Thunderbird sending pdf attachment problem – 'empty file' from mac to mac & PC

OSX 10.9.5 with TB 31.6
This problem has just started happening when sending PDFs to clients at different location who are using a mixture of email systems on Mac and PCs (different PDFs over the last week to differetent people but not everyone). The file arrives but it says 'empty file'. I have tried sending the same PDF though gmail and that arrives with no problem.
I can see this is a reoccuring problem with older TB releases but there doesn't seem to be a solution.
Can anyone help?
best
Martin

I've now asked 2 people who have received PDFs either as "message saying that they are corrupted" ...
"Hi Martin. Many thanks - the files sent via MailBigFile have all opened up OK. I deliberately use a Mac to try and avoid viruses! No one else in the
factory could open them either. Kind regards, Nicky."
and
"I haven’t got anti-virus software. The third one you sent was openable (the one from from gmail). – Tim" ... this one said "empty file" also on a Mac.

  • I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

    I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac.  PC to PC is fine.  Nothing but problems with the Mac.  One example:
    While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac.  I click on paste to move the files.  I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started.  Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  Close the folder or file and try again..
    Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac.  I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files.  If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
    So I have one file to move, no problem.  If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once.  All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace.  Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file.  That file will then show something other than 0kb.  When it is done, the error process starts all over.  I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

    Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
    Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

    Ok now I get your requirement.
    you cant achieve this -  how one receiver channel can put in two location if you dont have a dynamic configuration defined i.e Adapter specific attributes.
    easy way - involve IR mapping
    else
    have a adapter module to define your dynamic configuration.

    Set the dynamic directory/file name etc for your receiver adapter.

  • I am having a problem moving files from a iMac  in location mac in another location.  I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc.  When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

    I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location.  I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias.  When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present".  This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers.  If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there.  Am I forgetting to turn something on or off?  Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

    Hi Suresh,
    I just tried this thing in my systtem and it is working... BADI is trigerred everytime there is a change in the PO... even when you release there is a change in the PO so this BADI will be triggerred....
    I suggest you should implement BADI in your dev system and place a break point in the POST method...
    After that create a PO and release it using ME29N... thereafter when you save the PO... this method will trigger and you will have access to PO details...
    PS: Remember this BADI wont work for transaction ME29...
    Regards

  • Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to Yahoo

  • Can't play audio files from pre-Intel Mac

    I have some audio files from my old PowerPc Mac (around 1998) which I'd dearly like to be able to hear again on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4).
    The files were created by me on the old Mac using the basic sound recording software that came with all Macs. The files are just people speaking.
    I have attached an image of the icon that is associated witho these files now. For some of these files, the properties show the file type as "QuickTime Player.app Document".I tried opening the files using Quicktime Player app, to no avail.
    Other files are shown as being a "Unix Executable file" type.
    I also have other files from the old Mac with this same icon. With those that I know were text files of some kind, I have just simply added .txt at the end of the filename and hey presto, the file is viewable again. I haven't been so lucky with the others.
    I imagine also that its not so simple with these audio files but I wouldn't know what file extension to use as I haven't worked with audio files before.
    Also, is there a way to keep these files in some generic format, to avoid this problem happening again in the future, as technology advances?
    If you can help with this problem, please reply.

    .... on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4)
    There is no such thing as an Intel G5 Mac.

  • Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Moving files from outlook to mac

    I'm switching from a PC to Mac.  How do I move or export email files from outlook to mac.  My email account is IMAP at Gmail.

    Hi Ed,
    If you're using IMAP there's no "export" necessary as all of the emails are stored on the GMail mail servers and just made available to you locally. Now, if you've opted to create local (offline) folders for archiving purposes that's different.
    Regrettably there's no easy to way to move from Outlook into Mail, for free. There's a program you can buy called Outlook2Mac.
    Link -> http://www.littlemachines.com/
    For $13 it's a great program. There are some work arounds but it involves using Thunderbird.
