How NOT to embed attachments?

I am trying to ATTACH a pdf file to an outgoing email, but no matter what I do it appears inline instead of being a clickable attached file. What's the secret to NOT embedding your attachments within email? I can't find anything under Preferences.
TIA.

Does the recipient indicate the PDF is not received as an attached file (embedded) which cannot be saved outside of the message?
The Mail.app displays all photo/image and 1 page PDFs inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off.
An inline or viewed in place attachment is not the same thing as being embedded.
You can control-click on an inline or viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but regardless, depending on the recipient's email client such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened (as with the Mail.app when receiving such attachments) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
The same in reverse. When attaching photo/image or 1 page PDF files to a message with Windows Outlook or Outlook Express, they are shown as attached files only when sending but when received by the Mail.app, such attachments appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened for which the sender has no control over unless they compress or zip the attachment or attachments.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML and with Windows Outlook (depending on the version used by the recipient), sometimes an inline or viewed in place attachment sent with Tiger Mail using RTF for message composition (along with a signature and/or depending on if the attachment is inserted after all message text or within message text) will be received as embedded but this has more to do with a problem with Outlook since the same doesn't occur with all email clients.
If any of your recipients are reporting such attachments are truly embedded when received, using Plain Text for message composition will resolve it.
There is a plug-in for the Mail.app called Mail Attachments Iconizer but the previous info provided still applies.

E51: How not to receive attachments in email?

Hi,
I can't find anywhere how to disable attachments in emails!
I just want to receive the text. I can't believe it's not possible
If I put maximum mail size to, let's say 2kb, it still downloads the larger attachments...
Headers only doesn't work too.
Is that normal?
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are other e-mail progs like Profimail and Emoze whitch can be customized much better. I prefere Profimail. There is a trial version for 28 days on the net. Emoze is free.

How NOT to Embed Fonts in a Signature?

I've seen the various threads relating to problems with fonts in Mail and unexpected results when received by someone with different settings or on a different operating system. This is exacerbated by the fact that our office standard signatures have some bold and smaller size text (for a disclaimer). Thus, messages will show up for some people with a different font in the body of the message than in the signature, unless their default vieweing font just happens to be the same as the font in the sig. For example, if my signature is set as Arial, and my "message font" set in Mail's preferences is also Arial, my message will look fine. However, if I send it to someone who sets their "message font" to Times, then the body of my message will show up as Times whereas the signature will still be Arial. This is true if the receiver is another Apple Mail user or a Windows Outlook user. Either way, the results look sloppy, to say the least.
All the discussions revolve around how to force your font choice to show up on the other end. I explored that as a possibility, but I find the workaround (setting your "message font" as something different than what you want to send, and manually changing the font of EACH AND EVERY MESSAGE YOU WANT TO SEND before sending it) completely unacceptable, especially in a professional office environment. I looked into doing something with the signature, so that you essentially start typing your message in the body of the signature itself, thus inheriting its properties, but this doesn't work reliably since Mail puts its cursor before the sig, and certain text like "in a message dated...so-and-so said" will still default to no font.
So if forcing a particular font to be embedded isn't the answer, how about making sure no font is embedded? Sounds like a plan, right? Well, that seems to be just as difficult because of the signature. I can't check the "always match my default font" box, because then it strips out the bold text and makes the disclaimer the same size. On the other hand, it seems to always embed whatever font is assigned to the sig, rather than just size and bold properties. The machines in our office that still run Panther (which is most of them, unfortunately), do actually send their signatures with no font embedded, but still have size changes and bold. I can't seem to find a way to do this in Tiger or Leopard. I understand the reason is that Panther sends actual RTF, but Tiger and Leopard send HTML. I tried some of the tricks to edit the signatures manually with an HTML editor and re-saving a web archive out of Safari, but I've had trouble getting this to work properly. Even so, this again isn't a viable solution for the whole office once we upgrade to Leopard, which will be happening in the next few months.
So is there ANY way to make the signature and message body default to the same font, without having to resort to plain text messages?

Did you come up with a solution to this problem?!

How can I install attachments for SAP notes with zip-files ???

How can I install attachments for SAP notes with zip-files ???

Can you elaborate on your question? How exactly is your question related to SAP NetWeaver Portal: Application Integration? If you are really asking how to install attachments contained in SAP notes, there is no automatic/general way and you should ask your question in the Software Support and Maintenance space to begin with. What SAP note(s) are you looking at installing?

HT2523 My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

No, TextEdit cannot read those. You will need to convert them to .doc files first:
Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be able to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
Update: This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976831 takes you to a newer version 1.1.3 (released Nov 10, 2009).

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

How do you Embed a flyer in an email?

How do I embed a flyer that I have created through Word Project Gallery to an email. I want the flyer to be open when the user opens the email. I do not want the flyer to appear as text or an attachment. This is being sent to customers so I want them to see the flyer immediately and not click over it as an attachment.
Do I save it as html or pdf? html did not seem to work. I have tried to research this on-line but I find the information very confusing and does not seem to apply because if may be a different software version. It seems so simple yet so complicated. Any easy step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you!

There are no easy steps that will work with all people. Unfortunately e-mail embedding standards are not standard across all clients. Your best bet is to construct the flyer for the web using HTML standards, and put it up on the web with a link from your e-mail. If the link is an especially long one or hard to remember, make a http://www.tinyurl.com/ from it before adding to your e-mail. People send attachments all the time, but many people have webmail that they use, and Mac OS X Mail doesn't always understand HTML mail. Not to mention embedding opens e-mails up to possible trojan horses if the e-mail is able to run an attachment in an executable format.

How can I embed a JPEG so that Windows users will not have to open it as an attachment? I have a flyer I've converted to a JPEG, and I need to send it out to my contacts. Problem is, a lot of people are too lazy to open attachments in outlook.
How can I make it so even (ugh) Window's users will just open the email and see the flyer?
Thanks a lot!

How do I embed bitmaps into a built (.exe) LabVIEW application?

I am trying to embedd bitmap images (icons) into the exe file of a built LabVIEW application. I tried it, and got them in a "data" folder. I want everything in the .exe file, you know, just like C/C++ or just about any other programming language.
If anyone has any tips, I would be grateful.
I know about embedding the images in the controls, but that is not my goal. I need images as files to be embedded, somehow, into the .exe. The reason is I am using the picture control to read the images, but they are static once they are read. If it is possible for the picture controls to somehow retrieve the images from some other source, that would work also.
Otherwise, if someone knows how to dynamicall
y embed bitmap or other images into buttons in an array, that would be useful as well.
Thanks

Actually, many C and C++ programs, like LV itself have folders of data
that aren't linked into their code. But, if that is what you are
looking for, one pretty easy way is to load the images into memory and
place them into a 2D array of data, a string etc. Make an array of
these and make the value default. At runtime, you can now skip the file
I/O, or you can write the data to a temporary on launch and read them
back whenever you like.

How do I embed multiple font outlines in dynamic text field

Can anyone tell me how I can embed multiple font outlines in
Flash MX so I can get smooth text in a dynamic
text frame? I want to use Regular, bold and italic in various
parts of the text.
I was using the Character button in the properties manager
and tried to include all Characters. That does not work.
In the Properties manager I can choose Bold and/or Italic.
But it becomes a universal setting that overrides my HTML tags in
my external txt file that I am importing. I dont want all my text
to be bold.
If I dont select them in the properties, however, Flash will
not embed the font that it needs.
Is there a different way to embed fonts other than under the
Character Tab?
I tried to import fonts to the library, but can not select
them.
Your help would really be appreciated.
Sincerely,
ggaarde

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement:"The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach." How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement: "The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach."
I could not get rid of the Tahoma font in the WORD file.
How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

Thank you very much !
Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
Thanks again !

How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
Thanks

I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

How do I add attachments to a Captivate 7 eLearn?

Articulate has an Attachments button in the player window. In Captivate 7 - I want the user to click a button and the attachments window appears for them to download a document/PDF.
I can not find anything in Captivate to add that into the eLearn. I know that I can create a click box to hyperlink to another site but I actually want the document embedded into the eLearn similar to how Articulate has the ATTACHMENTS button and you can decide which file to download.
Any guidance will help alot! I don't want to switch this eLearn to Articulate.

While it's not a built-in feature, you could probably get the same result with a little bit of creativity.
I haven't tried it, but you could probably make a text caption or smart shape with the text links formatted as you want, putting it on the first slide set to show for all slides, not visible upon viewing the project. Then you could make a smart shape button, also set to show for all slides, that show/hides the text caption/smart shape with an advanced action.
(Obviously you'd still have to do as Rick says, and make sure the linked document(s) are in the right place when you publish your project. )
