Mac Mail 5.3 Won't attach PDFs Launched from Acrobat or MYOB

I thought this was an Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 issue - when I open a PDF in Acrobat and click "Share" > "Attach To Email" - Mac Mail does launch but the new email window is blank and I get an error message in Adobe Acrobat "An error occurred while trying to create a mail document.  Acrobat is unable to complete your request.". So I posted this originally on the Adobe community forum.
However, I just tried to send a pdf straight out of my MYOB accounting software and the same thing happened.
Never had any issues before, and send pdfs all day every day this way.
Have cleared all cache in all applications.
Have cleared font cache.
Have run Disk Doctor and repaired disk permissions.
Trying to avoid reinstalling software.
Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

  • Why can't I email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard?

    Whenever I try to email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard, nothing happens. Outlook 2007 is my default
    email program. I have checked the preferences to be sure that Outlook is checked as default, and it is,
    but when I click on the email icon or select email from the dropdown menu, nothing happens. This is
    so frustrating. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Be sure that MAPI is properly active in your Outlook. I am not an Outlook user, but that is what is needed.

  • Error in Acrobat 6.0 When Opening PDF Sent from Acrobat 9.0

    The following error occurs:
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
    When opening a PDF sent from Acrobat 9.0.  I have Acrobat 6.0.
    The opened PDF displays OK.
    Is there a patch for this?

    There are also a lot of folks who automatically create the newest, best PDF with the latest technology and assume everyone will be able to read it. This will work for a lot of things, but there are typically features in the newer PDF versions that cause errors in older systems, such as you are getting. There are 3 choices: 1. Ask the creator to create a new version that is AA6 compatible (either in the creation process or using Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize); 2. Upgrade your AA6 to a newer version. I am not sure how far back AAX will go for upgrade -- typically 2 or 3 versions; 3. Download the new Reader and deal with compatibility issues between AR and your AA6 (there are bound to be a few -- but are typically workable once you figure out how. This is not an Adobe recommended solution).

  • I have a macbook pro with Lion OS and am using Mac mail.  How do I attach documents as attachments instead of coming up in the body of the email?

    How do I attach a file to mac mail without it going into the body of the email?

    To add to what Kappy said, note that you really can't control how some other mail client might display an attachment.  Some may display them inline, while others may require them to be opened separately.  And different people have different desires in this area...  some want a PDF file, for example, displayed inline, while others prefer for it not to be.  Just attach the file(s) and don't worry about this so much.
    Also, I do have to disagree with Kappy on one point...  I would not say that you "should" compress files and attach the compressed archive file.  That will force all mail clients not to display the attachment inline, but not everyone will want that (you'd be forcing your tastes on all recipients of your e-mail), and some people have difficulty figuring out how to open and view the contents of compressed files.  It's an extra step for you and an extra step for the recipient, and is not needed for most popular file types.  (Of course, we could advise you more specifically if we knew what file types you're dealing with.)

  • How do I send .jpg from Mac Mail (5.2) as an attachment to Outlook?

    I'm trying to send some photos to an Outlook email address.  They're telling me the photos are embedded.  When I send the email with .jpg's "attached" they show on my end as embedded and are received by the Outlook user as such.  How do I go about getting a .jpg to attach like a .pages or .pdf file?  Thank you in advance.

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • Mac Mail & MS Word share as attachment

    Hi,
    Just noticed a bug.  If you use the MS Word File -> Share -> E-Mail (As Attachment) it attaches the document to a new Mac mail message but removes any images from your existing e-mail signature.
    Can anyone reproduce this?  I have it on two iMac's so far and it's rather annoying.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Do you had any feedback on this ?
    I have the same issue, the images in the signature seems to be send as attachment in tiff image file format in the new e-mail.
    Regards.

  • I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

    I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
    How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
    I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
    Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

    You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac.  Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk.  Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud.  Use Dropboc instead.

  • Attach .pdf exported from Pages

    I have a very specific problem. I understand the reason that Pages files cannot be attached in an email, but even the .pdf's or .doc's that I export via Pages cannot be attached to my Hotmail account. They can be attached in my gmail, but I use my Hotmail account for all of my business communication. I also know that you can send them via the Share menu in Pages, but that doesn't create a local file on my HD, but rather opens up the Mail app, which I do not want to use with my Hotmail account.
    Can I create a .pdf file from within Pages that can be attached to a Hotmail email, from the web, not through Mail? Please hel me out on this one....
    Some more details:
    I am running Lion
    I am new to iWork, have recently switched from using Office.
    The Web brower I am using is Google Chrome
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hey, I actually solved the issue.
    Having discovered that the one non-Pages created .pdf file that I had tested to see whether it would attach before my original post was the ONLY .pdf on my computer that would attach, I did some more research. It turns out it has to do with the Microsoft Silverlight plugin. I disabled the plugin, and everything now attaches as it should.
    Now if only I could attach files, AND watch movies on Netflix without having to toggle the **** plugin on and off....

