  • HT1146 How do I print an email in Apple Mail without PDF attachments?

    I received an email with PDF attachments. I want to print just the email without the attachments but they automatically load in the print file EVER AFTER I've converted them to be viewed as icons in the message window.
    I searched online, call an Apple store and spoke to customer support who wanted to charge me a $19 fee for something possibly not even possible. In short, I haven't received a solution.
    Can anybody help me? Ready to download an alternate mail app.
    Thank you.

    Opening it won't do you any harm. Just don't click any of the links.

  • Mail with PDF attachments sent, not stored in Sent

    IMAP account, Sent folder configured to point to server's sent mail folder. "Windows friendly attachments" selected.
    If I send a message with multiple PDF attachments, the message will be received, but it won't be written to the Sent folder.
    I can't afford to lose the archive copy of these messages, so I have adopted the habit of bcc'ing myself, but it's a drag.
    Any thoughts?

    I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce. Hence the delay.

  • I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail.  PDF attachments are included in the e-mail  as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon.  How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

    In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon.  How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

    For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
    For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader.  To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

  • Mail/Gmail/PDF attachments not shown in mail.

    I currently use apple mail to access my gmail emails however every so often I notice that some of the emails that mail picks up from gmail do not contain attachments (.pdf) that are visible when I log into gmail. Any suggestions as to how I can make them appear in mail? It is often very irritating.
    Mail version 3.5.

    Hi,
    Similar problem here with me.
    Also this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1997630
    Hopefully we can find a solution.
    I've rebuilt mailboxes and re-added accounts to no avail.
    Attachments are working fine in the web interface but when syched with IMAP to Mail - no worky.
    I get a winmail.dat file instead.
    Cheers

  • Why does Mail convert PDF attachments to JPEGs?

    When I attach a PDF to a message in Mac Mail it automatically converts to a JPEG. I can't find any reason for this in preferences and the Help Menu is no help. This didn't happen previously. I'm not doing anything different when I create PDFs (usually through Quark Xpress or InDesign). Is anyone else having this problem?
    Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Are you using the Image Size adjustment available at the bottom right of the message window with attaching a single page PDF file which displays inline or viewed in place?
    If so, this will convert a PDF file to a JPEG since the Image Size adjustment was designed for image/photo type attachments only.

  • Mail with PDF attachments bounce back??

    I often send time-sensitive PDFs that need to be reviewed quickly so it ***** to learn a couple of days later that the delivery failed! Is there a way that mail can inform that the email DID arrive successfully? Or is there a way to reduce the amount of times mail tries to send it before it notifies me it failed? Also, any ideas why these emails fail in the first place? They are not huge files!

  • "empty file" error in Mail from PDF attachments created on a PC

    Hi all,
    We have an odd situation where a particular PC user seems to be unable to send MacMail-compatible .pdf files.
    When she sends the files, Mail gives the following error upon trying to open them:
    "The file xxxxx could not be opened because it is empty."
    This only happens in Mac Mail.
    The files open fine in both our Zimbra webmail system, and Thunderbird.
    Additionally, when I hover my cursor over the attachment icon in Mac Mail, I get the following popup:
    "status: not yet downloaded"
    I've searched in vain for info on both of these messages.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Paul,
    Does this Mac have Sophos installed? If so, see the topic at the link below:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13387558#13387558
    Note the need to also remove the com.apple.mail.plist, and instructions for doing that.

  • Mail corrupts PDF attachments

    I've had this problem for a while now, usually on older emails i've kept in my inbox, but it's started happening on more recent emails now and is becoming a real nuisance. Basically, sometimes, when i go to view or download a PDF attachment, preview tells me "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I'm using gmail through imap on Mail. The attachement itself is fine though. I can download the attachment through gmail itself and preview displays it fine. Also, mail displays the inline preview as a small black box.
    Any ideas why mail is corrupting my attachements? i've already tried rebuilding all my mailboxes multiple times, and deleting and redownloading all my messages, but the problem hasn't gone away.
    Thanks for any help.

