I am unable to attach PDFs to Hotmail/Outlook email using my FF browser today. Never had issue before today.
1. I am unable to attach pdfs today in Outlook/Hotmail email using my Firefox browser (27.0.1). I keep getting an error message that says, "The file is not a picture and can't be inserted inline." I do not understand why I keep getting this error message. I am not attempting to insert an image. I am selecting to Insert Files as Attachments from the drop down menu.
No matter how many times I attempt to attach various pdfs to my emails today using Firefox as my browser, I keep getting this same error message. I have cleared the cache, cleared all cookies, cleared all history, signed out of my Hotmail/Outlook account, signed back in, restarted computer, etc., to no avail. Same problem.
2. I switched to my Safari browser, and have no problem attaching pdfs in my Hotmail/Outlook email account. The pdfs are attaching perfectly as usual. My emails are being sent normally with the attachments. The attached pdfs are being received and are opening perfectly as intended.
3. Why am I unable to attach files with Firefox today? Firefox is my browser of choice and I have used it with my Hotmail/Outlook email account without any problems, till today. Please help me! Thank you!
Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
if(body != null)
messageBodyPart.setText(body);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
/*if(attachments != null)

System.out.print(allRecips + ";");
System.out.println("...");
Transport.send(mess);
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
return 0;
What's wrng with that code snipnet?
Nagaraju G.This works fine with me, try it or compare it if you want.
public void sendEmail( String from, String to,
String subject, String body) {
fMailServerConfig.put("mail.smtp.host", " <<mail server>>");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject( subject);
message.setText( body);
//Adds Attechment:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText("Here are my attachments");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//first attachment
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:\\img1.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor1.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//Second attachment
DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("C:\\img2.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor2.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//etc...
message.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( message );
}catch (MessagingException e){
System.err.println("Cant send mail. " + e);
The error on your code might be:
BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
You don't need to create a new BodyPart, and apart from that you'r seting values on "messageBodyPart" but adding "messageBodyPart1" to your multipart :P
Well see u and have a good one!
p.s. i know it's a little late from the day you posted, but at least it might help somebody else :D . -
Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)
We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

I can no longer attach pdf scans to my emails. It has all changed. How do I do it now please.
I have always attached pdf scans to my emails veyr easily. Now having been away for five weeks things have changed and I can no longer do it. Please help me to find a new way to do this. I have scanned a document and can open it but cannot attach it what is wrong?.
You really need to provide some details...
what is your operating system?
what is your email client?
what is your Adobe Reader version?
what means "can not" (or "no longer");
how do you try attaching the file?
what happens when you try?
also, how large is your scanned document? -
Hi there;
For some reason I am unable to attach documents to a yahoo email from my macbook pro. I do not experience this problem on a nomal PC and i can even open attachments on the mac. However on trying to attach a document to an email it keeps coming up wth an error stating ''invalid file selected'' each time i tr. Can anyone advice me what i need to do to address this please?
many thanksSince your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

I cannot attach pdf files in Outlook. Just started yesterday. I need a fix as I use this alot.
You can experiment with how Firefox would run after a reset or reinstall by creating a new profile.
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
You'll click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (in other words, don't click the button to choose a different folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
After Firefox settles down, try Outlook. Any luck?
If it works, log out of Outlook, exit Firefox, restart it and check again. If it doesn't work the second time, one possible explanation is a a system-installed add-on getting picked up or activated.
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong. -
All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing
All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing. The email will show no attached file and then freezes and I am unable to add any content to body of email or change any of the content. I have to just delete the email and start over. If I zip the file it will show up in the body of the email and I am able to add content and send the email. This just stared happening, I had not changed any preferences or anything so I have no idea what happened.
Want to explain - makes no sense since they share the exact same library

How can I attach a photo to an email,using Photoshop Elements9,without going through the Revel cloud
How can I attach a photo to an email using Photoshop Elements 9, without going through the Adobe Revel cloud?
Adobe user wrote:
I'm using Windows 7. I have no email clients.
You don't need an Email client nor Adobe Revel account to send email and photos as attachment. All you need is an email account (could be free web-based account such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or whatever including from your own ISP. And of course an Internet Connection.
Now the most obvious requirement is out of the way so you need to go in to your Organizer and click on Share button and choose Photomail. Select the photo you want to send and follow the instructions that are on your screen.
You also need to request an Adobe Verification Code to enable you to use Adobe's Mail Servers to send the photos for you. To do this go to:
Edit >> Preferences>> Sharing
Look for something like this and fill out the red boxes where indicated (click on this image to see it clearly).
Hope this gets you started. -
Never had issues with itunes. However, currently unable to up-date to 10.4 version. It tells me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'tunes.msi' in the box below. Can't find this. Should I remove itunes and re-install all together? thanks
I have already had to remove Bonjour with the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility due to another common error when running the install
You're already well on track, then. Launch CleanUp again and remove any iTunes entries this time. Quit CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. -

Attaching pdf files to yahoo emails
After scanning a doc into pdf format-- free adobe reader 9.0, I am unable to attach the doc to a yahoo OR gmail email. I thought Yahoo was the problem as when attempt to attach, screen just keeps telling me to "wait, attaching," but never does. I then attempted to attach same doc to gmail and I get the same results-- never attaches. I never used to have this problem but not sure if it has been since upgraded to 9.0 as don't remember when I DID upgrade!! Thanks.
Reader has nothing to do with this, since Reader does not create any
files. You have some software that scans your pages to pdf. Before you
try to upload the file as an email attachment you should make sure your
scanning software closed the file. Then you should be able to attach it
to an email. If you cannot then the problem lies with your system, not
Reader, not gmail, nor yahoo.

Unable to open pdf created with Acrobat Pro using Adobe Reader X
Files created with some Adobe Professional applications such as Acrobat Pro ensure the file is small by excluding font information from the file. Simple pdf creation applications embed the font in the file, which makes for transportability between apps but does make the files big.
The problem i have experienced is that Adobe Reader X is one of the simple app varieties, so is unable to open, print, or read files created using Adobe Acrobat Pro..
i'd welcome any help in (a) finding a free app that opens these 'pro pdf' files, OR (b) an option setting in Acrobat Pro which includes the font information in the file - or both!There are so many things wrong, around a tiny grain of truth, it really isn't worth examining. Not at this stage if you are more interested in getting things working. It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.
Ok, Reader doesn't launch. Suppose you start Reader FIRST. Then use File > Open on your PDF. -
Can't Attach PDF Document to Outlook 2010 X64
I am using Adobe Reader 9.4.1 on a Windows 7 Ultimate X64 with Office 2010 Pro X64.
My Outlook 2010 is already set as the default email client (and works perfectly when attaching files to email using the "sent to email recipient" with all other software installed on my machine).
When I try to attach a PDF document to an email, within the Adobe Reader, I first get a Windows 7 generated message saying I need to set default email client (although I already did it) and after I press ok, I get an Adobe Reader error message simply saying the there was an error with attaching the document.
I read in this forum that as of August 2010 the Adobe Reader doesn't support 64 bit (Windows 7 & Office 2010) which sounds as false. I think that it can't be so...
I have to mention that I had the exact same problem with a different software (Nuance OmniPage Professional 17) and after searching Google for it I found a solution in editing the software's ini files and it solved the issue. Obviously I don't know how to find this solution by myself (I am not a PC programmer or something like that) but I have a good feeling that there should be some sort of a solution like that to the problem on hand.
Please help....
