Mail app PDF attachment is not visible

I found several reports (and workarounds) of PDF attachment hiding in Mail application. It seems to be still not fixed, as I got the issue with current up-to-date software configuration: OS X 10.6.7, Mail 4.5 (1084).
My details:
- email is generated by some automatic system, it has HTML body and one PNG image (referred from the HTML). I know there is also PDF attachment (2 pages).
- In mail view I see HTML rendering and PNG image as the only attachment; attachment count is 1. Nothing about PDF, also PDF contents is definetly not visible "inline".
- in mail source I can see that the HTML, PNG and PDF are there (as MIME attachments). Quick look to the source does not show anything obviously broken there; I've programmed MIME email sending in low level and have some idea about it.
- in File-Quick view attachments I can see PDF contents
- in File-Save attachments also PDF attachment is saved fine
- in most other emails I can see PDF files, inline or as attachments. So it has something to do with specific mail format, or MIME configuration.
So the issue is that by normal view I just would have no idea that there is this hidden attachment.
I happened to know from another mail reader (gmail) that the attachment is there, otherwise I could never notice it. Therefore it is major annoyance, especially that Apple has not succeeded to fix it fully for 5 years or so.

I'm having the exact same problem here. I'm in Lion 10.73 running Mail 5.2.
This is very frustrating because the "list view" window, there's an attachement column that show's there's 2 attachments (presumably one image attachment for a signature and one for a pdf)... but in the message window there's no pdf attachment.
Surprisingly I have an iPad3 and the same message is missing the attachment as well.
But then I go online to my webhost's webmail access and the attachment is there.

Mail PDF attachment is not visible

I have just owned a new iPad 4th generation and using it with full energy.
I have a query and if anyone can guide me.
I have configured Gmail in the Mail of my iPad. Now when I am getting an e-bill from Airtel India for payment, the attached PDF bill copy is not there in the mail.
Is it that I have to change any settings, please advice.
Thanks and Regards.

You should see a paper clip icon next to the senders name in the preview window if there is an attachment in the email. If you do see the icon but can't see the PDF, quit mail, reboot and look again.
From your home screen. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
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.

PDF attachment does not show in Mail

When I receive a mail with PDF attachment, I can't see any icon or inline text. Can anyone advice?

All of my mail accounts either show the icon or the file itself in the Mail App. Try these simple things first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, open Mail to relaunch.
Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch Mail again and see what happens.

Attachment MIR4 not visible on FI document.

Dear forum readers,
When we attach a PDF file with the MIR4 transaction (business object BUS2081), this attachment is not visible from the attachment list on the follow-on document (FI document, business object BKPF). The attachment is only visible in the material document. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
Many thanks,
John.

Workflow Step 'In Process'- Send mail with PDF attachment

Hi,
have to send mail with PDF attachment.
I have written a function module with following steps,
1. Convert SPOOL number to PDF using Function Module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
2. Send mail with PDF attachment using Function Module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.
The Function Module is giving required output when tested and called in the report(Background Job).
When I call this Function Module from Method-> Workflow Task the Workflow steps status is 'In Process' and not ending.
Could you please help me on this??

Hi shafath,
When you try to send mail, You need to call the function FP_JOB_OPEN before calling the function module to generate the pdf. ( /1B****) . Is it missing in your code?

Error while sending mail with pdf attachment

Dear All,
I am sending mail to outlook Internet address, with PDF attachment, if i have the some text in the mail along with the attachment,
then the PDF attachment file is not opeining, throws file corrupted error.
If i don't have the text for mail body, and send only attachment then the PDF attachments working fine.
Please help.
regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
If you are using the th FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" to send the PDF data(As an attachment) to an internet address, try prepare an internal table with the text you want to mention in your mail. This table needs to be passed to the
'contents_txt' of this function module. You can check your mail in SOST transaction and in DOC Content section.
Ex: wa_objtxt = 'Regards'.
APPEND wa_objtxt TO t_objtxt.
I am sure that you won't get any problem if you follow the procedure mentioned above.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Mail Display PDF Attachment as icon?

How can you display a PDF attachment in Mac Mail (6.0) running Mountain Lion as an icon. Right clicking used to offer that option, but not since upgrading to OS 10.8

hello,
I want to know if I can send a pdf attachment via mail. My PDF file is somewhere in the server and its content doesn't need to be changed by the program. the program just needs to find the pdf in server, then it will just send pdf file as attachment to the mail. is it possible ? thanks in advance.

Hi Friend,
You can easily send the document by email as follows :
REPORT ZSENDEXTERNAL.
DATA: OBJPACK   LIKE SOPCKLSTI1 OCCURS 2 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: OBJHEAD   LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: OBJBIN    LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: OBJTXT    LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: RECLIST   LIKE SOMLRECI1 OCCURS 5 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: DOC_CHNG LIKE SODOCCHGI1.
DATA: TAB_LINES LIKE SY-TABIX.

