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.

How do I prevent single-page PDFs from appearing inline in the email body?

When someone sends me a multiple page PDF, the email contains an attachment icon. When I click on the icon, the PDF is opened full-screen. When I click on the screen, icons appear including a box with an arrow pointing up. Clicking on this icon, lets me send the PDF to other applications such as iBooks.
When someone sends me a single-page PDF, the PDF is displayed inline in the body of the email and I do not see a way to send the PDF to other applications. Is there a way to view the PDF full-screen and thus send the document to other applications?
I have the new iPad (v3) running iOS 7.

What you are experience is totally normal and the expected behavior for a single page PDF as an attachment in an email. You can easily save it to another app by simply tapping and holding down on the open PDF and the Open In window will pop up. It may take a little practice but it does work. Just tap and hold down on the open PDF.

AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I'm not exactly sure where my new problem lies. I'm trying to save out single page PDFs from an Illustrator CS4 document with multiple artboards. Each artboard should become a PDF. I can get a multi page PDF, but when it saves single page files, I get white PDFs with error messages on them (I think it is saving .ai files with a .pdf extension).
this is where I am now (simplified, of course):
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set docName to name of current document
set itemNumber to 1
tell application "Finder" to set fileLoc to path to desktop as string
set pageCount to (count artboards in document docName)
tell current document
set allPlacedItems to placed items
repeat with h from 1 to (count of allPlacedItems)
set thisPlacedItem to item h of allPlacedItems
tell thisPlacedItem to embed
end repeat
set allTextItems to text frames
repeat with j from 1 to (count of allTextItems)
set thisTextItem to item j of allTextItems
tell thisTextItem to convert to paths
end repeat
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to pageCount
set pdfSaveOptions to {class:PDF save options, pdfXstandard:PDFX None, compatibility:Acrobat 6, preserve editability:false, generate thumbnails:false, optimization:false, acrobat layers:false, artboard range:i, view pdf:false, color downsampling:0, color resample:nodownsample, color compression:none, grayscale downsampling:0, grayscale resample:nodownsample, grayscale compression:none, monochrome downsampling:0, monochrome resample:nodownsample, monochrome compression:none, compress art:false, trim marks:false, registration marks:false, color bars:false, page info:false, page marks style:Roman, trim mark weight:trimmarkweight025, offset:6.0, bleed link:true, bleed offset:{0, 0, 0, 0}, color conversion id:none, color destination id:none, color profile id:include all profiles, trapped:false, font subset threshold:50.0}
set pdfName to docName & "TEST" & itemNumber & ".pdf"
set destFile to (fileLoc & pdfName) as string
save document 1 in file destFile as pdf with options pdfSaveOptions
set itemNumber to (itemNumber + 1)
end repeat
close current document without saving
end tell

// Save the artboards to PDF.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var original_filename = myDoc.name.toString();
// alert (myDoc.name.toString() )
// Get the folder location
var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder to save the PDF files to:');
// Get the number of artboards to export from a dialogue
var total = myDoc.artboards.length
//     Number.selectDialogue('Total Number of Files to be made')
if (destFolder) {
     for (i=0; i<total; i++)
          var destFile = new File(destFolder+original_filename+"_"+i);          //     Assign incrementing filenames
          var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
          pdfSaveOptions.viewAfterSaving = false;          //     Don't want to see these fles in Reader
          pdfSaveOptions.SaveMultipleArtboards = true;
          var range = new String();
          range = (i+1).toString();
          pdfSaveOptions.artboardRange= range;     //     not Assign incrementing page range
          myDoc.saveAs (destFile, pdfSaveOptions);
I've run this script on the 3 art board document the Adobe sample scripts create. It's a just different coloured star on each artboard.
This script appears to work in as far as I get 3 files with just one artboard showing when I open the files in Adobe Reader. Problem is when I open them in AI, I can see all the artwork is still there and even more stranger is the fact that the numbers are still 1,2,3 whereas in Reader it's just page i showing as page 1 each time.
This could be a problem when the application I'm writing generates an image structure from the files if it sticks the excess data onto the GPU (not sure if it will or not). If it includes all the data, also it just makes the Application footprint bigger by a 8 MB or so of unnecessary baggage. An issue for a 'light weight' app.
I noticed the export ExportArtboardsPhotoshop.jsx script has this line:
psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
It works in that context but in PDF context it only works in terms of what Reader shows not what exists in the files. Good one Adobe… Makes me wonder what the Multiple art boards method did before AI had multiple art boards. How was AI dividing the objects?!
Also I really need a SaveAsCopy (non-existent I think) method or I'll have to keep reopening the original file and then doing SaveAs.
Back to manual duplicating files in finder, batch renaming, opening them all and deleting excess. Or export to PSD and get my dimensions right or just oversized (I can always down sample in the app)…
This is truly a painful exercise!

