Scandinavian characters in email attachment

Hi,
I have a send-email process, where I add an attachment. The attachment is a csv file, which is converted to blob. The problem is that when the email is sent and the file is opened in excel, the scandinavian chars are not shown correctly. In notepad they are correct. How could I fix this ?
Tiina

Hello Tiina,
If you can read characters fine in Notepad but not in MS Excel, the issue is in Excel. In this case, MS Excel is not able to detect "character encoding" and it's using it's own default charset encoding to display data.
See encoding - Microsoft Excel mangles Diacritics in .csv files? - Stack Overflow
For this, you just need to add BOM (Byte Order Mark) at beginning of file. For sample PL/SQL refer PL/SQL Web Toolkit to create downloadable UTF-8 with BOM document with Chinese content Way&#039;s Blog
Hope it helps.

Hari

CSV email attachment and spaces

Hello everyone,
I have been working on making an email attachment in CSV for a client. I have created the file dynamically in a string table. Though, because it is done dynamically, my string table has sometimes, as a fictive example, something like this
First line has 63 characters,
Second line has 225 characters
Third line has 182 characters, etc
Often, a group of three lines has to be put on one line in the CSV and I added a control return character that works just fine so my problem is not there.
My problem is the fact that I have lot of blanks in my files when I wouldn't want it to be... Taking the same example:
First line has 192 blanks,
Second line has 30 blanks
Third line has 73 blanks, etc.
In fact, I have always 255 - X characters = Y Blanks. I understand a string is 255 characters so it's not a question for me to know why 255.
My question though is this: Is there a way to prevent those blanks to be put in the CSV file? Because I have huge gaps and I know it would mess up the data inserted in it.
As a complement of informations, I use Module Function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to create the email with attachment and my CSV is not open by Excel (who places the field correctly) but via notepad to show the data to its raw values. All those gaps need to be removed.
Thank you very much for your help
Don't hesitate if you need more infos.
EDIT: Oh and I tried with CONDENSE WITH NO-GAPS but it's not working either.

Hi Sylvain,
Can you check for any special characters in your data. Special characters like ',",!,# do behave in an unwanted way and create problems. Check for the special characters from the point of start of spaces to the next character where the spaces end.

Removing extra spaces from email attachment of text file

Hi All,
I am having a question in opening email attachment file in text mode.
Whenever I am trying to open a CSV file in text mode after each row it adds blank spaces. These blank spaces are to complete the 255 characters on each row I guess.
My client doesn't want these space. So can anybody tell how to remove those spaces?
<removed by moderator> response would be helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Nishad

Hi,
There is no solution for this as u know that the data which you r sending in csv its actually getting populated from an internal table.
You cannot make your internel table dynamic for this requirment.
It should have a fixed length. Now if the data is less then also the length.
So u have identified correct that because of 255 the blank space is population, nothing is in your hand.
U have to convince the client, to make them understand where is the limitation.
Thanks & Regards

Mail and email attachement : .pdf - .pdfpdf or .doc - .docc

Hello,
I have been using Mail since I bought my Mac but I have a recurrent problem.
When I send a Mail with email attachement, it duplicates the extension. For instance : .doc become .docc, or .pdf become .pdfpdf.
I tried some manipulations such as : Check or not : "Mask File Extension" in "File Information", and :"Send email attachement Windows compatible" in Mail : the results are the same.
The last straw ? When I try with Gmail or Orange in Safari, the attachements work well and my contacts can read them.
I don't understand.
I will appreciate any answer.
Thanks
(Sorry for my English )

Are you sure it is Mail sending them wrong and not their email client mangling them when they arrive?
It is apparently Mail's fault. It has to do with sending attachments with accented characters. While this a poor workaround for you, don't use accented characters in attachment names until Apple fixes it. Or add a message to your email to save the attachment and fix the extension. If they do that, it will open just fine.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).

I have an email attachment that I would like to be able to access when NOTconnected. I found one suggestion that I should open the attachemtn iniBooks and save it there. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

I am trying to store an email attachment (an Excel spreadsheet) somewhere on my iPhone 5 to be able to access it easily in the future. I do not need the ability to work on it, just to access it, although it would be convenient if i could load updated versions over it on a regular basis. The spreadsheet was created in Excel on a laptop with Win 7. I read one posting that said I should save the document to iBooks and then could open it whenever I wanted. The same posting refered to something in the upper right corner of the attachment that enabled me to save it to iBooks. Unfortunately, there is no such option showing when I looked at the file, which I did email to myself. I was able to open the attachment, but can't get beyond this point. My tech ability doesn't go much beyond being able to power up my phone, so I need a really simple solution, if one exists.

First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook. (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options. In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2. There are a few free apps that can use to view. I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too. Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me.

Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.

How to convert a workbook into PDF and broadcast as Email attachment

Hello Gurus,
i have installed the ADS (Adobe Document services). I would like to broadcast workbooks as a pdf file to some user.
When i open the workbook and go to Broadcast --> Setup a broadcast setting for this workbook. The distribution type is
Broadcast E-mail; Broadcast E-mail (Bursting); Broadcast Portal; Broadcast Multichannel and Output Format only MS Workbook and Link to current Data. Here i miss the possibility as PDF.
Where can i set up that the workbook should be broadcast as PDF.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks and kind rgerads,
Murat

Thanks all for your answers,
i also read that with changing the format in Report designer then broadcasting via PDF. Is there no possibility for PDFs for MS Excel Workbooks? How does it work when opening the query in Report designer? What do i have to do there but it is no solution for us because in the workbooks we use GET BEX DATA formulas and just show parts of the analyisis grid. I need a proper solution how to use broadcaster converting workbooks into PDF an send them as email attachment
Thanks,
Murat