  • Mac Mail IMAP shows read message when already read from other devices

    Mac Mail IMAP is setup on custom domain ([email protected]).  When I open an email message through my iphone it shows it was read.  Then when I go into the mail app on my iMac, it shows the message is unread.  It still shows unread hours later and even when I click the "Get Mail" button
    How do I make it so that Mac mail syncs when I check mail through other devices?
    Thank you

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

  • How to automatically view all attached pdfs in an Acrobat form?

    Hi!
    I use an Adobe form that collates many different PDFs attached to various links within the form. When final review is required, I can (within that single form) click on each individual link, launching the attached PDF in a separate window. However, this is cumbersome and error prone (for example, a user might not see one of the buttons to click). I would like to generate a view where all the attached PDFs are displayed in continuous fashion, preferably right after the page where they were attached.
    When this form is finally submitted, such a view is generated, so I know it is possible. However, it would be ideal to be able to review it in this format before it is submitted at all.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Link to the form is attached.

    I tried another look but couldn't figure it out...but my javascript isn't fantastic. I looked at the example form that I think you got the code from and it works fine when Reader extended.
    Here's a couple of links to tutorials from WindJack Solutions on the Acrobat User Community site - the first one should help alot, it shows how to do what I was mentioning above about putting all your code in one spot and using one table.

  • Why won't the PDF open from Webhelp

    So... I am using RH10 to generate Webhelp. I am on Windows 7.
    That said, I have a very small test project I am building for a presentation today.  I have placed a special icon in my help that has an attached PDF file.  The purpose is to have the user click the icon to display the PDF (also a very small file).  However, I have tried setting it up as a hyperlink and via image map... and set it to open in a "new window".  When I rollover the icon with the mouse, it changes to the hand cursor as if it knows it's hyperlinked.  But, when I click or double click on the icon nothing happens.
    What  have I missed?  HELP!  This is due this afternoon for a meeting!

    Thanks Rick for your response... but boy... are you gonna be sorry! [?]
    Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse... so here's what's
    happening (or rather not happening).. even after making the security
    setting as you state... and it's happening with chrome as well.. and yes..
    I'm running it locally... we have to be able to run it locally for folks
    that will be trying to access it without internet access... so here's the
    full situation as it stands now:
    IN WEBHELP:
    1) PDF still isn't opening (it is set to open in New Window)
    2) the video link i have to a quick vid on youtube IS working
    3) the TOC, Index, and Search options aren't working - the nav pane is
    showing up on the left, but it's empty.. and the search field is there, but
    not working.
    4) Image maps aren't working if set to go to a bookmark on the same page.
    If the map is set to link to a different page it works fine... Just not if
    the flag is on the same page (in dropdown text).
    IN A CHM:
    I tried generating a chm to see if the same issues occurred... here's what
    happens:
    1) PDF still isn't opening (it is set to open in New Window)
    2) the video link i have to a quick vid on youtube IS working
    3) the TOC, and Search options DO work, but Instead of an Index tab,
    there's a Favorites tab and I can't see where I've missed setting the Index
    up.
    4) Image maps work to go to a bookmark on the same page (altho they don't
    work to actually open the dropdown text where the bookmark resides - but
    I'll take what I can get.
    I'm having a hard time breaking habits set from working in Flare for over 5
    years.... but I'm trying to remember and cover all bases, but I am
    obviously missing SOMETHING!
    Am I being too blonde or what?
    THANKS!

  • Converting PDF forms from Acrobat to reader, Images won't upload?

    Hello,
    I've created an editable PDF form in Acrobat and saved it so that the document can be populated in Reader and saved. Only problem is that the functionality to upload an image is not working, you click on it in Reader and nothing happens? I understand that LiveCycle Designer is the one to use, but it only works on Windows, I'm a Mac. Is there a way of saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro so that both the editable text fields and image upload functionality work in Reader?
    Thanks
