PDF attachments from Mail not arriving in Outlook on PC

Using 10.6.7, with Font Update, sending with Mail, via Exchange Server 2007.
When attaching PDFs to emails, the attachments aren't being delivered properly in Outlook 2010 on a PC, using same Exchange Server. They are coming through in Outllook for Mac 2011 ok.
You can see the paper clip icon in Outlook 2010, but not attachment is seen in the email when opened. Word, Excel & JPGS etc are coming through ok.
Obvioulsy compressing the PDF works ok, but would like to know the reason for this issue.
Any help, gratefully received.
Thanks
Neil

In case anyone has similar issues, I've found the cause.
Basically... It's to do with the way Mail encodes attachments as "inline" If you have version2 Rollup3 of Exchange2007, which uses MAPI to send the email to Outlook, which can't render the attachment as it wasn't created the way Outlook expects it to have been.......!

PDF attachments in Mail not showing up in Outlook

I am using the Mail client on Snow Leopard to send a message with a pdf attachment. This attachment is not visible to recipients using Outlook 2010. Why? Windows Friendly Attachments setting is on. The PDF file was created by printing from Pages.

sorry, I should have been clearer
If you have an Exchange server; you need to apply the required Update Rollup to the Exchange server, rather than local Outlook clients. Noe that the Outlook Web Access should still display the PDF attachment.
"Consider the following scenario:
You have a server that has Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed.
You use a Mac Mail client to send an email message that includes a PDF attachment to a mailbox on the server.
You open the email message by using Outlook 2010.
In this scenario, the PDF attachment in the email message is not displayed.
Note The PDF attachment is displayed when you open the email message by using Outlook Web Access (OWA).
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
2509911 Description of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3"

Pdf attachments from mailing list not in mail

Hi,
I receive email from a phpList server in html format. Any attached PDF files are missing from Apple Mail (version 4.4). - no attachment, no inline - just disappeared into the ether.
If I check the mail using an alternative POP client (e.g. Eudora) the attachment is there.
Checking with friends using Windoze, Outlook also includes the attachment.
It seems there is a bug in Apple Mail

Can't open pdf attachments from Mail

When I'm in Mail and try to open or save to my computer and then open a pdf in Preview, I get an error message -
"The file “Proposal to Seattle City Light - Wolverine Study 6Mar2012.pdf” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
This happens with all pdfs in Mail. However, if I go to email account on the Internet and download the pdf it opens no problem. This is a new problem, though I can't say if it started happening as soon as I upgraded to Lion or if it happened sometime after (definitely not before).
Thanks!

I think maybe I wasn't completely clear in my reply to your original message.
I logged into my gmail account online and sent myself a pdf. I then retrieved that message with Mail and the pdf opened with no issues. It doesn't seem like that would be an issue with my mail service provider, because my pdf came through no problem, but those sent from others (all of whom I think are using Windows machines and hence Acrobat) will not open.
I'm going to see if I can get someone using a Mac and someone I know for sure is using a PC to send my pdfs and see what happens.

Intermittent error saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am reciving intermittent errors saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am seeing this too.

Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).
RE: the suggestion, checking security box "allow apps downloaded from all sites" I would really rather not do that.
On my system it is set to allow "Mac App store and identified developers."

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Can't open pdf documents from mail attachments

Have Adobe Reader free version installed. IPAD2 using latest IOS 7
When trying to open a pdf attachment from mail attachments, there is a quick flash screen that displays and the attachment doesn't open.
Is there a fix for this?

Will it open other PDF attachments? Perhaps that particular attachment is corrupt?
A few things to try...
1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Stripping Attachments from Mail messages.

Does anybody know of a utility for stripping out attachments from Mail messages so as to save storage space?

