Mail/PDF

Hi everyone,
In mail, when I attach a PDF of my resume it shows up in the body of the email, rather than as an icon. I've already done some research: read that I can control-click, then choose "view as icon," but when I do that, then send the email to myself to test, the resume content still shows up in the body (in the "received" mail), so I'm not sure that's a solution. It doesn't seem to actually change anything. (But then, I can't be sure because I'm sending and receiving/viewing in Apple Mail and I have no idea what the recipient will be using.) I've also read that Apple Mail automatically shows the content of PDFs that are 1 page or less in the body, 2 or more pages as an icon. I also need to be certain it is PC friendly.
Anyone know? It's an important job application and I don't want to screw it up over something silly like email trouble. Thanks!

Print the calendar, but choose the PDF option in the print dialogue. Save the PDF, then email it as an attachment.

Mail PDF from Pages...doesn't use default app

Have set Mail to indicate Thunderbird as default mail client. Clicking on a mailto link in Safari opens Thunderbird, as expected.
But...
In Pages, doing Share/Mail PDF, Mail opens, not Thunderbird. Have examined the Preferences .plist where such instructions are stored, and it correctly shows Thunderbird, as was set in Mail.
Is there an editable .plist or something somewhere that I can edit to get Pages to behave?
Thx.

How do I set the quality of a "save to pdf" or "mail pdf" ?

I have created a document (say, in Pages, MS Word, or Apple Works/Claris Works [yes, that is still an excellent programme..., even on an intel Mac] and then want to save it as pdf or " mail pdf".
If the document page has many pictures, the pdf created via the "Print" function in OS X has quite some pixelation and the print-out is sub-optimal (eg for a Christmas/New Year card).
Is there a way that the quality of the created pdf file can be altered?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Audition's native recording and processing format is 32 bit floating. This allows for the most accurate processing of your audio. You cannot set it to record at 24 bit depth. However a 24 bit source is happily stored in the 32 bit format when you record from an external 24 bit audio interface.
If you need to save 24 bit files for use after you have finished editing them then you choose 24 bit from the Options drop down in the Save As panel when you save the file.
See further explanation 24-bit hardware with "32-bit float" recording in 3.0

Mail PDF doesn't work

Hi,
To convert a file to PDF and send it by email, I use to simply use the Mail PDF option in the print menu.
Since I upgraded to Mac Os X Lion, the option works for a while and then stops working. Then, once I click on "Mail PDF", it doesn't even switch to Apple Mail.
Restarted mail, restarted the application... No good.
Restarted the computer, worked for a while and then stopped again. I did this a lot of times and it always ends up not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can work around this, but it is frustrating on the long term.
Thank you,
Alex

I am seeing exactly the same problem you describe, but only on my MacBook Pro.
In my case, I am using the Numbers application on Mac OS X 1.7.2 (Lion) on a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. The Mail PDF option works for a while and then stops working. When it stops working in Numbers, it also stops in all other applications. The console log does not shot any hints as to what might be wrong.
Using the Numbers application on a MacBook Air (1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR), with the same Max OS X version (1.7.2 Lion) has no issues at all. Mail PDF works fine on this machine from all applications.
Has anyone heard more about this issue since the last post on Aug 26?
Thanks,

Open single page e-mailed pdf in another app.

I like to e-mail .pdfs to myself for opening in other apps, such as FileApp where I keep relevant documents for reference, or GoodNotes, where I may do a mark up on them. This works fine for multi-page pdfs, but where I e-mail a single page pdf, it just shows up in the e-mail, instead of as an attachment that can be opened in another app. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Same problem here. TAP and HOLD does not show the option to OPen Wth... Another App.
Could you please confirm you don't have this problem?
Just email yourself a one-page PDF file with text in it, and see if you can open it in another app such as iBooks.

Print Mail PDF Email client

I just recently installed the new Office MAC 2008 (my problems seems to happen with any application) and decided to use the new Entourage as my default email client. When I'm in any application and go to Print>mail PDF a file my non-default (originally)email client keeps activating. How do I change my default email client to work when I Print>Mail PDF from within an application. Thanks Chris

The other way to configure this is to select the "Edit Menu..." item in the print dialog's PDF button/menu. A utility window will appear. You can add new items by hitting the plus button in the lower left of that window. His the plus button and then pick Entourage. This will add the alias to the PDF Services folder for you.

When e-mailing pdfs, the text becomes blurry/blocked, but not images

Recently, when e-mailing pdfs to certain individuals, they complain that the pdfs they receive contain blocked/blurry text. ALL of the text is dropped or blurred, but not the images. I originally thought that it was a probelm with only the pdfs created from Publisher, but this week it happened to several pdfs that I did not originally create. One person uses his iPad to view files, and wants all pdfs created as "Print to PDF" options--however, that compromises the resolution of the file. Does anyone else experience this probelm? Is there a solution?

