Unable to send PDF to iPhoto

I am unable to send a PDF to iPhoto. After going through the print menu, a window comes up asking which album I wish to send the file to. Once I selected "photos"; another time I selected the option for a creating new album that I called "PDF album". A "PDF album" appeared in the source list in iPhoto. Each time the result was the same: the file is nowhere to be found in iPhoto. At the top of the screen in the menu bar, there appeared a very brief message, "workflow failed". From what I can see, the part of the process that is not working is "import photos into iPhoto".
Is there any to fix this?

I have had this computer for over 4 years, and this is the first time I have ever tried to use this option (Print>PDF>Save PDF to iPhoto). I have no idea if this ever worked.
I am able to import photos from my camera and JPEG files from the desktop. iPhoto is not able to import PDF's directly, requiring the need for a workflow. The one in question is found in PDF services. It consists of 2 actions. The first renders PDF files as JPEG's; the second then imports these images into iPhoto.
Here is how they are described in the Automator:
1. _Render PDF Pages as Images_: This action will render each page of the passed PDF files as images.
2. _Import Photos into iPhoto_: This action imports photos into an iPhoto album.
Input: (Image files) of type JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg), JPEG2 (.jp2), TIFF (.tif or .tiff), or QuickTime (.qtif).
Result: (iPhoto photos)
This is the error message that I received multiple times: can't make iPhoto <class impo> type Boolean (-1700)
The error message doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to copy it; I have had to repeat the process several times to get the essential information.
Could the problem be that the files are not being properly rendered, hence iPhoto's inability to import them?
Are there any remedies?

Unable to send PDFs as email attachments

I have become unable to send PDFs as email attachments when using Firefox.
Depending on the PDF, I either get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” or it opens as a blank document. This occus when opening the file with both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro. The problem seems to be isolated to PDFs. (I am able to send Word files. If a PDF is zipped before attaching, it can be opened without problem.) This occurs on both an institutional email account and personal (Yahoo) email account. This problem is isolated to Firefox (does not happen in Chrome).
I have reset Firefox to default settings, as well as reinstalling.
Thank you.

Update Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 to version 11.
Also please update all of your plugins and try again.
Does this happen when you open the pdf in pdf.js, it is possible to change the default viewer by:

Using broadcaster unable to send pdf

hi,
i have a problem in sending a query as a mail using broadcaster in pdf format.
i am able to send 'current data as a link' ' html' 'mhtml' but unable to send pdf.
i was able to do it before. i dont know what changes happened.
i also saw the config in scot. server name is given properly and also i am able to send link as a mail .
can any one tell what is the problem?
did anyone face this befroe
error which i am getting is
Error: com.sap.ip.bi.base.exception.BIBaseRuntimeException

We are experiencing a similar issue, but unlike the one reported above our ADS server is fine. Our issue is slightly different in that we don't even get an option to send by pdf. However this is working fine in Development and Test but not in Production.
We only have the options for Brodcast E-mail and Broadcast to the Portal with both having the same optons of HTML MHTML and online link to current data, but no option to select pdf.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks

I am unable to send photos from iphoto via email as an attachment to be downloaded onto another computer. i thought e-mail would automatically pick up these photos if mailed out so they could be downloaded.

At one time I was able to send photos from i photo library and I assumed the receiver could open these and download them into their apple computer (family).
I have tried to send photos from library or folder as attachment but I am also unable to do this. How do I send pictures as e-mail attachments which can be opened up and downloaded to another computer?

I've managed to sort out my own problem!! Shall write it down in case there are others out there who have a similar problem. With iPhoto open, click on iPhoto on the top menu bar. Click on preferences. Then click on account. This let me change the details such as the user name and password. Luckily I played around with a couple of my usual passwords, and found one that worked. Have now written it down!!!!

I am unable to send pdf files as an attachment using Adobe Send.

Adobe Send opens Entourage for my email which I no longer use and is in fact defunct, consequently I keep getting "Error" message from Adobe.
I want Adobe Send to use Outlook but cannot find how I can make Adobe Send choose Outlook instead of Entourage.
Please assist.

