Scan to e-mail, Multiple PDF email attachments instead of one.

Hi there! My problem is scanning multiple pages to e-mail them. This does not happen to all my jobs, but about 80% of them get scanned and then emailed multiple times. file names sometimes come with pages. For example: the email attachment pdf files would be named: "[Untitled]_1-6.pdf(1 MB), [Untitled]_2-6.pdf(1 MB)" etc..This happens with random pages as well. So if there is a 12 pages document sometimes i would send it to email and the pdf's would be pages 1-2 in one pdf and then page 3 , then page 4-8, then page 9, then 10, then 11-12. Each pdf file would come in a separate email. I really only want to scan however many pages i need to email to someone and have them receive it in One pdf file. It gets very annoying sometimes and I would have to use another program to mend all the pdf files into one pdf using separate software. Can anyone help out with this?

Hi Vamsee,
I have similar requirement. I tried your code by making some corrections, but I am getting error as 'File is damaged' when I tried to open files.
It would be helpful if you paste your code here.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Ram.

Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
Any help with this?

I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7. Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message. I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability. Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

Pdf email attachments won't open

After upgrading to IOS 7 the pdf email attachments are not opening...just says "loading" and never loads.

Hi DVFFTI,
I'm not sure from your description if you're having the same problem I was having.
In my case, PDF attachments would only display as a single image of the first page of the PDF.
The only option I had was to Copy or Save the image. I couldn't open a preview of the full PDF in Mail or tap to 'Open in...' a different app.
Turns out that I had too many apps on my iPhone that can read PDFs, for example, Dropbox, Evernote, iBooks, Kindle, etc. even a Canon app for remote printing.
Removing one of them fixed the issue for me.
I remember this happening before and seeing other threads about this, so I don't think it's specific to iOS 7.
Give it a go and see if it fixes your problem. Hope it helps.

Hey,
.pdf email attachments open in photoshop. How do I get them to open in Reader?

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader.

Opening PDF Email Attachments

My PDF email attachments open in Microsoft Word and can't be read. How can I open PDF attachments in Adobe without first having to do a 'Save As'? I have Adobe on my laptop.

The problem is a file association.
If you are using Verizon's webmail then you need to fix the file association in your web browser.
If you are using an email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.) you need to fix the file association in your computer (varies as to how based on OS and client).

Problem opening Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments

Just got a Motorola Razr. Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments. Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type". Can open jpg files. I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference. Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue. I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue. This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails. My email server / client is Verizon.
I would appreciate any recommendations.

Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time. I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients. I've had similar issues with email on computers.
The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format. It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it.
The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful.

How can I move PDF email attachments into ibooks?

How can I move PDF email attachments into iBooks?

When you tap on the PDF to open it, a curved arrow icon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap that icon and the option to "Open In" appears. Select that option - tap open in - and you can select iBooks from there.

Can I have multiple icloud email addresses. i.e. one for me one for my wife?

You can if you create two iCloud accounts. Each iCloud account is only given a single email account. (You can have additional email alias addresses, but they will still deliver incoming email to the same email account and inbox.)

How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time?

How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time? I have several duplicate items in my library and would like to delete the duplicates. Thanks!

You can select multiple items using shift to select a range and control to add or remove items from it.
Regarding duplciates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

HP 8600 scan to yahoo mail as .pdf gives error but opens in gmail outlook

I have scan opening problem with HP 8600. I can open any .pdf with no problem. I have Win 7 and current Adobe. But anything scanned by HP 8600 to yahoo mail gives...it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...
When I scan to both gmail and yahoo, gmail opens with no problem but the yahoo mail gives the error message above. I have tried on numberous PCs and with at least 3 different yahoo users. To make this even more puzzling, I can forward the same email with attachment from gmail to yahoo and the attachment will now open, but the scan sent directly to yahoo mail still will not open.. looking for answers, not work arounds. I have already reinstall the printer.
I can also forward the yahoo mail .pdf attachment that will not open to gmail and it opens!

Why can I not open PDF email attachments?

