.PDF Attachments in "Mail" appear differently.

I am using Mac OS 10.7.4 (Lion) on a new iMac.  My old computer, a G5 PowerMac, just bit the dust after many years of great service.  I was using Entourage as my mail server, but it is no longer supported.  So i'm getting acquainted with Apple's "Mail".
Now, when I attach pdf files to my outgoing mail, the attached documents will appear sometimes as in miniature as standard "PDF Adobe" icons and other times they will appear as larger pict of the first page of the document.  I would prefer to eliminate this larger 'first page' look and keep the files showing up as PDF Adobe icons.  
How can I remove this display of attachments in the larger size 'first page' view?  Any help or advise would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Linc.  I have followed your advise and downloaded Tinker Tool and changed the preferences as suggested.  I haven't tested it yet, though.  If it doesn't solve my problem, I'll so advise.  If it does, I'll be hitting the "This solved my question" button.
Still getting acquainted with Lion.  I'm sure I'll have more questions.

    The problem is new, just a few days ago I can read the same pdf attachments without problems.
    I aprecciate any help you can give me.
    Thanks

    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

  • PDF Attachments in mail in background

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to execute two different programs in background from another program.
    I am getting two different spool numbers also.
    Pl guide me to convert those spool numbers into separate PDF documents and mail those PDF documents to internet mail ID.
    Regards
    Elini.P

    Elini,
    The FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF converts spool into PDF form. And you can use FM SO_OBJECT_SEND to send mail with PDF output as attachment.

  • Problems with pdf attachments in Mail.app

    Any pdf attachment in Mail.app says it's empty and when I double click it says it can't be opened ´cause it's empty. The thing is on Windows using Thunderbird (yes I know, I've spoken the name that can't be spoken) the same attached pdf shows normally.
    I have no antivirus in the mac, or any type of filtering. In fact, Mavericks was clean installed about a month ago. Attachments arrive from Gmail. From the Gmail web interface, the file is fine and opens normally.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Krischi,
    sounds good (for you).
    What do you mean exactly by "deleted iCloud"?
    I do experience the problem not only with my iCloud mail account, but with all others also.
    Are you sure you have 7.0"3"? For me it says 7.02 is the newest and current version.
    Brgds,

    Hi Peter,
    Writing my post I made an mistake! I deleted my app CloudOn instead of iCloud and as soon I did it, I could handle my PDF attachment as before using iOS5.x!
    The reason for this might be the fact, that CloudOn currently, according to the AppStore, is not upgraded to iOS 7.0.2!
    Regarding iOS 7.0.3 it was a typo! I'm using 7.0.2
    Hope that helps

  • Pdf attachments cause mail to freeze

    When I receive emails with single page pdf attachments, mail freezes while trying to show preview of the pdf. I then have to force quit mail.
    These files aren't particularly large- the last one to freeze was 2.6 megabytes. This is a new and powerful computer, why cant a simple thing like a pdf be previewed in mail without crashing?

    Mail is very glitchy in mountain lion. I own the same laptop and I am very frustrated as well.

  • Trouble sending 2MB-3MB pdf attachments in Mail.

    I have sent 2MB-3MB pdf scanned documents as attachments in Mail for years.  In the last month, I can only get them to send intermittently.  What can be done?  OS X 10.6.8 running on iMac and MacBook Pro.  Same problem on both computers.  Not an email server issue.

    What email provider? (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, ATT, other)
    What happens when they don't send? Are they just stuck in the Outbox?
    Have you looked at using DropBox?  Get a free DropBox account.
    Drag the files into DropBox and you can get a link to send to your friend to download.
    Another option with DropBox is to use a Shared folder. If you share files a lot with your friend, setup a Shared folder and everything in the folder will be shared. Obviously they also need to setup a free DropBox account (works on Windows). Just keep the folder size under the 2GB free limit.
    For the future... OS X Yosemite Mail coming this fall, will offer a way to share files like DropBox.
    Mail Drop allows you to attach large files via iCloud.
    Attachments can be up to 5GB in size. -new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mail

  • 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" 

  • Fonts set in outbound mail appear differently in recipient's mailbox

    I run all of my Mac Mail v4.2 (1078) in Verdana 11pt. I have a variety of elaborate signatures, also set to Verdana 11pt. When I author outbound mail, in Verdana 11pt, attach one of many signatures, and then view those emails on receiving computers, some appear as authored, but most show up with the signature in Verdana 11pt, but the body in a generic serif font (perhaps Times or similar). I cannot figure out how to keep the entire email in Verdana 11pt, on all receiving computers. Happy to attach PDF for a visual, but not sure that's possible in Apple forums?
    Many thanks.

    Mail > Preferences does not have a setting that determines the font seen at the other end. You must set that individually for each outgoing in the New Message pane. Also you may need to set it to something else than what is set in Mail > Preferences.
    Some users find this behavior too cumbersome and prefer to use another email client which does have this feature, such as Entourage or Thunderbird.
    It has been discussed here often and at length, e.g.

  • 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 play like QuickTime files

    This is really off the wall and a problem for which I have searched, without success, for an answer.
    Using SL and Apple Mail, when I receive an email from one other Apple user, with a .pdf file attached, the first page of the .pdf file opens in Mail and when you get to the bottom of the first page of that email, you are presented with a slider, as in the type on which you click to play a QuickTime file. Click on it and subsequent pages of the .pdf file flash by, one after the other, too quick to read.
    To see what I mean, look at the screen shot I took of the bottom half of one of his incoming emails.

    Is this weird or what?
    Any suggestions, observations, thoughts??

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Print PDF Attachments in Mail message

    How can I print a PDF attachment in a message? I don't want to print the email just the attachment.
    I would-have thought right-click would give me an option to but no.

    Not that I can see.
    The file has to be accessed in it's native form to be printed.
    You could make a simple automator Application that prints whatever you drop on it. Then all you would have to do is drag and drop the files onto the Automator Application and it would print them.
    I think it's just as easy to double-click and go to File > Print. But thats just me.
