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.

How do I stop dowloaded pdfs from opening automatically in Adobe?

The last few weeks, instead of just downloading pdfs to my chosen location on my computer, they've been opening automatically in Adobe. I'm not sure what started it, but I've updated software for my browser, Adobe and my OS in the last month or so.

Go to your Firefox Preferences Applications panel and see what is listed for pdf files (may be listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document"). Use the drop-down menu to change the setting to either "Save File" or "Always Ask" if it is set to open in Adobe.
See [[Managing file types]] for details.
Also look in Firefox Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions for a Firefox PDF extension that may be opening pdf files automatically and, if found, disable the extension. See [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]

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.

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.

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".

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.

Print PDF Attachments Automatically...???

Hello All,
I have an eFax account that emails me a PDF attachment when I get a fax...
Is there any way that anyone can think of that I print the PDF attachments and automatically when an email comes into that account...??
For billing purposes, I open and print them all anyway, so maybe some automation will make my day a little easier...
Thanks for the input...

Make a rule to fire an applescript when you get one of these.
Have the script save the attachment in a particular folder.
Give the folder a folder action script which sends the new file to the printer.

Why does'nt a pdf file sent to me open automatically. I have to open adobe software first and then open the file.

Why cant a pdf file open automatically.I have to first open adobe software and then open the document.

All files have their "native" application. Without the application the file cannot be created.
Once created the file must have the native application to be "opened".
For the application to do that first to open is the software (application).
Be well...

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
#in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
#close the about:config tab and test
#See:
#*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
#*Also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries (click on "Browser", scroll down to browser.search.openintab)

Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9.

I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro why do some files open automatically and other do not.

when I save a file as a pdf. and go to the folder the file only opens if I select it. When I download a file as a pdf it opens automatically in the same folder. How do I get all files to open automatically.

The options on the save are typically either in the printer properties (if printing to the Adobe PDF printer) or in the Acrobat preferences if using PDF Maker in such programs as WORD. The button is included to allow opening on creation. If it is opening on download, that is typically based on how your browser is set up to call software for the file types being downloaded.

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.

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!