Hey thanks for the suggestions.
Firstly, embedded attachments can be dragged out of the email messages on Windows as they can on OS X.
Getting our clients to work like this could be difficult as they all have 1024px screens and from what we've seen they always have their windows maximised (in fact most Windows users seem to do this). But we'll suggest it.
Secondly, when you next plan to make an attachment be sure to use the menu or toolbar option for selecting an attachment. When the Choose File dialog appears you will see a checkbox in the lower left labeled "Use Windows friendly attachments." Be sure that option is checked.
We do this but it still doesn't seem to work - maybe their MailMarshal software is causing this?
Thirdly, be sure any attachment you send has the proper extension. For example, PDF files should have ".pdf", and JPEGs should have ".jpg" or ".jpeg" in order to be consistent with what Windows applications expect.
Yes, we do this.
Fourthly, often certain documents on OS X do not have an extension or the extension is slightly different, for example, Word documents may be ".docx" on the Mac, but need to be ".doc" in order for Word for Windows to open the document by double-clicking.
Have come across this also.
Fifthly, ZIP files should not normally be confused with junk. Your IT department may need to consider making some changes to their email filtering software.
We don't have an IT department, and based on recent conversations with their IT guys, they're definitely not interested in taking suggestions on email security from Mac users!
Will see how we go with getting our clients to work differently but I'd personally prefer to sort it our end - from their point of view it's a Mac issue and from what I can see I think they might be right.

Cannot forward one page PDF files from mail app

My earlier topic had incorrect problem report so I've created a new topic.
The problem is i cannot forward one page PDF file from mail apps. I use imap set up for my work email.
Multi page PDFs, photos, docs, numbers, all forward OK for both windows and Mac formats.

Update: I hade had a reply from the Good Reader app developer saying this is a known issue even for them. However, they don't know if Apple will fix this or not.
Basically mail app treats all one page PDF as if it's an image and will forward it the same as it would an image. Any non-apple based mail programs will have issues viewing this file..

You probably need to restore as new or from a backup. See p. 141 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Message was edited by: Tran Hoang Long

I have the latest version of iTunes with iBooks, and it doesn't have anywhere to drag PDF files into iTunes. Where are you seeing this? I tried every imaginable PDF, include a text document, I printed to PDF from textedit, then dragging it into the pane of grayed out books in iTunes.
What gives?
Here's a screenshot:

Can't download PDF attachments from Hotmail

Hi,
For the past 3 - 4 weeks, I have been unable to download PDFs attached to Hotmail messages. The Windows forum has been unable to help.
I'm running Windows 7, IE 9 and using Acrobat X standard.
So far I have cleared my cache and reinstalled silverlight as the Windows guys suggested. I also restored my computer to a point in the past when I could download attachments.
I can download PDFs from web sites, and open existing documents. I cannot download PDF attachments from other email accounts (such as my academic account).
Any thoughts?

If there is an option to download in binary mode, be sure that is selected. I do not have HotMail and have no clue what options might be available.

"From" presence not displaying in Outlook 2010

I've been working on a software product aiming presence and im integration with Microsoft Outlook using IMessenger API.
Integration works as expected with Outlook 2013. However, the presence indicator of the
"from" or sender does not display in Outlook 2010. The to, cc and bcc fields all display presence properly. In Outlook 2013 however, all of the from, to, cc and bcc fields display presence.
There is a similar discussion for Outlook 2013 on:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/a2500fec-fc3f-4295-bbe3-7620876a2d24/from-presence-not-displaying-in-outlook-2013
My problem is similar to this one except that I've the same problem with Outlook 2010 and I don't have this problem with Outlook 2013. It may be resolved in Outlook 2013 with a hotfix I don't know. Does anybody have the same issue and have a fix or workaround
for this situation? I have latest updates for Office 2010 already.
A strange thing is that when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 1, presence indicators are disappear from contact names as expected, however when I hover over the sender it
displays sender's presence correctly on tooltip. So integration seems ok when I look at this.
when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 2, presence indicators are disappear from both contact names and tool tips as expected.
when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 0, presence indicators are appear for contacts in to, cc, and bcc fields except "from" field, which is quite strange. After
I move around between messages, some of the sender's presence indicators starts displaying.
Does anybody know why the presence indicator is not displaying consistently for the "sender" contact in Outlook 2010 when TurnOffPresenceIcon has value 0? Does anybody have the same issue and have a fix or workaround for this situation?

Hi,
There is another registry value named TurnOffPresenceIntegration
which also have an effect on the presence indicator, please find the
Key in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM
or Policy Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Policies\microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM
and then check if the key value is set to 0.

Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
Any help with this?

I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7. Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message. I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability. Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.
