PDF Attachments in Entourage

I have discovered a conflict between Entourage and Leopard and, apparently, Apple is aware of it though I can find no mention of it anywhere. If reading this saves you the hours I have spent trying to fix the problem, then it will be worthwhile. Basically, when viewing pdf attachments within Entourage emails you may find text impossible to read as the fonts you were expecting to see have been replaced by all sorts of odd characters. Sometimes these pdf attachments will appear completely correctly and, next time you look at them, they have gone weird! I have tried everything and spent 2 hours on the phone with a very helpful lady from Microsoft but we have reached the conclusion that this is a Leopard problem. I called Apple and they said that they were aware of this and would try to fix in a future update.

Hi,
If you have to display the pdf attachment in the report output, you may try using CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER. Have a look at this code sample as to how to implement it

Opening pdf attachments in Entourage

How can I set the opening of pdf file attachments in Entourage to Acrobat instead of Preview?

Are you including the .jpg file extension with all attached files and what are you using for the attachment encoding selection available with Entourage?
At the menu bar go to Entourage > Preferences > Compose.
Under Attachments at Encode for:, you should use Any Computer (AppleDouble) or Windows (MIME/Base 64).

Cannot open .pdf attachment in entourage

Hi
I am receiving .pdf attachments which are greyed out, and cannot open them. Telstra helped me with my email problems yesterday and since then cannot open .pdf. I can open other attachment such as .doc. Entourage Version 12.3.6 in my Mac Book Pro.
I can open the same .pdf in my Ipad.
Thanks

Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

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.

Multiple pdf attachments from server folder using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Dears,
I am trying to build a program able to send an email with multiple pdf attachments.
The files are stored in a folder in SAP server.
I am able to generate a pdf file from a spool and sucessfully attach it to the email using:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
      IMPORTING
        bin_filesize           = v_bin_filesize
      TABLES
        otf                    = job_output_info-otfdata
        doctab_archive         = it_docs
        lines                  = it_lines
      EXCEPTIONS
        err_conv_not_possible = 1
        err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
        OTHERS                 = 3.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.

        TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
        CONCATENATE gd_buffer it_lines INTO gd_buffer.
      ENDLOOP.
      TRANSLATE gd_buffer USING '~ '.
      DO.
        it_mess_att_aux = gd_buffer.
        APPEND it_mess_att_aux.
        SHIFT gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
        IF gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
Internal table it_mess_att_aux is the parameter contents_bin of FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
I have now 2 files on a server folder which I would like to include as well.
I am reading the content of the pdf files in following way:
DATA:   gd_buffer                 TYPE string,
      OPEN DATASET lv_fileserver FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE e257(zmsgsd) WITH lv_fileserver.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR: it_mess_att_aux[], gd_buffer.
        DO.
          READ DATASET lv_fileserver INTO gd_buffer.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.
          APPEND gd_buffer TO it_mess_att_aux.
        ENDDO.
        APPEND LINES OF it_mess_att_aux TO it_mess_att.
I do not understand the purpose of the statement:
        TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
in this context. Could anyone explain it?
All the files are attached to email with the desired name but corrupted and with the wrong size.
Can anyone help me build the logic to attach a pdf file from server in a email?
Thank you in advance,
Kind Regards,
João Cabrita

I am not able to open the pdf attachments that someone sent me it comes up with a gray box saying adobe cannot open?

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

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.

My HP Officejet 8500a All-In-One forwards faxes (as a tiff file) to my iphone. Can only view/receive 1st page, embedded into email as a non-attachment. Iphone receives email(s) pdf attachments well. What can I do?

My HP Officejet 8500a All-In-One forwards faxes (as a tiff file) to my iphone. Can only view/receive 1st page, embedded into email as a non-attachment. Iphone receives email(s) pdf attachments well. What can I do?

Try this app
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fax-reader/id406902152?mt=8

Unable to view PDF attachments from my iPhone.

I am using service called RightFax this service is send the faxes to clients mailboxs. I have been reported from clients that they are unable to view the attachmentson their iPhones, the attachment format is PDF. The attachment can be openned from any desktops and Android phones without any issue.
i can see attachment from on my iPhone but when i tab on it to view it it just scrolled up to the top of the mail. Also if i farward the same fax mail to my self then i can view the attachment.The IOS version is 7.1.
I contact the RightFax company to check with them why only attachments from fax mails with PDF format is not openning from iPhone devices from the first time, the company check theur services and do tests and reply me that there is no issue with their services since the PDF attachments are openned on android and desktops. They informed me that it might could be compatability issue between Exchange 2013 and apple that doesn't allowed PDF attachments to be openned from the first time, so they advised to contact Apple support to find out why PDFs are not openning when i initially attempt to download them.
I download third party mail client on my iPhone and all fax attachments are openned without problem.
Could anyone help me with this strange issue ??

RightFax advised you to contact Apple Support - this is NOT Apple Support but rather a public user to user technical support forum.
As far as I know, it is not possible to open PDF attachments on an iPhone, but it is on an Android phone, which is why you are having the problems - unless there is an app to help you that you can purchase in the app store, then there is not a lot you can do about this, except switch to an android phone, but as far as I know, you have never been able to open PDF documents on an iPhone.

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace
[email protected]

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

No Longer Able To Resize Images (PDF Attachments)

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am now unable to resize my PDF attachments once they are within an email.
Maybe I'm missing something, but in the older version of Mail / Leopard I was able to easily resize my attached PDF's on the fly by simply adjusting their size from a drop-down menu in the lower-right corner of the email window by selecting: Image Size: "Small" "Medium" "Large" or "Actual Size."
To the best of my knowledge, this window no longer exists for PDF's, although it is still available for attached JPEG resizing.
I am deeply invested into using and resizing PDF's in my workflow and would like to regain this ability.
Any suggestions or solutions for this dilemma would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Please check this further -- make sure you open the PDF with a PDF reader in a copy either sent to yourself or in the Sent mailbox. Do not base the resolution on what you see if it is a one page PDF, and Mail is displaying it in the message with View in Place. The View in Place is not the full story.

PDF attachments in Email lost ability to "open with"

Just in the last few weeks, suddenly ios email is treating PDF attachments as a picture only offering me the option to Save Image or Copy when I press and hold the preview image in email.
I need to be able to Open With my apps like GoodReader,
I have already tried a reset and that did nothing

I guess you mean that after ******* around deleting this and that, and getting it to work once or twice, the problem resurfaced ?
This is a bug pure and simple. The same problem is in evidence when using a link to a pdf in Safari. The only thing you get is the qick-view output (1.st. page) and no opportunity to open it with, or save it to iBooks.
You would think that Apple would want to solve this problem, wouldn't you?

PDF Attachments in Report output.

Hi Gurus,
I have a Smartform Print program. My Business needs it the Smart form output is send to E-mail as PDF attachment.
But the exact requirement is ,
They need it a summury report before sending to E-mail.
In the report output The Smart form appears as an PDF atachment. If he clicks that attachment user can able to open and see the attachment. And beside the attachment there is one check box. If he checks the check box and click on E-mail button, then only the PDF should goes to E-mail as PDF attachment.
Here my question how we can place the PDF attachments in Report output.
If any one have suugestion or samle code send it to me.
Thanks and Regards
Srihari.

Hi,
If you have to display the pdf attachment in the report output, you may try using CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER. Have a look at this code sample as to how to implement it