I don't know if this is any help I have had a problem where the pdf files were not opening correctly which I think was the problem here. I spent hours of head scratching and have now found out what the problem is. Right click on the Adobe Reader Icon on the desktop. Select properties and then the compatibility tab. You will see the uppermost section in this screen is Compatibility mode. I have Windows 7 and mine was set to Windows XP. I changed that to Windows 7 and now the problem is resolved. In short use the above instructions to check you are using the right compatibility mode for the version of Windows you are using and your troubles should be over!!

UNABLE TO SEND PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO VIA EMAIL

I have OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3, and IPhoto 11. Until recently I have been able to share pictures via email directly from IPhoto. All of a sudden I get the error message "username and password not recognized." I have Verizon FIOS. I tried all of the suggestions in previous discussion and none seem to work. I tried changing the ports suggested. deleting and reentering all the pertinent data, checking and unchecking SSL The port on my email account is 110 and on IPhoto it is 587. I tried matching them but nothing seems to work. The user name and password have not changed and I know them. I have doubled check everything I can think of. I think it worked fine before IPhoto 11. It has just changed all of a sudden. I am really flabbergasted. Please help.

Since you've tried all the fixes already what's left is to set Mail as your email client in iPhoto's General preference pane and use it. If you want fancy layouts you can use the photo stationary layouts that are available in Mail:
Using Mail as your client will also give you a Sent copy.

How to send pdf attachment through BPEL

Hi All,
I have been looking for a solution to send a pdf as an attachment in bpel. My requirement is,
- Send a SOAP request to 'SendAttachment' bpel service with all the input parameters
- SendAttachment bpel service validates the input and generates the pdf within the bpel process
- SendAttachment bpel has to return the generated pdf as attachment along with response payload.
I did some research but couldn't a relevant scenario. I have no idea about how to start with. Experts, please suggest on how to implement this scenario.
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Dear Ravi,
I tried to build a small application to handle the above mentioned scenario. But I am unable to send pdf as attachment in BPEL. Below are the details,
1) Created a standalone weblogic webservice(instead of ejb as you mentioned) - 'GetAttachmentService' in eclipse that will create a pdf and send it along with the xml response.
2) In GetAttachmentService, created pdf is converted into byte[] and mapped to a 'base64Binary' element in 'GetAttachmentResponse'.
3) Tested the above webservice successfully using SOAP UI. I am able to see the binary data as one of the elements in GetAttachmentResponse.
4) Now, I have created a composite in SOA suite that will have a webservice adapter(to consume GetAttachmentService) and a BPEL process - 'SendAttachmentBPEL' to read the response elements.
5) SendAttachmentBPEL response has a 'base64Binary' element to hold the binary data from GetAttachmentService response.
6) Modified the SendAttachmentBPEL wsdl to accomodate mime content as below.
7) Since there is mime part in wsdl, EM didn't allow me to test there. So I have used SOAP UI to test SendAttachmentBPEL, I am getting the pdf as binary data in one of the response elements rather as attachment. Please take a look at the below BPEL snippet and suggest if any changes are required.
My objective is when I hit the SendAttachmentBPEL in SOAP UI, I should get back a response along with pdf attachment.

Use of PDFs in iPhoto layouts

I've been intrigued by some of the discussion about creating properly designed pages in Apple's Pages, Adobe's InDesign, etc, and then saving them as PDFs, opening them up in Photoshop, saving the pages as JPEGS, and then importing the whole thing into an Aperture (or iPhoto) page. Before I spend any money on this, I'd like to know what kind of loss one might experience in terms of both the type quality and image quality by going this route. Anyone have any experience along these lines? Thank you.

Dan:
You really don't have to use Photoshop in the process of getting a PDF file of a page into iPhoto. Just do a print to pdf of the page you want to use and select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. A 1600 x 1200 pixel jpg of that page will be created and imported into iPhoto. You can use Automator to edit that workflow to increase the dpi to 300 dip creating a 3300 x 2500 pixel jpg version. The workflow you would want to edit is located in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Adobe acrobat error - unable to send mail

I`m using Win 7 pro 64bit with acrobat 9.0 pro 32 bit.
I am now unable to send .PDF`s from either the toolbar or from the File, attach mail.
The system says Ädobe acrobat error - unable to send mail"
Any hep would be appreciated.
Many thanks

I don't remember much of Acrobat 9...
What email client are you using? Are the Acrobat preferences configured to use that email client? Is it running when you try to send that document?

