Embedded file in PDF/Email

Hello All,
I have a PDF file (let's call it file 1) which I want to send by email. This PDF file has another PDF file (let's call it file 2) embedded in it. On my desktop, it works perfectly. I click on the link for file 2 file and it opens up.
However, when I send it by email, it does not work. File 1 opens but when I click on the link for file 2 it does not open.
What can I do?
Thanks!
P.S. I know that if the person who I am sending the file to saves it onto their computer it will work. However, I want it to work without them having to do this.

This is probably a security issue. If it is not saved on the computer, you are really looking at an attachment's attachment. If the person is using version 9 and this is the way it works there is nothing to be done. If the user is running Reader X, then they can try to turn off protected mode.

How to insert embedded files in PDF

Does anyone know how to embed files in a PDF file? I have a Word document where I inserted clickable files (ie, Outlook email message, another word document) but when I convert them to PDF, they are not clickable, meaning they can't be opened. I do not want to share the source file so is there a way to activate these files within the PDF file?
Any help is appreciated.

THANK YOU MIKE! I've never used this feature before, I have a follow up question, do I then have to email the attached documents as well or do they open automatically? Also, will the other user need to have the same Acrobat software to open them? I believe they only have Adobe Elements.
THANKS!

Two questions - embedded files and pdf creation

I'm wondering if some 'experts' can provide some information? We are a small education company that produce a monthly current events resource for Canadian schools. We provide these resources via mail and also as a pdf file from our website.
We are not 'experts' by any stretch of the imagination but we have been able to make ID suit our needs and we are learning slowly as we go. Over the summer, we hired a graphics company to refresh our products and we are very happy with the work they did.
What Im wondering about is they are advising that its bad to have pictures, etc. embedded in ID when creating a pdf file. I have never heard of this and Im wondering if someone can explain why?
Also, we have always created pdfs by printing a postscript file and then using Distiller to create the pdf, but again Im told that this is not a good idea and that creating the pdf directly from ID is best. I have tried this but the file sizes always seems to be larger and keeping it small is important.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Robert and Jeffrey
Thanks for the info and advice. The reason that we have always embedded the files is that the file moves around the office while different people work on it on their own computers. And I also have a home office and I work there sometimes.
The file is about 30 - 40 pages and there are usually about 20 - 25 images so its just so much easier to embed all the links and just move the one file. We have found this to be the easiest way to work and we have never had any issues . . .

Extract All Embedded Files in All Folders and Save Each? Copy/Paste from PDF to Word?

I have most of what I need here, but I’m missing 2 important pieces.
#1) I want to copy/paste from all PDF files in a folder and paste the copied data into a single Word file.
It works fine if I have ONLY Word docs in my folder. When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in
the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.
#2) I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.
Here the code that I’m working with now.
Sub Foo()
Dim i As Long
Dim MyName As String, MyPath As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Documents.Add
MyPath = "C:\Users\001\Desktop\Test\" ' <= change this as necessary
MyName = Dir$(MyPath & "*.*") ' not *.* if you just want doc files
On Error Resume Next
Do While MyName <> ""
If InStr(MyName, "~") = 0 Then
Selection.InsertFile _
FileName:="""" & MyPath & MyName & """", _
ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
Attachment:=False
Dim Myshape As InlineShape
Dim IndexCount As Integer
IndexCount = 1
For Each Myshape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If Myshape.AlternativeText = PDFname Then
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(IndexCount).OLEFormat.Activate
End If
IndexCount = IndexCount + 1
Next
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
End If
On Error Resume Next
Debug.Print MyName
MyName = Dir ' gets the next doc file in the directory
Loop
End Sub
If this has to be done using 2 Macros, that’s fine.
If I can do it in 1, that’s great too.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi ryguy72,
>>When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.<<
Based on the code, you were insert the file via the code Selection.InsertFile. I am trying to reproduce this issue however failed. I suggest that you insert the PDF file manually to see whether this issue relative to the specific file. You can insert PDF
file via Insert->Text->Object->Text from file.
If this issue also could reproduced manually, I would suggest that you reopen a new thread in forum to narrow down whether this issue relative to the specific PDF file or Word application.
>> I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.<<
We can save the embedded spreadsheet via Excel object model. Here is an example that check the whether the inlineshape is an embedded workbook and save it to the disk for you reference:
If Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.ClassType = "Excel.Sheet.12" Then
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb xlPrimary
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.SaveAs "C:\workbook1.xlsx"
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Close
End If
And since the Word object model doesn't provide API to save the embedded PDF, I would suggest that you get more effective response from PDF support forum to see whether it supports automation. If yes, we can export the PDF as embedded spreadsheet like code
absolve.
Hope it is helpful.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Why can't I attach files in an email instead of having them embedded?

Can't figure out how to attach files in an email. They always come up embedded. I need to send files to someone to edit them. Help please.
I'm sure this is an easy fix.
Using Leopard on a MacBook Pro and Iphoto 08
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can. Control-click on the embedded photo and select View as Icon from the menu.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

I have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

How can I attach a PDF file to an email?

I would like to attach a PDF file to an email, how can I?

If you have the PDF stored on the iPhone as a separate file you obviously also have a third party app for reading it, so you should be able to e-mail it from there.
If it's on an existing e-mail, forward the e-mail and just change the contents but include the pdf

Can I print a pdf file from an email on an HP printer Deskjet 5100?

Can I print a pdf file received through Email on an HP Deskjet 5100 printer and how?

Save the file to your hard drive, open it in Adobe Reader and print. Unless the file has security restrictions against printing, those steps should work.

Is it possible to burst PDF file on the email body itself?

Hi,
Is it possible to show the contents of a PDF file (or any file) on the email body itself and not as an attachment thru bursting control file? We want the message to look exactly as how it looks like in the PDF file, with all the formatting and stuff and not just plain text. So basically instead of the recipient having to open the attached document, we already want the contents of the document shown exactly on the email.
Thanks,
Ronaldo

Actually, I am using onunload() but the result is in-consistent. Sometimes file write to the folder, sometimes don't. I don't know why it behave like this.
Before onunload(), I tried this cep.util.registerExtensionUnloadCallback, and found out it's not working as expected.
Now thanks to you and David, I came to know aboutcom.adobe.csxs.events.ExtensionUnloaded but unfortunately this is also not working.
And then there is an event applicationBeforeQuit which only works when extension (html panel) get closed with host application (Photoshop etc.). If it is closed before the host then we don't get any call. Please let me know if I missed anything here.
So It looks like we don't have any option here rather than using onunload() which is giving in-consistent result. Can you please take a look into this, may be I am missing something?
Or may be another work around to store the preferences on closing of extension.
Thanks for all your help..
