How is it possible, that a pdf file turns into a psd file while sending with mail

I have send a pdf file as attachment with mail. the file shows correctly as pdf file. but when the file arrived at the addressed location it turned into a psd file. in addition it seems there is a problem sending png and ai files. once those files have arrived through mail I am getting the feedback, that the files are are not scalable, they are fuzzy or completely messed up.
has anyone an idea, where the problem comes from?
thanks for response

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

Importing WMA files- turn into mpeg 4 files- Help Please!

I've just installed iTunes for the first time, and while converting my WMA files, it has turned them into mpeg4 files. How can i turn them back to mp3 files????

If the "Kind" says "MPEG Audio" then what you have are MP3 files.
The format to which WMAs will be converted is controlled by the setting in Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings > Import Using.

My H.264 MPEG4 files turn into -1.MOV files after saving and viewing file

info the in the Metrics inspector File Info box of the movie page. Some people I send video to get their email at their work and are not always able to view the files even if they are less then 1MB, and so not sure if the -1.mov makes it too big (which I checked and it didn't seem to) or (quicktime is not supported on their machines) but the file type shouldn't change from .mp4 to .mov anyway.
Anybody have heard of this or have an idea of what iWeb is doing and how to best insure I can share my Mac iWeb movies at low tech PC server locations?

Okay so I've been looking into this in depth over the past few days and I haven't come up with a lot. I have noticed that it's not just the render files but also the inspection window where the clip displays in this manner. It looks like the luma range (as seen in YCbCr scope) is being limited between 7.5 and 92 IRE and I think this is maybe a good indicator of the problem. Why this is happening I don't understand. On my clips that were previously rendered in this timeline there is full range from 0 to 100 in the luma from the YCbCr scope. These files were rendered to an external drive from before I reinstalled Premiere, so it's any h.264 files that I am using after reinstall that are having this issue. I have attached another screen capture illustrating this (look at line to right of scope showing full luma range). Also I have some .mts files from another camera and they import with full luma range as well.

When playing my h.264 files in Quicktime or VLC they look about the same in terms of blown out whites and crushed blacks. Does Premiere rely on Quicktime for its h.264 codec or does it have it's own? Is there a way to force premiere to update its codecs/manually download and replace the h.264 codec?
I really can't understand what's happening here and I can't do any work when imported clips are this messed up. Can someone please help out on this!!! Super frustrating and seems to constantly happen with Premiere...

My psd file turned into an unknown file

I created a couple of psd files last night. A simple pricelist in photoshop and I developed a habit of saving every few minutes. I can't remember if I closed photoshop last night or not but when I woke up this morning, my pc had rebooted itself (re-started).
I open photoshop to start working on the files again and this icon appears but with the name that I saved my files as (8.5x11_pricelist) . I tried to open it in photoshop and I get the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I clicked on properties to see what is going on and it simply states 8.5x11_pricelist file and in the "open with" section it states: unknown.
I don't know what could've happened but I'm devistated. I've been working on this file for sometime now. Anyone have any ideas to get my file back?
Thanks in advanced!

I'm having this exact same problem.
This has happened more than once to me, and I think the issue is in the title you gave your file. All files that I saved that had decimal points in their title converted format the same way yours did.
It had originally been titled Sadistic.Music∞Factory.psd, and was a Photoshop document.
For whatever reason, the file type changed to everything beyond the decimal point in the title (I tried to change the file type manually by renaming it to .psd, but my computer considers the full file name to be 'Sadistic.psd.Music∞Factory').
I can at least prevent any of your future files from doing this to you by saying DON'T USE DECIMAL POINTS. That's as much as I know about the issue. I'm having a bit of a fit over it, myself.
I seriously hope someone can figure this out.

Just updated my OS to os5...why did all of my music and video file turn into an "other" file and how do I fix it?

I just updated to OS5 and all of my video and music files are gone and now I have an inaccessible "other" file about the size of the of the old music and video files. When I go to sync music files in itunes they never show up on the phone. Help!

Never mind. Just read some similar questions and tried restoring it to backed up version and now everything seems to be working. What a relief!

Error in downloading itunes, all the .exe files turn into the itunes icon. I had to removed itunes.

Error in downloading itunes in windows, all the .exe files turn into the itunes icon

Download the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. Reinstall iTunes. Should you find that all of your desktop shortcuts have again turned into links to the iTunes application apply the patch.

When smb sharing, files turn into folders

I use Mountain Lion on my 2012 Air. I connect to a hard drive on my wireless router using the SMB protocol. Random files turn into folders.
I don't know if this is a problem with the OS X SMB protocol or my wireless router, which is a Linksys e3500.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files? I would like to convert them into Pages documents.

How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files? I would like to convert them into Pages documents. I also have old Word Perfect documents which have become similarly unopenable.

Best bet might be to try opening them using LibreOffice [free] and save them to .doc.
Do you really want to save them as .pages files? You are jumping from the frypan into the fire. Yet another proprietary format that Apple has again deadended with no working translation.

ID CS3 : the 101 buttons bug - PDF file turning into a form

Hi there,
I'm just mentionning this issue with a clear title (I had mentioned it in another thread but with a wrong topic name, since I hadn't found out the bug).
When working in inDesign CS3, there's a slight but annoying issue with interactive PDF buttons. As soon as your file reaches 101 buttons, the PDF document exported is considered as a form instead of a standard document (no matter if the buttons are present on the master pages, on the same pages or through the document).
I've managed to find a workaround myself, and I found another one on these forums, but no real solution. Here they are:
Workaround #1 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/2177707#2177707) :
Instead of creating my controls in the master page (which caused the file to have more than 100 buttons), I created them (only once) in the first page they appeared in. Then, in Acrobat Pro, I just selected them and used the "duplicate" command.
There are two benefits when using this solution:
your PDF document won't turn into a form (which can be a real problem if you don't want to confuse the document users).
your PDF file will be lighter. Indeed, when creating a button in inDesign (even if you create it on the master page) the exported PDF document won't contain X occurences of the same button, but X different buttons (which can incread the size of your document dramaticaly when it reaches a large amount of pages).
Yet, if your document reaches 101 buttons on the solemn content, the bug will trigger anyway.
Workaround #2 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/1322652#1322652) :
After having exported your PDF file, lock it against editing (through the password protection system). Your document will still be considered as a form, but the annoying purple box won't pop any longer when you open the file.
This solution is quite simpler, but it still is a workaround to the issue, not a solution.
Well, I hope those workarounds will help someone, but if someone had a *real* solution to it, that would be great.

Thanx! For me — prototyping — to block editing with password is enough (for now).

Ai file turned into DXF doesnt transfer correctly when opened in CAM software.

Hi please can anyone help. I am trying to create a DXF which can be used with CAM software. The file looks fine in Ai and even CAD software but loses all definition, turning into a black blob, when opened in CAM software. There are shapes within the outline which need cutting out and the DXF file shows intersections where these are. Are these intersections part of the problem? Thank you very much!

Think I might have just fingered it out on my own!
