Also, when opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail, the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Somehow the preview does destroy the file. What is going wrong?
You have already posted your issue in another thread. Resurecting all of these old threads (this one is over two years old) really will not help.
Have patience. Someone else may be along shortly and add to yours.

How to maintain PDF links when viewed in Apple Mail

Hi All
I've created a single page promo flyer in InDesign which has an email and a web link at the foot of the page. The flyer is to be distributed to clients as a PDF attachment via Apple Mail. The PDF has been created from the InDesign doc and the links display and behave as they are intended to. When I attach the PDF to a mail it displays just fine. I want recipients to be able to click on and follow the links directly from the Mail view in a single action without having to download the PDF and then click on the links. However when you try to click the links the whole PDF highlights blue and no link is activated. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this?
I'm using Apple Mail v7.3 on an iMac running OSX v10.9.5.
Thanks in anticipation!

E-mail Application not recognizing PDF Viewer on Pre

I am having trouble getting the e-mail application to open attached PDF files using the PDF viewer app. Any PDF file I attempt to open that was attached to an e-mail gives me an error message, "Cannot find an application which can open this file." I have taken the exact attached file from my PC, downloaded it to the PRE using a USB transfer, and am able to open it in PDF Viewer on the phone. I also tried to send myself a word document (.docx file), and was able to open and view that file through an E-mail attachment. I was previously able to open PDF files, and I assume I lost that functionality with the latest software update. I would appreciate any thoughts, or suggestions, as I am unsure if this is a software issue or something I can fix with some kind of settings. Thanks.

E-mail is through Hotmail.com
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have the same problem with my PRE. However, I noticed that the viewer will open PDF documents produced by "Amyuni PDF converter". So, depending on which software is used, the PRE will open or not the PDF file. I have called Palm about this (in sept of 09) and they said they were looking into it. It would be nice indeed to have a PDF viewer which would open all PDFs.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.

Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:

Can't open pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT&T/Yahoo Mail results in "a file was downloaded". Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and prior. Switching to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems it could be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies) but this did not fix the problem. I disabled the pdf viewed and that didn't help either.

i'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their server that makes certain old url formats dysfunctional - at least quite a number of other users have reported that... so if you have a bookmark for yahoo mail, change its address to the generic https://mail.yahoo.com/, which should redirect you to the current & working url

How do I change the default PDF viewer on my iPad so I can easily see annotations?

I keeping missing annotations on PDF because the built-in iPad Mail viewer does not show annotations. To limit the keystrokes, instead of using "open with" on each PDF email attachment to view in a third part app, I'd like to just change the mail default viewer. Is that possible with the current iPad operating systems?

No it is not possible to change the default pdf viewer in mail.

How to open a pdf attachment in imac mail

I am unable to open a PDF attachment in Mac Mail. There is not a PDF Icon in the email message. Is there a setting that should be checked?
I have a new iMac (less than a month old) with Mountain Lion.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It is an actual PDF that is an attachment to an email. There is not a link to click on to open the attachment.
The attachment is a statement that I normally open, then print..
What I am seeing on the monitor is the heading portion of the email with the statement image, all on one page..It prints exactly as seen on the screen.
I have checked my Mail>Preferences>Viewing Tab."Display remote images in HTML" messages is checked..
Thanks for the help.

PDF's with Preview & Mail

I'm using a website to place orders that creates a PDF receipt for me. When I try to view those files in Preview I get "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html" and not the document. They open fine in Acrobat, but when I try to attach the file to an email using Mail the same "To view..." message shows up in the email and the recipient cannot open it. Anybody having this issue or know what my problem is?

That would be the version I have installed. Did a bit more investigating... the "get info" for the PDF files says "Content Creator: Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2". They are opening as forms. I'm assuming the fact that they are PDF forms has something to do with why Preview & Mail won't display them. Still trying to search for a fix.

Enable and encourage user input in PDFs (viewed with Adobe Reader)
with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Form Assistant
Half-hour webinar (free; no fluff, no hype, no nonsense)
Wednesday, June 5, starting 9am PDT
Register at: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/157658438
Enabling PDFs for various types of user input can strengthen the interaction between users and the content, and improve satisfaction due to greater user involvement/control. In addition, designated avenues for user input can contribute to documentation quality and provide outlet for frustration, for example by sending inputs regarding the documentation or the product directly from within the PDF.
Techniques demonstrated in this webinar include features that are all embedded in PDFs that are viewed with the free Adobe Reader:
• text fields where users can record data values and options
• checkboxes to track progress
• page marks and notes (optionally e-mailed)
• embedded grading/feedback forms
• storing of useful search queries within the PDF for future use

Smartform output to pdf and send through mail

Hi,
I am able to save the output of the smartform as pdf file and able to send the pdf as attachment in mail.
But the problems are -
1 - As i have set the field - 'X' TO ls_control_param-getotf.
     I am unable to view the print preview of the billing document and no spool is getting displayed. I want to see the print preview and create a spool and also generate a pdf file.
2- I am using the FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send the mail of the pdf file. But i am getting the message like
    "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FranklinGothalicITCBook'. Some charactersmay not display or print correctly" followed by "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly".
Pls help me in resolving the issues.
Thanks,

Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

deleting the adobe plugins in Library worked for me:

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This might help as well.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

Can any tell me default PDF viewer for iPad??

Please let me know the default PDF viewer n iPad which Apple provides??

Depends on where you are getting the PDF from. If it's sent as an attachment in an email then Mail will open it; if it's on a website then Safari will open it. You can also download Apple's iBooks app for free which will open PDFs

Unable to open PDFs in received e-mail (Outlook)?

Unable to open PDFs received in Outlook (Office for Mac 2011). Adobe XI message displayed says "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Same PDFs attached to same mail messages open fine on iPad or iPhone. What could be the problem?

ivone dos santos,
Do you see a message like this when you open one of your PDF documents?
Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form". The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
As far as I know, no PDF viewers for iOS and Android mobile devices support dynamic XFA forms. Here are the examples of the iOS apps that do not support dynamic XFA forms.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Mail
Safari
iBooks
The PDF preview feature in Dropbox and other apps
The message is trying to tell you to use the latest desktop version of Adobe Reader, not the mobile version of Adobe Reader. I agree that the sentence, "You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader...", is somewhat misleading. The message is baked into the dynamic XFA form that was authored by Adobe LiveCycle (desktop app) without regard for non-desktop apps (i.e. mobile apps). Upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for iOS would not help in this case.
Currently, the only option to view and fill out dynamic XFA forms is to use the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Sorry for the confusion.

Google Chrome PDF viewer displays different fonts

When I design a document in either Indesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop I use many custom fonts. I export my PDF's as optimized as possible for web viewing from the layout program itself.
I don't stop there. I open my exported PDF in Acrobat and optimize the file further using the Optimize PDF tool. I flatten everything out, but I keep my fonts embedded. When I drag and drop the file in Google Chrome or Firefox the fonts change. I get some cheap looking serif font instead of my slab serif. I've tried unembedding the font as well and I get the same result.
What gives?
I just want to make sure this isn't something I'm doing wrong. What's weird is it happens in Firefox/Chrome, but it doesn't happen in Safari.
Firefox/Chrome PDF viewer:
Safari PDF viewer:

Interesting.
However, as what each of these browsers does to render a PDF is dictated by the respective coding discussions of that would have to take place each browsers "developer space".
Nothing there is controlled by Adobe eh.
Be well...
