script.
After I got everything worked out, I added some things to the script. Some of my colleagues will use my files as a whiteboard if I send it to them as a tall single page pdf that they can scroll down and write over; so they don't need photoshop. So I have scripted in the saving of that pdf as well. Here are my changes; most of what I changed is in the section commented MY WORK.

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.7 How do I rotate single page in a multiple page PDF file?

When I try rotating the page, it would rotate all of the pages in Adobe Reader. How can I rotate a single page out of the multiple page PDF file?

You can only rotate the entire document with the free Reader. And that only lasts for the current session. It is not permanent.
