Hiding pdf received in Mail

I love mail and its threaded messages but I often have to send and recieve huge PDFs with lots of detail. This slows Mail down to a crawl when im scrolling through past messages. A lot of the time I will open the PDF straight in Preview so dont really want to preview it in Mail.
Is there anyway I can have attachments as thumbnails until I open them?

There are two ways that I know to make a mail attachment become an icon. PDF icons are not document image views.
In the Compose Attachment option, check Send Windows-friendly attachments, and from a right-button menu, choose View as Icon.
Should a PDF attachment arrive with a single page displayed (View in Place), you can again choose View as Icon from the right-button menu.
As a test, I just sent myself a PDF attachment between mail accounts. It arrived iconified. I could choose the QuickLook option, which also offers to open the PDF attachment in the default viewer.
There are options under Mail > Preferences > Rules
You can identify an attachment type of PDF, then take an action from the following list:

  • Unable to open PDFs in received e-mail (Outlook)?

    Unable to open PDFs received in Outlook (Office for Mac 2011).  Adobe XI message displayed says "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  Same PDFs attached to same mail messages open fine on iPad or iPhone. What could be the problem?

    ivone dos santos,
    Do you see a message like this when you open one of your PDF documents?
    Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form".  The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
    As far as I know, no PDF viewers for iOS and Android mobile devices support dynamic XFA forms.  Here are the examples of the iOS apps that do not support dynamic XFA forms.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Mail
    Safari
    iBooks
    The PDF preview feature in Dropbox and other apps
    The message is trying to tell you to use the latest desktop version of Adobe Reader, not the mobile version of Adobe Reader.  I agree that the sentence, "You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader...", is somewhat misleading.  The message is baked into the dynamic XFA form that was authored by Adobe LiveCycle (desktop app) without regard for non-desktop apps (i.e. mobile apps).  Upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for iOS would not help in this case.
    Currently, the only option to view and fill out dynamic XFA forms is to use the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
    Sorry for the confusion.

  • Delivers OK - but I receive no Mail with a pdf - File (only Warnings)

    Hello together,
    in installed the JobManager, I configured and now I'm able to create IBots with Delivers. In addition I can see the jobs in the Job Manager with ExitCode = 1.

  • How do I SAVE a PDF (received as an attachment) directly to my iPhone 4S?

    How do I SAVE a PDF (received as an attachment) directly to my iPhone 4S?

    If you view the attachment in the mail program, and click and hold somewhere on the pdf (I usually use the top right, don't know if it works in other places), you will get an open in button appear. If you then choose to open the pdf in Reader, it will be saved with all the Reader documents.

  • PDF attachment in mail adapter

    Hi
    I am reading mailbox using mail adapter. But i cannot read the PDF attachment in that mail. I use "PayloadSwapBean" in the module, but it is packing the mailbody to the text file, but they is no sign of PDF attachment. How to read the attachment.
    Regards
    Andy

    Hi Anandan,
    You can use Java/ABAP proxies to do this job for you..
    Java Proxy >> will read the mail(with the attachments) with the help of Java APIs and send the message into XI ABAP Proxy >> for this you will have to first convert the attachment into a message and then you can proceed in the regular fashion.
    Not all adapters can process attachments, I'm not sure why you are having trouble with using module processor in the mail adapter. Just check if the service pack that you are using supports this feature.
    If you are on WAS 6.10 and above you can achieve this and there is an excellent weblog by Thomas Jung on this topic at
    /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher

  • How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    If someone sends you an attachment, it's going to show up where they attached it in their message to you.
    Messages with attachments show a paper clip icon in two places, in the middle column of the Mail window, next to the senders name, and next to the sender's name at the top of the message itself.
    One way to make messages with attachments show more clearly is to create a Mail Rule, like this:
    By setting a colored background to the messages that contain attachments, they'll stand out pretty clearly in the message list.
    Note that there are several different types of attachments in the dropdown menu (where you see Document and PDF above). Keep pressing the plus sign to add different attachment types to your rule so that all will stand out on your list of messages.

  • Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments.

    Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments. Other recipients of the same email DO receive these attachments. It doesn't matter whether it is a jpg, pdf, doc, or other. Sending from gmail or entourage works, only sending from apple mail is a problem.  This has been an ongoing problem for me in Lion and Snow Leopard. I'm new to this forum, so not sure I'm posting in the right area, but I've searched for an answer and can't find anything. Do I need a plug-in or something?  I like my apple mail and don't want to switch, but this is a real problem for me.  Help, please!

    We have the same problem in Snow Leopard, so the problem isn't new. I've been researching this for a while now. Based on what I've read in a whole load of discussions it seems it's an issue in the way Outlook reads the e-mails send by Apple Mail. I've no idea of the technicalities of this but one obvious difference is that Mail's default formatting is Rich Text and Outlook's is HTML, but what do I know.
    We've done variuos test with our PC based clients but with no success: Send as Icon; Window's friendly attachement; Mail Attachement Iconiser, etc. Nothing gets rid of the problem entirely. We're a Mac based Public Relations agency and we send image to the media all of the time...and we have no guarantees that they are getting through.
    It's frustrating that Mail doesn't have an option, as it does for plain text, to send in an outlook friendly way. To me it's a huge problem and if Apple isn't going to sort it, given that Outlook is the choice of Enterprise and 95% of our clients, then we're going to have to spend thousands and switch to Outlook. Apple have gone to great pains to promote cross-compatibility with PC's and perhaps this is one little example of where they could try harder.
    Mail has not had much obvious love and attention for a while and if there's an Apple employee looking in on this thread, perhaps it's time to love it up, give it a few more bells and whistles (without over-complicating of course) and make it sing with Outlook.
    My last attenpt is to try Thunderbird as a default mail client; I'm told it doesn't suffer from the same PC compatibility issues.

  • PDF in iPad Mail to Numbers

    Is it possible to open a PDF that I receive in Mail in Numbers? I only get a choice to open in iBooks or Air Sharing. I can open Excel email attachments and Numbers allows exporting Excel files as an PDF file, so why can't it work the other way?

    No because a PDF is really just a very detailed picture of the document, not the actual working file. There are some third party apps that can change a PDF to say word but don't know of any that work with excel /numbers.

  • Opening pdf's in MAIL - ios 8.3.1

    I have recently updated to ios 8.3.1 and notice that now any pdf's I receive in MAIL are automatically opened as Images rather than pdf's which in the past I have been able to open with iBooks and save in necessary. Any Ideas how to correct?

    Hi Gerard
    You'll need to use at least Adobe Reader 8.1 with Safari 3, otherwise, Safari crashes. To install Reader 8.1.3, go here. At the site, click on the drop down selection menu and choose "Power PC 10.4.3 - 10.4.10". Otherwise, Adobe points you to Reader 9 instead of 8.
    Before installing Reader 8, go to your HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder and move to the trash the existing Adobe PDF plug-in. This way, you're ensured of a clean install of version 8.
    After the install, and prior to opening Safari, I suggest you go to your Applications>Utilities folder, open Disk Utility, highlight your HD and select "repair permissions".
    Post back and let us know if that stops the crashes.

    Possibly, check at the Adobe site. You can also drag the attachment to the desktop, open preview, under file click open set the pane to search desktop find the attachment select it and you can read PDF's in preview.

  • I can't receive any mails from other apps at my gmail on ipad 2

    I can sent and receive emails from my ipad 2, using gmail. However, when I try sharing documents, photo's etc. in other apps, I don't receive the mail.
    For instance:
    I made a mindmap in the app Ithoughts. Then composed an email, included the map (tried different formats including pdf).
    Send the email - that seems to work. But I never receive it on my gmail account. This also happens when I try to mail a photo from my photo library.
    I also tried different mail addresses, but it won't work anyhow.
    Sending and receiving mails directly to my mail account does work.
    Please help me!

    Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla
