How to open a pdf attachment from a pc  email

recieved email from a pc customer with a pdf atatchment  how do i open this ?
( new mac user )

You have lots of options but my typical method is to select the PDF's icon in the email message and then right click (Control Click also works). This brings up a contextual menu that lets you choose whether to open it or save it. You can also drag the PDF's icon from Mail to the desktop or a folder and double click it.

  • How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

    Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

    Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
    Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
    I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
    Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
    I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
    Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
    I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
    My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.

  • How do I open a PDF attachment from an email so I can edit it for reply on an iPad?

    I need to open a PDF attachment on an email, edit it and resend it back to the originator on an iPad. Help?

    A PDF is a graphics document, so you can't edit it without access to an expensive program like Adobe Acrobat.

  • How to open a pdf attachment in imac mail

    I am unable to open a PDF attachment in Mac Mail. There is not a PDF Icon in the email message. Is there a setting that should be checked?
    I have a new iMac (less than a month old) with Mountain Lion.
    Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    It is an actual PDF that is an attachment to an email. There is not a link to click on to open the attachment.
    The attachment is a statement that I normally open, then print..
    What I am seeing on the monitor is the heading portion of the email with the statement image, all on one page..It prints exactly as seen on the screen.
    I have checked my Mail>Preferences>Viewing Tab."Display remote images in HTML" messages is checked..
    Thanks for the help.

  • How to open the pdf document from KM  through Link to URL UI element

    Hi All,
    I have Link to URL UI element  in webdynpro java layout - on click of the link we need to open the pdf document from KM respository.
    KM Document location : irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf.
    Once this is transported to Test and Production portals , we need to retrieve the KM document from the respective portal location through the Link to URL UI element .
    Thanks,
    Portaluser100

    Hi,
    If you set the link to your document in a Context attribute by using a relative path this should work just fine.
    Example:
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl("/irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf");
    Bind that attribute to the reference property of the LinkToURL element.
    Cheers,
    Leo

  • How to open an PDF file from Java Application

    Hi
    I am developing a GUI application in java swing.
    on clicking one button, I want to open PDF file from my swing application.
    Is there any API through which I can achieve this?

    Here's a way to do it (if I understand you
    correctly). Just let explorer.exe do it for you.
    import java.awt.*;
    public class openPDF
         Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
         public openPDF()
              open("test.pdf");
         public void open(String path)
              try
                   Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer.exe "+path);
    } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("NAI!
    I! ERROR!\n"+e); }
         public static void main(String[] args)
              openPDF myApplication = new openPDF();
    Why do you have a Desktop object as a member but instead of using it, you execute a command with Runtime (which is not platform independent!)???

  • Can't open big PDF attachment from Mail

    hi, guys:
    We have this issue with both iPad and iPad2.
    I have setup EXchange account and be able to download and read Emails.
    However, we found when we try to open big size (more than 1MB ) PDF.
    As matter of fact, we can't even download the size of file.
    We click the attachment, then, arrow starts to spin and spin and none stop.
    Any ideas why? and how do we resolve this issue?
    Thank you very much.

    This looks like a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services. The notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved.
    Resetting Launch Services
    The following article also describes the side effects of cache cleaning:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    The following article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner.
    In addition to the utilities mentioned above, you may also consider OnyX, which is free. If you want to try OnyX, after installing it, do this (be sure to read the articles about the side effects of cache cleaning first):
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
    4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you've already done them using other utilities.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, you may try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.
    And yet another free cache cleaning utility is Cache Out X.
    Please, let me know whether you were able to solve the problem, what worked for you and what didn't.

  • How to open a PDF File from a ByteArray

    Hi, Fellows,
    I'm having the following problem:
    I have put a PDF file inside a BLOB field in a table in my SQLite database.
    And I can retrieve it from this database without any problem, receiving a ByteArray data type as result.
    What I want to know is what I should do to render this file in my HTML flex object without saving it to a file…
    I used the mx.controls.HTML.data property, but what I see is the TEXT of my PDF file. The mx.controls.HTML.location needs a STRING with the link to a URL site or file.

    Bob, Here's some ActionScript code for saving the byte array data to temporary file. (In this code, pdfData is a ByteArray object containing the PDF data.)
    var tempFile:File = File.createTempFile();
    var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
    stream.open(tempFile, FileMode.WRITE);
    stream.writeBytes(pdfData);
    stream.close();
    Next you can load the file into your Flex HTML control (represented as html in the following code):
    html.location = tempFile.url;
    Here's more information on reading and writing files:

  • Rundll32 error when opening a PDF attachment from Outlook 2010

    The computer is a 32 bit Win7.  Outlook is 2010 for business.  Everything was working fine until 4 days ago.  Now have to save the pdf to the desktop and open it from there. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared.  Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32.  All other types of docs open fine.  This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

  • Opening a pdf file from an old email attachment

    Hi.
    I am hoping someone can help with this odd issue.  I received some pdf attachments in an email and after 6 months, the emails at work will be archived.  This gives the pdf files names like:
    accountsheet.pdf.pdf or accountsheet.pdf.efa.
    The person sending me the email with these files does not have a problem opening them but I can't open them.  I get the error message below and wonder if there is a way I can fix the decoding problem if that is the issue.  Any help would be extremely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    J

    Hi Jeff,
    I'd like to help!
    First step you should save it out of the email to your desktop. Do not try to open it directly.
    Make sure you don't have two (periods > accountsheet.pdf.pdf)...
    Then try opening it with the new file name (accountsheet.pdf).
    Let me know if this helps!
    Regards, Stacy

  • Pdf attachment from mail to ibooks?

    thanks guys
    Message was edited by: Tran Hoang Long

    I have the latest version of iTunes with iBooks, and it doesn't have anywhere to drag PDF files into iTunes. Where are you seeing this? I tried every imaginable PDF, include a text document, I printed to PDF from textedit, then dragging it into the pane of grayed out books in iTunes.
    What gives?
    Here's a screenshot:

  • Open the pdf file from forms6i

    Hi,
    how to open the pdf file from forms6i.
    can anyone help me regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Ansaf.

    Hi,
    The HOST built-in does not return any error or message back to the Form.
    You will have to use some other means to first find out whether the file exists or not. E.g. you could use TEXT_IO.FOPEN to open the file in Read mode. If the files is not found the handle returned will be null, and that will be condition you have to process to show a message or pop an alert.
    Make sure you close the file with FCLOSE, irrespective of whether the file is found or not, before you open the File for viewing.
    Regards,

  • How do I open a PDF attachment using the Open In function from iPad mail

    I Am trying to open a PDF document from my mail. In previous versions of the iOS (presently I am on 7.1.1) the open in feature of the email  re organised that you had an rhe adobe reader installed and allowed you to select this to open the document. Thiis no longer working for me.

    The functionality certainly has not gone away with iOS 7. What do you see when you attempt this (and how do you go about it)?
    Only thing I can recommend off hand is to try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

    Looks like this particular file is not transferring to the SAP work directory.
    Could you please check and suggest us as to how to fix it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srivas

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    We verified  your OSS notes it's not relevant to us Because our issue is while opening the PDF aatchement it is not transferring to my SAP Work Directory because of that reason we are getting the KPRO error. When I'm opening the other PDF files it's transferring to my SAP Work Directory and it's automatically open without any issue.
    Please check and suggest.
    Thanks,