Normally on my iPhone I'm able to simply click on the PDF attachment at the bottom of an email and it opens for me to read but I just got an iPad and it doesn't seem to do that. When I click attachments in my email nothing happens. But for instance when I try to open attachments I have saved in Dropbox they open perfectly fine.

Well something has changed since IOS came out. I can't open email attachments anymore in all apps.
Up until say 3 weeks ago I would tap on an email attachment (a PDF) and a menu of apps would appear. Normally I would choose Goodreader or iBooks to open the PDF. No problems. My iPad2 would switch to the app and open the PDF.
Now that IOS 6 is out when you touch the email attachment icons appear. Goodreader and iBook show up. But when i touch either one of these icons nothing happens. It won't switch to the app and open the PDF anymore.
Two other things. I do have other apps that appear such as PDFSplicer. If i choose it the iPad2 switches to that app and opens the PDF. It's only Goodreader and iBook that won't work anymore.
second, I went to my local Apple store and talked to the guys at the genius bar. I demonstrated the problem to them. They said it looks like a bug and suggested I send a bug report to apple. Never heard back from them.
Any ideas?

Problem opening PDF email attachments

How do I get email attachments to open as PDF files in Adobe Reader instead of Photoshop Element?

In windows explorer, right-click a closed PDF file’s icon and select “Open with”→ Adobe Reader from the pop-up menu. Turn on the “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” checkbox to set Reader to open all PDF files.

Adobe 2.0 Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

Hi. I am using WM5 on an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125). I installed Adobe 2.0 for viewing PDF's and it works great. The only problem I have is that I get an error every time I try to view a pdf that is an email attachment.
When I open an email with a pdf attachment, I tap the attachment and Adobe 2.0 starts up. I then get the following errors:
"The file is damaged, but is being repaired"
"There was an errror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
If I try to save the pdf attachment and then view it I get the same two errors listed above.
If I copy the pfd attachment from my PC to the device I can open it, but I suspect that is because some type of file conversion has taken place.
Should I be able to view pdf attachments on my device using adobe 2.0 or will the pdf attachments always need some type of coverting before I can view them on my device?
Adobe 2.0 works great, but so far I am unable to view pfd email attachments.
Thanks for the help.
Rob

>>> The .pdf must be transferred from a PC into the mobile device folder and conversion must take place in order to view the file on the mobile device. <<
There are likely a number of ways which will render pdf's non viewable on ppcs... some thoughts on this specific issue;
The activesync "plugin" is a "tagger" subject to failure... if the file can't be directly opened from the file menu of ppc reader, it is likely another problem.
ppc reader is acrobat 5... most pdf's are created with "backward compatibility" but it's also possible that the original generator specified acrobat 6 or 7
The "file associations" are often wrong with respect to pdf files... attachments apparently have another level of file association, so, before making any conclusion, save the file to the "My Documents" folder, start reader and open the file using the ppc reader's file menu.
>>> it would be nice if Adobe and Microsoft could put their heads together to straighten this out. <<
Remember something said long ago about "when pigs fly" ;-) ...we are on our own as there is zero evidence that anyone from adobe even reads these posts, and then you have to couple that with the fact that reader users are not adobe's customers... they have almost zero incentive to address ppc reader problems... wanna do something about it... get a major full acrobat user to complain to adobe that their pdfs are not really ppc readable.

PDF Email attachments

In Microsoft Outlook my PDF attachments used to automatically open in Adobe. Someone has changed my settings and now all PFD files try to open in Microsoft Word. How do I change it back so Adobe is the default?

you need to change the file association...you can do this by right clicking on a pdf and from the fly-out menu choose Open With on that screen go to the bottom and click on Choose Program and choose Reader. This should reassociate the opening of pdfs with Reader instead of Word.
Good Luck!

Opening pdf email attachments [was yogi baba]

whenever i try to open a attachment in adobe reader a box pops up and asks for a pdf password. What is this pop up and what password is it asking for.
Message subject line was edited by host

Any PDF? How about this one, for example: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?
If not, then your attachment PDFs are password protected; you need to aks the sender for the password.