How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?

How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
I mixed down a song from my band's latest session and saved it as a .m4a file (Apple AAC Audio format) and I e-mailed it to myself. Then on my phone I opened the e-mail message in Mail and held a long-press down on the attached .m4a file. But I do not see the option to open it up into the Music app. It only gives me the options of iMovie, WeChat, and USB Disk. Why would I want to open it up in those? It's a song. It should open up into the Music app so I can play it. What the heck?
Please don't tell me that I have to use iTunes to do this and sync my phone to my computer, because I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library. They are *practice session tracks* that I want to listen to then delete later when we have new versions.
If there is no way to open them into the Music app, then is there a music player app I can get somewhere that will let me simply save audio files from Mail into it, and use it as a player for those songs? That's all I want to do.
The only reasonable workaround I have found so far is to save them as .mp4 audio files, which the iPhone thinks are movies, so it lets me save them into the camera roll as Videos.
Voice Memos would be acceptable as a place for them to be able to open into as well, but of course that's also not on the options list. Sigh.

Why is that such an issue for you?
Why do people insist on replying to threads without even reading the original post? I explained it there already!
I don't have to use iTunes to save an image from Mail into my camera roll, or to save a PDF from Mail into iBooks. Why should I have to use iTunes to save a music file into Music app?
But I'll repeat it since evidently you can't be asked to read the original posts before spamming a thread with questions that have already been answered. I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library.
My iTunes library is a sacred temple into which I only allow to enter the very best and highest-fidelity musical recordings of all time. I refuse to sully and soil my iTunes library with crappy practice mixdowns from my band, etc.
Want to know why? Because I like to be able to hit "shuffle all" on my iTunes library and know that something that will improve my existence will emanate forth from this amazing device that I have invested thousands of dollars into (yes, I count my cell phone plan amongst the expenses).
I shall not have the crappy burner mixdown tracks from my band's practice sessions come up every five songs (we generate TONS of these... literally hundreds... and they are all high-bitrate .m4a tracks in the 10-15 MB range). I let iTunes keep my music folder organized on my computer. It makes copies of everything being placed into it, and I don't want 159 GB of copies of burner tracks hiding like roaches throughout my temple. We don't name these files anything sensible (in fact the guy who mixes them down intentionally gives them random weird names) and they lack metadata. So there's no easy way to delete them back out of iTunes once they're in there. It's a huge pain; I used to do it, but I swore it off years ago and *I'm never going back!*
The REAL question is, why does Apple force me to have to use iTunes—the most convoluted, kludgy piece of bloatware ever to issue forth from Cupertino—to do something as simple as adding an MP3 from Mail into the Music app on my phone? Why can't there be something simple—something equivalent to the Camera Roll inside the Music app, not only for the files I want to save from Mail, but also for my Garage Band exports, not to mention all the exports from all the various synthesizer, drum machine, and recording apps I use on a daily basis in iOS?
It would be awfully nice to be able to play the songs I've recorded right in the Music app without having to go through the rigamarole of adding those files to my iTunes library, tagging them with metadata, syncing, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda—just to delete them again as soon as I've synced so they don't pollute my computer's iTunes library!
I bought Apple for ease of use, not so I would be forced to jump through a million hoops just do to something that ought to take one tap to accomplish! That's ridiculous!

