Single page PDF file in mail always appears in message body, instead of as an attachment, contrary to a multiple page PDF. Why?

When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?

Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article. 
Mac OS X Mail: About PDF attachments
Have a great day,

  • Cannot forward one page PDF files from mail app

    My earlier topic had incorrect problem report so I've created a new topic.
    The problem is i cannot forward one page PDF file from mail apps. I use imap set up for my work email.
    Multi page PDFs, photos, docs, numbers, all forward OK for both windows and Mac formats.

    Update: I hade had a reply from the Good Reader app developer saying this is a known issue even for them. However, they don't know if Apple will fix this or not.
    Basically mail app treats all one page PDF as if it's an image and will forward it the same as it would an image. Any non-apple based mail programs will have issues viewing this file..

  • PDF files in Mail

    For a while now I have been having trouble with pdf files in Mail. Sometimes I cannot even open them as they appear as a little black dot. The trouble came to a head recently when one of the pdf files I work with for some reason opened up without one of the pages it should have had. This file opens fine on the other iMac we have that is running Tiger and when that iMac saves the file then I can open it just fine as well. But when I save it the page is missing on both mine and the other. Please help... my job is at stake! And I am not exaggerating

    What kind of computer and email program is sending it to you? If these are multi-page PDFs, they could show up in the body of the message, rather than as a separate attachment. If they do, you should be able to simply drag the file from the body onto your Desktop, and then you can open it with Preview or Acrobat Reader.
    Are you able to do this, and what happens when you drag the PDF into an open Safari window?

  • Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

    I have an iPad 2. I need to send pdf files from Quickoffice to my school's copy center for duplication to distribute to my students. When I click on choose files at the SUNY's copy center, I am only able to access Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

    Perhaps I am not clearly stating my problem. I always used my desktop or laptop to send files that were handouts to the copy center since I do not use a textbook for one English class. Both crashed within a two-day span so until I can get one fixed, I am hoping to use the iPad. I have all my files saved as PDF files in my email. I have added the Quickoffice app and transferred next week files from school email to Quickoffice. When I access SUNY's website to send my files to be copied and click on choose file, all that is there are photos. If there is not a central location in iOS, then how would I manually sync the files in Quickoffice to whatever is allowing the photo files to appear?

  • Attaching multipage .pdf file in Mail

    How do I attach a multipage .pdf file in Mail?  I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a MacBook Pro.  When I try to attach only the frst page attaches.

    Are you sure?
    When you add the multi-page attachment to your email only the first page shows. If you click on that first page to select it and then right click and choose Quick Look Attachemnt you should be able to see that all pages are there.

  • I can not open PDF files in mail on iPhone 6plus

    hhas anyone had a problem opening PDF files in mail.  I get a grey screen

    Try a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check again.

  • Can't view PDF files in Mail

    After the 10.5 upgrade I can no longer view PDFs in Mail. Not sure if this is also due to the install of Adobe CS3, however now PDFs just show as a "mime-attachment" which do not display in any other app. Other 10.5.1 users can view these email attachments just fine.
    Is there a way to re-enable PDF files in Mail.app, so that mails with PDF files are displaying within mail.app correctly?

    Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view.  In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download.  This is for all PDF files in gmail.

  • Mountain Lion not opening pdf files in Mail

    Since installing ML I cannot open pdf files in Mail. I have updated Adobe Reader to the latest version, but no joy. I desperately need to open these files. Should I just give up and forward them to my wheezy old Sony running Windows XP?

    Also having this issue and it's a bit of a headache especially when removing Acrobat reader is not an option, i prefer to actually have my PDF files open from Mail in Acrobat Professional (not reader). Tried re-installing, no dice.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • Why does Mail always classify AOL messages as junk?

    Hello everyone,
    Has anyone encountered the strange anomaly of Mail always dropping any message from an AOL user in the junk folder? This happens even if the sender is in my address book. I've even set up a rule to move any AOL mail into my inbox, but it's made no difference.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    I am experiencing the same problem with AOL recently. I just discovered this a couple of weeks ago. AOL doesn't come through. Now I am finding today some of the other e-mails from people in my directory are also not coming through. The junk filter is set to leave e-mails in the inbox. Any thoughts?
