PDFs do not e-mail as attachments but as main body text!

Whenever I attempt to send a PDF document by e-mail it forms part of the main  body text rather than displaying as an attachment.
Answers please!

When I attach a PDF to Apple Mail on Mountain Lion, it is an icon. When I send it to an iCloud mail destination, the attachment arrives and is presented as an icon, whether on OS X, or in IOS 6.
I suspect that the recipient's mail user agent is responsible for the full image .vs. icon behavior, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

  • I receive and e-mail with attachments but when I forward them, the attachments are smaller. how to fix this?

    I receive e-mails with attachments, but when I forward them the attachments are reduced in size.  What do I need to do to have them forwarded the same size as I received them?

    If the attachments are photos, when you forward them, look on the bottom right of your compose window, change to "actual size".  It's probably set to small as displayed here:

  • 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 NOT download mail on laptop (but leave it for dl to my desktop); how can I get the lapt to recog what it already in its inbox and not add new copies each time

    I use a small Acer laptop on trips. I read email on it, but leave the mail on the server (POP acct at my university) for download at home onto my desktop. My problem is that the laptop does not recognize what it has already copied to my inbox, and so adds a new copy of all mail (that is on server) each time I "get" my mail. Is there some way that I can get it to only "get" what mail it does not already have ?

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

    There is something else that I just noticed.
    There is a typo in the type attribute of the CSS files.<br />
    Some have type="text/csss" instead of type="text/css" and that causes Firefox not to load those stylesheets.

  • I send e-mail with attachments but they dont show in folder

    I am sending e-mails using MacMail and if I send one with an attachment it doesn't show in the sent folder, although the e-mail has been sent and received. Can anyone help me or tell me why ?

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    Is this a POP or IMAP type account? If the latter, what are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors regarding Sent messages?
    Are you reporting that you can send, from within the Mail app, a message without attachment and it will be archived in the Sent mailbox, but not if it has an attachment?

  • PDF form not submitting after embedding attachments.

    Hi,
    In my process one user open the PDF forms, fills form and submit it to the next user. All was working fine. I have used Submit as XDP option while designing the pdf form. Later on I needed to attach files. But after attaching files my form is not being submitted. Help.

    Which version of Acrobat? Are you using a custom script for the email button, or just the Acrobat action to submit the form? Have you closed and re-opened Outlook and Acrobat to see if that fixes it? Could the submit button have been marked "readonly" on the general tab by mistake?

  • Is it possible to annotate pdf documents that are received as attachments within the main document?

    Hi There
    I am using the latest adobe reader app for iPad v11.6.4 and  I have recently received a meeting agenda by email which contained attachments within it.
    The agenda was prepared by a friend using the 'attach a file' function in acrobat.
    I can annotate the main agenda document, but when I click the paperclip icon at the bottom right hand side of my iPad, this opens the attached documents, but each time with the message "modifying this document is not allowed because it is an attachment".
    Is there anyway to enable annotation on attached documents within the version I am using, or is there a different version available which has this functionality?
    Thanks
    Paul 

    Hi,
    Currently, the Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support any changes (e.g. adding annotations) to attached documents, as the message indicates.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
    As a workaround, you could save attached PDF documents as individual PDFs in Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac desktop computer and transfer them to your iPad.

  • New purchased program from Adobe not working to open attachments in E-Main shown as DOC

    Purchased Adobe program to open DOC attachments--still can't open --need help  {email address removed by  admin}  Have important attachment but Adobe says can't open. What do I need to do? william logan

    No Adobe product is designed to open DOC attachments. What makes you think it did? A DOC file is usually a Microsoft Word document.
    HOWEVER, CreatePDF could convert them to PDF, if you subscribed to that.

  • Mail w/attachments are received in body of mail

    I have an imac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), mail 3.6.  When I send an e-mail with an attachment, either a photo or a document, to a PC user, old or new, the attachment is received and shown in the body of the mail.  There IS NO attachment;  NO paper clip;  the photo or file is in the body of the mail and cannot be copied, pasted, etc.  This problem seems to have started when I installed Leopard.  I have noticed others in "discussions" having the same problem.
    It does not matter what proceedure I use when adding attachment, the receiver has no seperate attachment.  I have check marked "windows friendly" box.

    THIS LINK HAS SOLVED MY PROBLEM:
    Turn off 3G
    Turn off Cellular Data service
    Reset Network Settings (you will lose all wifi settings)
    Delete all the email accounts (will lose all mails)

    Reboot phone
    Re-add each email address one by one
    Re-enable the fetch and push features for the emails
    Re-enable 3G
    Re-enable Cellular Data service
    Re-Add your wifi networks and passwords.

  • When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", but I can copy text into Word document & printer works.

    I am unable to print anything from an internet web page. I continually get "printer not activated, error code- 30" followed by "An unknown error occurred while printing".

  • Can view attachments but can't forward them

    *Pls advise me how can I forward my emails with attachments.I can view my mails with attachments but when I forward them, my friends only receive most of mails w/o attachments.I am using Iphone4 IOS 4.I have tried my hotmail,gmail & yahoo accounts but facing same problem.*

    I've never done it so all I can do is see what the User Guide says:
    Forward a message Open a message and tap , then tap Forward.
    Add one or more email addresses, type your
    message, then tap Send.
    When you forward a message, you can include the
    files or images attached to the original message.
    IF I'm reading this right, it looks like forwarding attachments is an optional action, not a default. Let me try it.
    OK, it worked for me on my iPad. On my iMac I created a message with an attachment in my ISP account and sent it to an AOL account. I then read the message on my iPad after which I forwarded it to my Moble Me account. I then used my iMac to log into MobileMe and the message was there with the attachment.
    Here are the steps I took on my iPad: After tapping on the forwarding icon, a drop down appeared asking me if I wanted to include the attachment. I said yes and then sent off the message. Is that what you did? My iPad has iOS 4.2.1 on it.

  • Attachments visible with internet mail, but not with Mail.app

    Others have written before about this question, but I don't find a satisfying answer (that would have to come from the Apple people themselves). I received emails that contained several attachments (pdf files), as visible from the size of the messages and the raw source, but only one or two of the attachments showed in the Mail application (version 4.5), and sometimes there was even no body text. I was puzzled and went to the web application of my provider to look at the same messages. EVERYTHING was there! so I decided to transfer the messages again to myself, and miraculously everything was there as well in Mail.app.
    Now, is this a weakness of Mail.app, a wrong use of attachments by the sender or what else? Anyway, it is annoying, because I wonder how many attachments I have never seen.
    Does anyone know of a solution, please?

    Okay, I found the answer if anyone is having the same problem. The Mail POP settings on the Mac for the various Accounts I had were outdated. They were just for Dial-Up. Here is the link for the entire ATT page that deals with High Speed and iPhone connections, and the part in particular that helped me get it going.

    Note: Worldnet support is limited to providing the iPhone E-mail Configuration Settings. For all other iPhone technical support issues, refer the customer to: att.com/wireless
    Note: If you are using Mac OS 10.x, set up Mac OS X Mail to access your AT&T Worldnet Service e-mail.
    E-mail Settings:
    Mail Server Type: POP3
    Incoming Mail (POP): ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP): imailhost.worldnet.att.net
    Note: If you are using Netscape Mail, enter your other ISP's outgoing e-mail server. If you are not sure what the SMTP server name is, contact your non-AT&T Worldnet Service ISP.
    Ensure that the option My server requires authentication is checked.
    User name or POP name: Enter the full e-mail address in the User Name field. For example: [email protected] or [email protected]
    Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab.
    Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 465 for SMTP.
    Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 995 for POP3.
