Some pdf attachments missing in mail 5.2

I fail to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion).  When the attachments do not arrive, I see no paperclip in the attachments column.  On a recent occasion, a colleague sent me three consecutive emails, each with 1-2 pdf files attached.  The middle one (containing one pdf), shows no attachment in Mail.  However, I know the attachment is there, because if I open it on my iPhone, I see the attachment.  What's more, if I forward the email to myself from the iPhone, I can now see the attachment again.  This has happened several times in the past as well.  Any ideas?

I have the same problem, failing to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion), and not being counted among the attachments
Two times where I'm aware it happened, the sender had replied and included the attachments I had sent in my original message, and I'm wondering if those attachments somehow led to their own attachments not displaying and not even being counted in the e-mail window.  "3 Attachments, 317 KB" displayed, but those were my three; clicking the "Save" drop-down menu listed only those 3 attachments of mine.  In one case, I had them resend their attachments as a new e-mail, and that worked.  Their 2 attachments totalled 941 KB, so Mail missed rather a lot by displaying just 317 KB.

  • Some Aperture Previews Missing in Mail Chooser

    I am running Aperture 3.2.3 with the current version of Lion. Tonight I wanted to e-mail some pictures via the Mail app. In the photo chooser in the Mail app, however, not all of the Aperture previews show up. For the particular project from which I wanted choose the pictures to send, some, but not all previews appear in the chooser. The missing previews were neither the first, nor the last, pictures added to the project. In Aperture preferences, "always" share with iLife and iWork is checked. Any idea why some pictures, but not all, would show up in the mail photo chooser?

  • After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF  files missed . how should restore them

    After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF  files missed . how should restore them?

    Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

  • Pdf attachments to windows mail won't open correctly

    pdf attachments to emails won't open. I'm using Vista Ultimate 64. The attachments want to open in system 32, and error message says to "set associations." Set asociations is already set to reader 9.1 (which I just updated to 9.2 in an attempt to get it to work). It shouldn't make a difference whether the document was created on a 32 bit or 64 bit computer. I tried saving the attachment but something converted it to a .doc format. When I tried to open it I got pages full of code (in WordPad) not a formatted page.  Current documents saved in pdf open as they should as long as I open them from the document file. I don't know whether it is windows, windows mail or some other program that is responsible for this. Documents downloaded from websites work fine. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? How do you fix it?

  • UNABLE TO OPEN PDF ATTACHMENTS IN E-MAIL

    Over the past week,I have been unable to open PDF attachments in my AOL webmail.  I encounter no problems with my Outlook Express e-mail.  Why is this suddenly happening and how can I correct the problem?

    To make sure that Adobe Reader is default,
    goto Edit->Preferences->Select default PDF Handler. Check the value in the dropdown list "Select Adobe product". If the first value which appears is 'Adobe ReaderX', then Reader X is the default PDF Handler.
    Also please let me know the OS you are using.
    Is the problem also faced in AOL webmail with any other Adobe Product(like Acrobat X, Reader 9 etc.) if you are using/used any of them?
    Thanks,
    Shakti

  • Some PDF attachments are corrupted when emailed using javamail

    I have a java class that takes a file name, 'To' email, and 'From' email as parameters, and then emails the named file to the specified address as a Multipart email.
    The problem that I am facing is that sometimes the PDF cannot be opened when it arrives because it is corrupt. I know that prior to sending, the PDF opens without issue, so the problem is in the code somewhere.
    There are a couple of oddities here:
    1) PDFs that get corrupted and PDFs that do not get corrupted are generated from the same source (Oracle Report), so I believe that rules out a problem with malformed emails?
    2) If I compare the PDF before it gets sent to the PDF that arrives in my inbox using a hex editor (XVI32), the files are identical except that an extra character is getting added to the corrupt PDFs at the end of each line - hex '0A', which corresponds to ASCII linefeed. This indicates to me that maybe there is a problem with the way that the file is getting encoded when it is read. If I remove all of the 0A characters, the file opens correctly.
    I believe that the code I am using is set up correctly, as I have looked at countless examples of this online to try to find my problem. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Code is included below.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Normally pdf files are text, with any binary data represented as encoded text. If your pdf files
    include raw binary data, JavaMail can be confused. JavaMail will try to guess what encoding
    is appropriate for your data. If the data is mostly text, JavaMail will use quoted-printable encoding,
    and will canonicalize the text lines to end with CRLF (0x0D, 0x0A). A 0x0D in the binary will look
    like an end of line and will turn into 0x0D, 0x0A.
    You can force JavaMail to use base64 encoding for your data, which will preserve the binary
    data exactly, by using
    attachFilePart.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");
    after setting the content for the part.
    Alternatively, you could figure out how to generate pdf files that don't include raw binary data.

  • Attachments missing in mail.app

    I have noticed the following problem with an imap account:
    I am looking at a message that has an attachment but the attachment is not shown in mail.app. In its place there is a generic graphic with a question mark. I right-click, choose "Download Image" but nothing happens. When I log onto may email account using a web browser and check the same message, the attachment is there (a bmp graphic, in this particular case). This doesn't happen with all messages that have attachments but I've noticed it at least twice in the past couple weeks (and perhaps more often, but I generally ignore attachments).
    Themis

    I have the same problem: I use Mail with an imap server (in fact, exchange), and after upgrading to snow leopard quite often messages in Mail don't show the attachment; I DID figure out that if I rebuild the mailbox, as also suggested by others, the missing attachment is no longer missing and I can download it; rebuilding the mailbox is not such a problem, but, still, this is an irritating behavior; interestingly enough, if I check my mail on my iPod Touch, attachments are always there, but when I check it again on my macbook pro or mac pro they don't appear any longer

  • Why do PDF attachments open in Mail

    When I add a PDF as an attachment in Mail  it opens the first page and the other pages do not show.
    This only happens after installing Maverick OS10.9. I had previously used Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this was never a problem.
    Do I have to reset something in Mail ?

    If you tap and hold the the PDF that renders in your email - you will get the pop up.  Just tap the middle of the PDF and hold your finger there until the pop-up comes up.

  • PDF attachments opening in mail messages

    Hello when I send a pdf file as an attachment in a mail message, the file opens. I'd like to send the file as an icon/attachment and not display the contents of the file. How do I do this. Thank you very much.

    I thought I did:
    But just to be sure, I propagated permissions to all enclosed, but that did not seem to change anything.
    Maybe this is one of those "just because".

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