Please let me know which device are they trying to open the PDFs on? Are they trying to open it on their desktops or on a portable device?
Also, what happens if the same PDF is not opened via mail but is open directly on the individuals machine? Is the behavior the same.
Thanks

Why won't the Mail PDF print option work anymore?

I have been trying to mail PDF files, but when I select that option from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialog box, nothing happens. Can anyone help?

No, no Adobe Reader here.
I did find an interesting workaround:
Make an alias to the Mail application
Put the alias in ~/Library/PDF Services
Give it a catchy name
It then shows up in the print dialog's PDF menu (along with the "Mail PDF" workflow) and performs essentially the same function, but without the annoying fail. A side effect (a bonus to me, for arcane reasons) is that the mail message defaults to plain text -- the standard workflow creates a rich text document.

Osx 10.8.2.- no longer enables "mail pdf" from print menu

ever since last software update- last week, the option of MAil PDF directly from print menu in all programs seems to work- but doesnt link to the mail- the only option is to save as pdf to desktop and send a new mail.
Has anyone else encountered this new bug?

Works for me - unfortunately, I don't use Apple's Mail too often and it seems to default to Mail... I just tried it and it worked, though. Running the latest OS release here on a late 2011 MBP.

Print Option Mail PDF

Selecting the Mail PDF option in Print brings up the attachment 'Loading ...... (..kb). If this is sent the recepient can't open the file. Why does Mail read 'Loading the file?' and what can be done to correct.
If the file is saved as a PDF file and then attached to a Mail email there are no problems.

Single keyboard shortcut needed for doing the Mail PDF

I very frequently e-mail Word files (using Apple Mail) as PDFs. However, it takes two long steps (Print Command and pulldown to Mail PDF command). I want to have one single keyboard shortcut for doing the Mail PDF.workflow command from within Word and not have to use the mouse at all. Any ideas?

Maybe you can script it with AppleScript Editor (in Applications)? I'm no AppleScript guru, but since you did not get any other response, I thought I'd mention it.
Get to the point where you want to use your keyboard command. Hit Record in AppleScript editor. If those actions are scriptable (not everything is), they will show up in the window. Hit Stop when you are done. You should be able to save the script as an application.

Pages mail PDF now takes longer to load to send a PDF mail why

HI can some one help me please since I have updated to OS X Yosemite in pages when I do my invoice and click on mail PDF it's takes ages to load when before it was in Instant if you no what I mean can some one help please
Thank you

This isn't likely to be anything to do with the size of the message.
I'm guessing it's related to DNS. The server performs a reverse DNS lookup on your client IP when it connects. Until that lookup completes it won't process the message. If your DNS isn't setup properly then it can take up to 30 seconds for the DNS lookup to timeout before the mail server continues with the connection.
You can get an idea if this is the case by watching the Mail Activity window as you try to send mail. A long 'opening connection' phase indicates that this is likely the problem. You can also check the mail logs or message headers which may indicate the same thing (e.g. the headers won't show the reverse lookup of the client's address).
As for how to fix it - that's up to your DNS server configuration, so check with whoever manages that.

STO mail : pdf attachment has an error 'file damage' when try to open it

Dear expert,
I need to send an e-mail to the vendor with the sto list as attachment at the email.
I managed to send email to external addresee and made the pdf attachment, BUT somehow when I open the attachment it has an error says "Adobe Reader could not open xx.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for axample, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't corectly decoded)."

Mailing .pdf attachments to Presto Printer doesn't work with Firefox but does with IE, how can I fix this?

Since upgrading to 4.0.1 the email address [email protected] indicates that there is something wrong with any attachment in .pdf format. This happens when I send mail from my yahoo or aol mail accounts when using Mozilla. It does not occur if I'm using those mail accounts and Internet Explorer.
[email protected] lets you see what an email will look like when printed on a subscriber's Presto printer, which is a printer that is used without a computer, it periodically calls a toll-free number and looks for mail sent to that address. I believe anyone can send mail to [email protected] and will receive a reply back, so you could test tweeks to Mozilla that would resolve the problem. This issue started in September or October of 2010, was resolved by Presto at that time, but has not been resolved with the 4.0.1 version.

MS offers some advanced features only for its own IE browser and not for other browsers like Firefox.

Why does an e-mail PDF open as black blank page?

I received an e-mail with a PDF attached; when I click on it, it opens briefly to show a legitimate page, then "dissolves" into total black and I can't get pages to show again. I have an i-mac running OSX-5 without intel. It seems this happened after I upgraded; since I could not locate system requirements, I assumed that the automatic notification made the automatic download "safe". Would really like to view the attachment on this computer. Also, the PDF switches to Safari rather than Adobe to open the document. In fact, I notice that as I write, this is in Safari, rather than the Adobe Web site where I started. Perhaps someone can help me clean up my operation. Should I trash the Adobe presently running and go to a lower number? I currently am using Adobe 9. I am also not particularly computer smart, so please be patient with me.

Hi
It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