APPEND OBJTXT.
OBJTXT = 'was included as attachment.'.
APPEND OBJTXT.
DESCRIBE TABLE OBJTXT LINES TAB_LINES.
READ TABLE OBJTXT INDEX TAB_LINES.
DOC_CHNG-DOC_SIZE = ( TAB_LINES - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( OBJTXT ).

Problem for Mail with PDF attachment

Hello all,
I have a problem regarding sending mail with a PDF attachment from SAP. The attachment contains Payslip of employee that is being generated from a Submit program of the respective HRFORM. I have used the Submit program within a JOB and the spool request generated. From the spool request i am extracting the pages using FM RSPO_GET_PAGES_SPOOLJOB.
Now to convert the spool job to PDF am using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. And after the job is being finished, am deleting both the JOB and SPOOL.
To change the output of the FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, into attachment with line width of 255 am using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE. Then after filling all the required parameters for FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1, am sending the mail with the attachment. I have kept the format as PDF.
But the problem here is, the attachment is going as .DAT file and not as .PDF file!!!
Please help to resolve this issue.
with regards,
Koushik.

Hello,
Instead of using SO* APIs to send mail you should use the BCS classes. Anyway there is a sample program BCS_EXAMPLE_8 which is very similar to your requirement
Cheers,
Suhas
PS: The sample program BCS_EXAMPLE_6 has got more to do with PDF forms as is your case

Receive mail with PDF attachment into XI and send to ABAP proxy

Hi,
I have a scenario where I need to receive a mail into XI that has a PDF attachment. This attachment needs to be retained as ultimately I need to send the message into CRM via an ABAP proxy and read the attachment and load against a business partner.
However, as I am only on SP13 I do not have the parameters such "Keep Attachments" available to use.
So I have two questions:
1. How do I receive the mail into XI with the PDF attachment ?
2. How do I read the attachment in an ABAP proxy ?
Any guidance in either question would be appreciated.
Cheers
Colin.

hi,
you say that there's no keep attachment
indicator but does the XI store the attachment or not?
maybe it stores all attachmens
(I work with sp16 and I don't remember how it worked with sp13)
but try maybe it accepts attachments by default
then it would be quite easy
if you use then use the attachement in abap proxy
(like I said you won't have to use any java)

michal

Sapscript/Smartform via mail with PDF attachment: logo is missing

Hi all
I'm implementing my function to send Sapscript/smartform via mail.
I need to do it because when a message needs to be sent, I have to insert the message as attachment but also to add a text in the body mail.
So I've just created a simple sapscript having a logo (as graphic) and a little text.
I use the fm CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF to PDF format and the following code to increase the pdf string from 132 to 255 char:
LOOP AT t_pdf.
      TRANSLATE t_pdf USING ' ~'.
      CONCATENATE l_buffer t_pdf INTO l_buffer.
    ENDLOOP.
    TRANSLATE l_buffer USING '~ '.
    DO.
      MOVE l_buffer TO l_attachment.
      APPEND l_attachment TO x_attachment.
      SHIFT l_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
      IF l_buffer IS INITIAL.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
All seem to work fine, but as soon as I open the pdf file attached to the mail I can't see the logo
So after calling fm CONVERT_OTF, I've created a pdf file by method GUI_DOWNLOAD, and then upload this file (by GUI_UPLOAD) into internal table for attachment and send the mail.
Now really all work very fine, becaus I can see the logo
Of course I don't want to dowload the file before sending a mail, but I need to send my print directly as pdf attachment
The two ways seem to be equal, they use the same print and the same functions, only the way to upload the internal table for attachment is different:
1) tha abap code above to expand the line from 132 to 255
2) the method GUI_UPLOAD
So something seems to be wrong in the first way because ithe logo is missing in the pdf attachment generated for the mail

Hi
I'm not working on unicode system, anyway I didn't see that parameter BIN_FILE, so I didn't use it
I've read the note 1324547 and I've done just as it explaines: now works fine
I don't know why it doesn't work with old manner (i.e data is treated as character-type), but it worls with the new one (If the data is treated as xstring-type)
I can only suppose the data are corrupted while being elaborated for expand to 255 char....but I don't why
Anyway your suggestion works for me
Thank
Max

PDF attachment does not open

I have a Samsung i760 with Verizon Wireless. I am running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I have installed Adobe Reader PPC 2.0, and the Reader application itself appears to work fine (appears in my Program list, I can open the program, etc.). I have my work e-mail (from an Exchange server)pushing to my phone, and my e-mail has been working fine. Every day, I receive a report via e-mail with a .pdf document attached. When I open this e-mail, and click on the .pdf attachment, it says "Downloading..." on the bottom of my screen, but the file never finishes downloading or opens up. The file is only "(12K)" according to the e-mail, so it should download fairly quickly, and then Adobe Reader should open up and display the file. Any ideas why this does not happen? It just says "Downloading" forever until I manually stop the download. Thanks.

Hey there,
Same I experienced the same problem, hopefully someone can help up...
