Pdf attachments open in body of e-mail

Using my mac mail program, when I click (on the paper clip) to attach a PDF - instead of an icon, it opens up in the body of the e-mail. Please advise. Thanks, Iza

It might make a difference whether the document "kind" is PDF Document or Adobe PDF Document. Because Mac OS X distinguishes files by more than just the extension, two files that end in .pdf may look different to applications.
Download those attachments, do a Get Info for both in Finder, and see if they are different based on Kind. See if that is related to them opening in the email body and not opening.

PDF attachments opening in mail messages

Hello when I send a pdf file as an attachment in a mail message, the file opens. I'd like to send the file as an icon/attachment and not display the contents of the file. How do I do this. Thank you very much.

I thought I did:
But just to be sure, I propagated permissions to all enclosed, but that did not seem to change anything.
Maybe this is one of those "just because".

Hi Matthew Billingham,
i struggled quite a while if i should write a reply or not.
The fact that one of my posts got rejected by suggesting FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 finally made me do so. (maybe the rejection was ok for the context i wrote my post for but reading through the forum i feel like some people going to panic if they read the FM-name).
I totally agree with u using CL_BC-Classes instead of old fashioned-FMs for new development.
But that should not lead us in handling the name SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 like they did with the name Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter.
Wanting to display a PDF in email body instead of adding it as attchment, aint nescessary worth a complete redesign of the existing programm - as Cem Unal already posted his code and told us he just want to change it.
As long as there are programms out that use this FM, there will be questions on how to handle this FM no matter if its obsolete or not. And where should they ask, when they wont be able to ask in the scn-forum?
Reading the FMs documentation, there is nothing mentioning this FM is obsolete.
So the strategie of suggesting to use newer technics because of personal preference should (in my opinion) not lead into deleting posts regarding the old technic on the other hand.
regards
Stefan Seeburger

Pdf attachments opening automatically

When I click on a message with a pdf attachment at icloud.com it opens the attachment automatically. How can I stop this behavior?

ok, so i changed firefox to ask me before opening it. but i think it's weird that i don't get an icon for pdf attachments. it just tries to open them right when i click on the message.

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.

Why do PDF attachments open in Mail

When I add a PDF as an attachment in Mail it opens the first page and the other pages do not show.
This only happens after installing Maverick OS10.9. I had previously used Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this was never a problem.
Do I have to reset something in Mail ?

If you tap and hold the the PDF that renders in your email - you will get the pop up. Just tap the middle of the PDF and hold your finger there until the pop-up comes up.

Keeping pdf files from opening in body of e-mail

Anyone with a suggestion? I know it can be done, I just forget how.

Isn't there a way of zipping the file with the OS or do I need a standalone program to do it?
Command-click on the file you want to Zip and select "Create Archive of <filename>.

Adobe Presenter issue with PDF attachments opening

I attached all my supplemental documents as PDF attachements so that they would be part of the zipped file when published. Once published, I tried clicking on an attachment, and I get a presenter file attachment window, indicating I need to save to my computer and click to download. When I click the hyperlink, I get a swirling circle for about 3 minutes and nothing ever is downloaded to my computer. What's wrong?

Save that pdf file on desktop and try to open it using adobe reader.
Downlaod the latest version to Reader XI and then try to open those pdf files.

I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the phone. When I check e-mail via my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Pdf attachments to windows mail won't open correctly

pdf attachments to emails won't open. I'm using Vista Ultimate 64. The attachments want to open in system 32, and error message says to "set associations." Set asociations is already set to reader 9.1 (which I just updated to 9.2 in an attempt to get it to work). It shouldn't make a difference whether the document was created on a 32 bit or 64 bit computer. I tried saving the attachment but something converted it to a .doc format. When I tried to open it I got pages full of code (in WordPad) not a formatted page. Current documents saved in pdf open as they should as long as I open them from the document file. I don't know whether it is windows, windows mail or some other program that is responsible for this. Documents downloaded from websites work fine. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? How do you fix it?

PDF attachments won't open in ios4 mail

PDF attachments received in ios4 mail will not open. First page only displayed. How to fix?

i finally got it to work. i went through all my apps and tried to think of anything that could interfere, including iBooks, and removed them using iTunes. I then hard reset my phone and checked to see if i could at least view them as i used to (iBooks) and i was. i then put iBooks back on my phone, checked a PDF in mail and was able to quicklook it or open in iBooks. i was able to then add the other apps back with out losing the functionality.
apps i removed to get it working:
Stanza
AirSharing
EasyTask
Bump
Photoshop Mobile
hope this helps

UNABLE TO OPEN PDF ATTACHMENTS IN E-MAIL

Over the past week,I have been unable to open PDF attachments in my AOL webmail. I encounter no problems with my Outlook Express e-mail. Why is this suddenly happening and how can I correct the problem?

To make sure that Adobe Reader is default,
goto Edit->Preferences->Select default PDF Handler. Check the value in the dropdown list "Select Adobe product". If the first value which appears is 'Adobe ReaderX', then Reader X is the default PDF Handler.
Also please let me know the OS you are using.
Is the problem also faced in AOL webmail with any other Adobe Product(like Acrobat X, Reader 9 etc.) if you are using/used any of them?
Thanks,
Shakti

Opening Large PDF attachments in e-mail?

m trying to open large PDF attachments from e-mail (10-30mb) and either ipad says it can't open them "too large to read" or acts as though it will open but then doesn't open. Any tips on how to make this work?

I can open a 100mb pdf with iBooks.
Try a reset; Hold the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time untill the Apple logo turns up on your screen.

Mail (in Mountain Lion) automatically opens my PDF attachments rather that adding them as a file. How do i stop this?

Mail (in Mountain Lion) automatically opens my PDF attachments rather than attaching them as a "file". How can I prevent this?

Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Applications tab, and check the box labeled Don't display contents of attachments inline. Then relaunch 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.