    zig_k,
    How did you re-download the messages? Did you remove the account then re-add it? What I would do is Move the files and folders I list below to the desktop. Then re-setup mail.
    com.apple.mail.plist from the Macintosh HD -> User -> YOUR USER -> Library -> Preferences
    com.apple.mail.downloads.plist from the same folder as above
    & the Mail folder in Macintosh HD -> User -> YOUR USER -> Library
    If all works you may delete the files. The plist files hold settings like were you store your notes and todos. And the mail folder is a copy of all you mail. You can go through it if you like.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Mail - Empty PDF Attachments when moved from 'Junk' (Hotmail)

    Hi
    I've been using Mail with Hotmail (IMAP) for some time; a recent update resolved the constant errors you'd get when deleting or moving emails between folders.
    However, if I receive a PDF attachement from an unknown sender, this goes into Junk.. I then drag it to my Inbox. Occasionally (not consistently) this results in the PDF (when it finally gets round to resyncing the inbox) refusing to open with the message 'The file <name> could not be opened because it is empty'.
    This is really inconvenient when you get tickets, policy docs etc from a new sender address and then you have to try and get whoever sent it to you to resend.
    Once it has been moved it also appears empty on outlook.com and if you download it you get a zero-byte file.
    This has only happened since the last update to mail - I'm now on Version 7.2 (1874).
    Anyone else seeing this?
    Thanks
    Aaron

    You're welcome.
    It looks like you moved the missing messages into mailboxes stored on the server. Is that correct? Have you checked your .Mac account on the web to see whether they appear there? If they don't, I'm not positive that we'll be able to recover them.
    It also looks like the junk filter isn't working very well in your case (too many false positives). Do the messages that Mail incorrectly treats as junk come from people in your Address Book or in your Previous Recipients list?
    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there's enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move the entire "Mac-" account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. Do not trash any "POP-" account folders (if there were any), as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Post back with your observations.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

  • Problem with PDF attachments on Leopard's mail.

    I just found a bug or something in Leoprd's mail . When I try to send a mail with PDF attachments, mail just stuck, nothing happen. The fan start to spin and mail grab all of the processors power nearly 100 %. What's weird, there aren't problem with sending other attachment like JPG for example. I tested it on all of my accounts and on all of them, situation is exactly the same.

    The same problem here! Mail.app is behaving weirdly, but eventually it stopped sending e-mail with some filetypes attachments (.doc, .xls, .pdf not working, .jpg working), app just freezes - impossible to quit! HEEEELP!!!

  • Mail pdf attachments gibberish

    Suddenly Mail downloads pdf attachments as a mile of gibberish and not a separate file as it used to. Why? What can I do? Can anybody help?
    In webmail the are ok so the problem must by with Mail.

    I have the same problems ever since I started Mac'ing 2 years ago. My guess is that Mac Mail is not able to interpret old versions of pdf even though Preview is. Simple solution is to install:
    http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer
    I don't understand, why Apple isn't including this as a standard preference option.

  • Mail PDF attachments not clear

    When I look through my Sent box the emails that have one page pdf attachments are so badly blurred (or not clear) that it is really difficult to read them.
    When I then open the attachment with Preview it's nice and sharp.
    This was not a problem before upgrading to SL.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I, too, have exactly the same issue.The pdfs were placed in the body of the e-mail and the recipient got blurred images. I switch to AOL, and both attachments opened up in excellent condition on the other end.
    I plan to send quite a few more in the future, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks.

  • Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

    Good day,
    I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
    When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

    Good day abrieb93050306,
    I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
    As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
    Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
    This will probably resolve your issue.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Pdf attachments do not come through on iCloud mail but they do on other email accounts on same device

    I have several email accounts set up that appear on all my devices: iMac, iPhone and iPad.  I use 2 email accounts for work purposes, and good thing I use two. I receive pdf attachments in non-apple email accounts, but the same email sent to my iCloud address comes through minus the attachment and shows only "winmail.dat".  I am using the same device to read the email from the different accounts, but the problem is consistent with all my apple devices. This has to be a setting in iCloud mail but I can not figure it out. Please help.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.
