PDF attachments in gmail

Unable to open PDF file in Adobe application.  PDPs open in gmail but image size is fixed.
Ipad2 iOS5 does not display open icon shown in Adobe reader app.

I'm still working on the problem.  This is what I have uncovered so far.  The Google web site documents problems opening PDFs in Chrome browser.  By default PDFs are previewed in Chrome unless the preview option is disabled. In this case the PDF is opened in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.  However, I use Safari as the browser and the PDFs are attached to e-mails.  They can be previewed but cannot be opened in Adobe Reader.

  • ? Can't print PDF attachments to gmail since installing 11.06

    I am on Windows 7 and Firefox,  Since installing 11.06 I can't print PDF attachments to gmail messages.  I get a (false) message that file cannot be printed, because no pages have been selected.  I tried uninstalling 11.06 and downloading and insatalling it again,  Same result. Any way to download a backlevel version for the time being?  Would appreciate any other sugestions.. 

    Disabling Protected Mode as suggested solved the problem.  It seems to me the impact of Protected Mode should have been highlighted with a warning at the download site.  Alternatively, and in my opinion preferably, Protected Mode enabled should not have been made the default. -shel488

  • Mail 4.5 corrupts PDF attachments from gmail (while outlook 2011 doesnt)

    I have a gmail account with scanned documents.
    I add this account to in Mail and then some of the PDFs are damaged and can not be corrected. The interesting matter is that via web-access and Outlook 2011 there is not a problem.
    I have tried many different solutions I could find on the web incl. here. From deleting the mailboxes to deleting the cache-files. Ultimately I deleted the whole mail app (incl. lib files with CleanMyMac), reinstalling and reinstalling the combo.
    After adding the account the last time, I minimized the window, till all activity was finished and everything cashed etc.
    I opened mail and again the same problem.
    Additional remarks: There are many attachments with the same name, because they were send by a HP Office machine. Some have a problem most don't I would estimate the problem is in 10% of the mails.
    Again via Web-access and Outlook 2011 all attachments are correct.
    I could use Outlook, their calendar doesn't sync with gmail and I also don't like how outlook is handling (and messing-up) my v.cards .
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    The IMAP setting to Keep copies of messages and their attachments has little impact unless not connected to the internet and wanting to work Offline. If connected to the internet, and you click on a message, it will be downloaded, even if not already so by virtue of this setting. If not selected to Keep copies . . . and attachments, then you will be subject to the goodness of the internet connection at that moment. I am only partially keeping abreast of your investigations, but it may be that transmission is muddled at certain times?
    I didn't actually try reading the messages without an internet connection. When I had the account in the default "message+attachment" option, the attachments tended to stay on the server. When I switched to "message, no attachment", the attachments were always downloaded. That sure sounds like the opposite of what I would have expected. I've never used the "message, no attachment" setting so that is new to me.
    But I may be missing a step in the sequence of things you have found out. Do you have any reason to think that in the message cache created by selecting Keep copies . . . something could be altering files?
    I know that if the Mailbox index gets corrupted, it can cause attachments to be lost - at least temporarily. When I do testing with a local mail server, sometimes the timing is off (too fast maybe) and the message is almost always corrupted. Rebuilding the mailbox fixes it.
    My initial theory was that the HP devices were spitting out bad MIME messages and that gmail was fixing them. Now I think that gmail IMAP just flakes out every so often with these big files. There could be other explanations too. The PDF was just truncated. I don't think a bug in Apple Mail is a likely possibility.

  • My pdf attachments are not readable

    Recently when I sent pdf attachments to people they are not readable. When I send the same pdf attachments through gmail they are. My smpt is on my server (not gmail). Any idea why this does not work?
    Thanks

    tried another SMTP server, just to test?

  • Since switching from Chrome, I can't print .pdf attachments directly from my gmail. Please help.

    It used to be (in Chrome) that I could view a .pdf attachment in gmail and from there print. Now in Firefox, when I view a .pdf attachment the print option is there and the print dialogue box comes up when I click it, but once I hit "OK" nothing comes out of the printer. I can print emails and other items, so it's not a printer connectivity problem or a problem with the print setup in Firefox. The only items affected are .pdf attachments in my gmail account. I've tried switching .pdf readers and turning off Protected Mode in Adobe. Please help!

    What PDF reader r u use and what version is it?

  • Cannot preview attachments in gmail

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4. Since that time I cannot preview .doc, .xls or .pdf attachments. I can preview small .txt files. I know this is not an issue with gmail because I can get previews in Safari. Using macbook pro with OSX 10.6.7. I look forward to hearing from you.

    You're welcome.

  • PDF attachments are showing up as WORD doc attachments

    For some reason, my Gmail program shows PDF attachments (that were created using Adobe) as a WORD attachment? When I double click on the attachment, it tries to open in WORD and just shows gobbledygook.  Yet, if I don't try to open it and save it to MY Docs, and then go in through Adobe and open it there, it works fine. This has just started in the last month or so. It's the same with every single attachment.

    In WIndows 7 or Vista Go to Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations.
    Scroll down the list to .pdf. Cick Change Program and set it to Adobe Reader. Click OK.

  • PDF attachments are blank.

    I have been composing and sending emails with pdf attachments for years through my gmail account with no problems...in the last few days, my customers are all complaining that the pdf files are blank.  All the pages send, but they have nothing on them.  I have been double checking before hitting send, and everything is fine.  I go to my sent items and the pdf's are indeed blank.  It is quite frustrating.

    Hi namtrag,

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Not sending mails with attachments (Imap Gmail)

    I've only Imap-Gmail accounts in my Apple Mail, and using it for almost a year without any problems. But since a couple of weeks, most of the time I'll send an email with an attachment in it. I'll get the Pop-Up window that the mail can not be sent, and that I can choose another mailserver to send the mail. When I check my connection, there is not a problem. But the mail is still standing in my Outgoing Mail and is not sending.
    Can anyone help?

    I was troubleshooting my own issue noted above and tried to send the attachments via gmail's web interface (bypassing Apple Mail). This time, gmail provided an error message stating that the file contained a virus.
    Since it was a zip of several Word docs, I saved them as PDFs and then rezipped, and Apple Mail sent them off like a champ.
    Evidently, Mail does not have a method for relaying the precise nature of the error message that gmail sends (in this case that the attachment had what gmail thought was a virus). This would be a prime area for some software developers to tackle on a future version of Mail.
    By the way, the files almost certainly do not contain viruses; they are extremely old Word Docs that have been on my successive Mac hard drives for at least 9 years. Too old a format for gmail to recognize?
    Hope this helps someone who may be having the same trouble.

  • 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.
          LOOP AT it_lines.
            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.
