Print Mail 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 can open the PDF attachments and print them automatically...??
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.

Adobe reader X prints email PDF attachments as english then oriental

Using Windows XP, IE 8, Adobe Reader X and HP Laserjet 4000 printer.
Sometimes when I print email PDF attachments from Office Outlook 2003, the attachments start printing in English and then subsequent pages turn into an oriental language (not sure which one). If I view the attachment prior to printing all the pages are clearly in English. Other times if I print the item and it is okay (in English), if I reprint it, it may start in English and then goes to the other language.
I have not incurred anything like this in any other printing program that I use such as Word or Excel.
I have no idea why this is happenning. Any ideas what causes this and if so how to correct this?

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

Print Mail PDF Email client

I just recently installed the new Office MAC 2008 (my problems seems to happen with any application) and decided to use the new Entourage as my default email client. When I'm in any application and go to Print>mail PDF a file my non-default (originally)email client keeps activating. How do I change my default email client to work when I Print>Mail PDF from within an application. Thanks Chris

The other way to configure this is to select the "Edit Menu..." item in the print dialog's PDF button/menu. A utility window will appear. You can add new items by hitting the plus button in the lower left of that window. His the plus button and then pick Entourage. This will add the alias to the PDF Services folder for you.

Mail pdf attachments gibberish

Suddenly Mail downloads pdf attachments as a mile of gibberish and not a separate file as it used to. Why? What can I do? Can anybody help?
In webmail the are ok so the problem must by with Mail.

I have the same problems ever since I started Mac'ing 2 years ago. My guess is that Mac Mail is not able to interpret old versions of pdf even though Preview is. Simple solution is to install:

I don't understand, why Apple isn't including this as a standard preference option.

Lion Mail PDF attachments occasionally corrupting

Since upgrading to Lion I've noticed that some PDF attachments won't open in Preview - I get the following:
=====
The file “1234.pdf” could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize
=====
This continues to happen even after I drag the attachment to the desktop or rebuild the IMAP inbox.
If I go to the webmail for the email provider, open the mail and download the attchment it is fine - so something in Lion (never had this before in Snow Leopard) seems to be corrupting it.
Anyone able to shed some light on that's going on here?
Thanks
Robert

So far I'm seeing this with PDFs. In one email, I had two versions of the same PDF: one was the original, and the other had been highlighted and anotated (probably in Preview). The original opens, and the other gives me problems.
I've used the highlighting feature heavily in Preview, but I've found that it occasionally corrupts the PDF, such that if you copy and paste text (not necessarily the highlighted text), it come out all garbled. I'm wondering if Lion does a better job identifying damaged PDF files (damaged by previous OS versions, perhaps). Haven't been able to look into this very much, but I'm eager to find out what the problem is.

Mail PDF attachments not clear

When I look through my Sent box the emails that have one page pdf attachments are so badly blurred (or not clear) that it is really difficult to read them.
When I then open the attachment with Preview it's nice and sharp.
This was not a problem before upgrading to SL.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I, too, have exactly the same issue.The pdfs were placed in the body of the e-mail and the recipient got blurred images. I switch to AOL, and both attachments opened up in excellent condition on the other end.
I plan to send quite a few more in the future, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

Mailing .pdf attachments to Presto Printer doesn't work with Firefox but does with IE, how can I fix this?

Since upgrading to 4.0.1 the email address [email protected] indicates that there is something wrong with any attachment in .pdf format. This happens when I send mail from my yahoo or aol mail accounts when using Mozilla. It does not occur if I'm using those mail accounts and Internet Explorer.
[email protected] lets you see what an email will look like when printed on a subscriber's Presto printer, which is a printer that is used without a computer, it periodically calls a toll-free number and looks for mail sent to that address. I believe anyone can send mail to [email protected] and will receive a reply back, so you could test tweeks to Mozilla that would resolve the problem. This issue started in September or October of 2010, was resolved by Presto at that time, but has not been resolved with the 4.0.1 version.

MS offers some advanced features only for its own IE browser and not for other browsers like Firefox.

E-mail program won't open PDF attachments automatically with Adobe Reader

When I get e-mail with PDF attachment I get a message saying I must open only from trustworthy source. Then I click it open, but it won't open. So I click save, and it is saved to desktop where I can then open it with Adobe Reader. I prefer that Outlook automatically opens it with Adobe Reader when I click it just once. I have updated Adobe Reader from 9.0 to 9.3.2, and it still won't work,

I have had the exact same problem, i use windows mail because my computer was unable to run outlook for a reason i can't remember and this is dead-set exactly the process i go through constantly. I have unistalled/reinstalled adobe multiple times.

Windows 8 MAIL client renames G-Mail PDF attachments filename and extension to PDF????

Hi PPL,
I have the Windows 8 MAIL client configured to get G-Mail based on an imap configuration.
When opening gmail.com in Internet Explorer and looking at a specific email I do see 2 attachments for example with name: "Mail Attachement1.PDF" & "Mail Attachement2.PDF" In the browser I can open the attachment as pdf files.
When opening the mail in the Windows 8 MAIL client the attachment are renamed to:
ATT000442.ext & ATT000445.ext
I can't find what is causing this, please help!!
Regards,
Arjan

same issue....
Do a Network capture of the HTTP message flow. E.g. use Fiddler4 in order to get its Enable Local Loopback utility
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fiddler/archive/2011/12/10/fiddler-windows-8-apps-enable-loopback-network-isolation-exemption.aspx
Most likely you will find that a Content-type header is what is causing your symptom. Then you could ask the administrator of the server to change that to make sure that it looks like .pdf and not what you are getting. Note that Fiddler would
allow you to create your own override to test whatever change you would like to be implemented.

Mail PDF attachments hide typing in emails

Has anyone come across a bug in mail whereby when you type out an email and add an attachment the attachment just plonks itself on the page and covers over the words of the email you have typed. It also appears like this in the sent items. Quitting mail and restarting does not correct the issue however the email appears fine in the sent box on other divices.... Just another one to add to the shoddy collection of mavericks bugs I guess!
P.s
Is it not about time the board of apple sacked that new bloke and got someone who understands something that made apple - quality over quantity!!

Mail pdf attachments not delivered

Since upgrading to Mavericks, several people on my newsletter distribution have complained that the pdf newsletter attachment did not reach them (using Mac mail and now Mavericks 10.9.5). If I send from my work account (a PC using Outlook and MS Exchange), no problem; if I send from Mac mail as a Word document, no problem. I have checked with my internet provider and there isn't anything in my SMTP settings that is interfering with sending the attachment--most people get it. Attachments are checked for Windows friendly and are appended at the end of the email. Any suggestions?

Then the problem isn't at your end. For bulk mailing, I suggest you use a hosted service such as "MailChimp," which is free up to a certain number of recipients.

Print Mail Message attachments as an icon

Under Mountain Lion, I was able to permanently tweak Mail, so that all Attachments I received showed as icons, and when I printed the message, the attachment showed as an icon.
Under Mavericks, I can right click an attachment, so that it shows on screen as an icon, but when I print the message, it prints the full attachment, which I don’t want.
How can I print a message, with the attachment printing as an icon?

Help - No-one has any suggestions!
Can anyone help with this, please?

Mac OS mail (PDF) attachments cannot be read after upgrading to Maverick