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

Creating single page pdfs from a brochure designed in spreads format

Hi there,
So I've been asked to take a brochure that is in spreads, and save each panel as a single page pdf. So basically, in document setup, the page size is 17.75 x 8.5). There are four panels, each panel is roughly 4.3708 x 8.5. The problem is, each panel was not created as a single page in indesign...instead, it's set up as a 17.75 x 8.5 document and the panels are created within that document size.
I guess I wanted to find out if there is an efficient way of creating these single panel pdfs from what I've been given.
Anybody know?

It's either copy/paste into a properly laid out facing pages document (the best choice if it will need editing in the future), or place the pages, each one twice, into a facing pages pages doc and crop the wrong half off each page. In either case, you'll need to rearrange the pages into readers' spreads.

How to have only single pages printed from iphoto book

I would like to know if it is possible to have pages printed from an iphoto book that is not bound. I just want the loose pages to create an ongoing scrapbook not an already bound book. Is this possible?

If you print yourself one way to do it is to start to print the whole book by typing Command+P. Then in the print window select either All, Single or Range and then put in the page numbers you want to print. Then click on the PDF button and select Save PDF to iPhoto from the drop down menu.
Screenshot from iPhoto 11 in Lion - Click to view full size
This will create a 200 dpi jpg file for the page and import it into iPhoto. From there you can print it yourself or have a local photofinisher print it on whatever stock you'd like.

How to create a multi-page PDF from a password protected website?

Is there an automated way to create a PDF containing multiple levels of pages from a website that requires login with username & password? I've tried the 'Create PDF from web page' function but get an authentication error every time. Even tried adding the username & password to the URL (http://username:[email protected]...), to no avail. I really don't want to PDF each page individually and then manually merge them into one PDF. Any ideas?
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows 7.

Unless Adobe changed something recently in the way this function of Acrobat
works, it's not possible.

How do you remove single click delete from mail?

I accidentally delete emails when cleaning out my inbox and was wondering if there is anyway to remove this single click delete function. I remember setting up mail and being asked if I wanted to remove the warning popup. Anyone know how to add this back?

You can remove it in Mail. Go to the Window > Previous Recipients. In the new pop up window you can highlight the ones you don't want and hit the "remove from list" button.
Hope this helps..

How to delete a single email address from Mail?

Hello,
I am asking this question for my mom who is 80 years old. We both use Mac's, but for email, I'm on Entourage so I am unable to help her with her Mac Mail question.
Recently, I signed up for MobileMe, and a few of my emails to her came from my new MobileMe address (which I do not want to use for email---I am using MobileMe for other things). So now that the MobileMe address is somehow "in" her Mail program, whenever she writes a new email to me, it defaults to my MobileMe address. She can't remember to check what the address is every time she sends an email (she's 80 years old!)---she just wants to be able to type my name ("Andy") and have it go to the same Comcast address that it has always gone to.
I've played around with my Mail application, but since I'm unfamiliar with it, I don't know what to tell her. Is there a way to get that MobileMe address of mine OUT of her computer so it won't keep sneaking in there like that?
Thank you very much!
PS: She is using a MacBook with 10.5.something.....

Great--thank you! I will give her this information in the morning and see what happens. Oh how I hope this fixes it.

Open single page e-mailed pdf in another app.

I like to e-mail .pdfs to myself for opening in other apps, such as FileApp where I keep relevant documents for reference, or GoodNotes, where I may do a mark up on them. This works fine for multi-page pdfs, but where I e-mail a single page pdf, it just shows up in the e-mail, instead of as an attachment that can be opened in another app. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Same problem here. TAP and HOLD does not show the option to OPen Wth... Another App.
Could you please confirm you don't have this problem?
Just email yourself a one-page PDF file with text in it, and see if you can open it in another app such as iBooks.