Pdf into iphoto

I am trying to upload photos into iphoto for a slideshow. Somebody scanned some photos for me and the files had weird extensions like "marilyn.pdf.pdf". I can't get them to load into iphoto.
Thanks

Open them in preview (in your applications folder) - you may need to delete the extra ".PDF" - and print using the PDF option and selecting the send PDF to iPhoto command

Sending photos via iphoto

I am unable to send photos via Iphoto. I get a message to check outgoing mail settings. I am not sure what the outgoing mail settings should be.
outgoing mail servier : smtpme.com, port is 587, should the box at the bottom be checked or unchecked? I have tried it both ways and it still doesnt resolve
the issue.

I have it checked and it works for me. Delete that account and then add it back anew. See if that will do the job. The server address and port are the same that I have setup for my iCloud account.
You can alway set Mail as the emali client of choice so you can get more features, i.e. copies of sent messages, more templates under Stationary, etc.

Unable to send document via Preview

Recently, I have been unable to send pdf's that I have edited in Preview. I keep getting message The "New Email with attachment" service could not be used.
Any help with be appreciated. Thanks.

I also used to be able to easily attach a pdf that I was viewing in Preview by simply selecting the "Mail Selected PDF Document", so I know that something bigger must be broken in my Mac.

I'm unable to email PDF attachments, this has started in the last 2 weeks - any clues why as other file types are sending?

Greetings,
That is rather strange. Attachments are attachments. The big difference between what will send and what won't is usually either who you are sending it to (wrong email address) or how big the attachment is (most email providers have a limit to the total message size between 10 MB and 20 MB).
-- What happens when you say you are "unable to email PDF attachments"? What error message do you get?
-- Are you sending these emails using the Mail program?
-- What is the file size of the PDF you are trying to send?
-- What happens if you compress the PDF before you email it (Highlight the PDF on the desktop and then go to File > Compress) ?
-- What happens if you send the PDF to yourself?
Cheers.

The best PDF choice for sending pages to iPhoto?

For years I used InDesign (CS3) to design pages for iPhoto books. I simply used the "Save as PDF for iPhoto" choice in the InDesign print dialog box and, presto, the pages appeared in my iPhoto library, ready for insertion. However, when I switched to Snow Leopard, new security features disabled the PDF choices in the InDesign print dialog box. Adobe's workaround is to export the InDesign page as a PDF to the desktop, open the PDF up using Apple's Preview, and send the PDF to iPhoto from there. Works like a charm. However, when I export the page out of InDesign to the desktop, the Export Adobe PDF dialog box offers me several choices of PDF presets and here is where I get confused. The best two choices appear to be "High Quality Print" (supposedly for desktop inkjet printers) or "Press Quality." When I compare them on the screen, the "HIgh Quality Print" PDF looks superior--my black and white images have snappier contrast and rich whites and blacks. However, the "Press Quality" PDF, while flatter, retains more information in the shadows and highlights and, who knows, maybe Apple's printing presses favor this for a superior outcome. Anyway, calls to Apple yielded contradictory recommendations. Anyone have any experience or insight as to which PDF setting would be best? Thank you.

I use goodreader, which is fairly good, and alows for folder creation.
In my quick, unscientific test, just now with a 60+ page pdf with lots of graphics in it, if you spend more than a second or two on a single page, the next one displays right away. If you try to swipe through a bunch in a row, really fast, you get the checkerboard pattern until the new page loads.
AS you are looking at sheet music, this would work as you would definately be staying on a single page for a 1/2 minute or more (dpeending on the tempo of course).
I would still google for sheet music apps that might be more of what your looking for. A coworker (thats left for the weekend already) has sheet music on his ipad and I can ask on Monday what he prefers.
Till then
Jason
