Using Preview: how can I see an attachment inside a pdf-file?

Hello,
I received a pdf-file which contains an xls-file as an attachment.
Using preview I cannot see the excel file. Only in Acrobat it shows the attachment and I can then select it and open in Excel.
Any idea if that is also possible using preview?
Thanks from Germany

Preview can destroy a PDF file without even trying.

Just don't use Preview to view or attempt to interact with PDF files.

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

    There are a number of third party solutions for this.  I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

  • How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    Hi,
    Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
    This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
    Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.

    How do I play audio books in my car using USB cord?
    Does the sound system on your car have a usb input? If so connect your iPhone to the radio with your cable and play the audio book on your phone. Note that your vehicle needs to be able to accept audio input through thr USB port and not just provide a charging circuit. Check your vehicle's manual if you are not sure.

  • How to link to a page inside a PDF file?

    PDF users,
    I can link to a PDF file from a web page, for example, with the <a href> tag. Is there a way to link to somewhere inside the PDF file, for example to a page number or a heading title?
    Yours,

    Hi,
    I lost track of this note but I need to revisit the nameddest option.  I can get the page option to work but would like to link to chapter headings to avoid having to adjust the page options whenever the page count changes.
    I am using Acrobat XI and generate PDF bookmarks from Framemaker 12. The file opens with the bookmark panel to the left and content to the right. I don't see the Named Destination panel that you mentioned. On the left there are icons for page thumbnails, bookmarks, attachments, and signatures.
    I display the bookmarks panel and adjust the content of the bookmark labels as needed. With the right click menu, I use Set Destination to adjust the part of the page that displays at the top of the panel.
    Now could you tell me exactly how this nameddest option works?
    For example, I have a PDF file with "2: Introduction": as the bookmark that opens to the first page of chapter 2, which is on page 21.  The link in the web page is:
    <p>For an introduction, refer to <a href="docs/93-0967-0.pdf" target="_blank">chapter 2</a>
    What do I need to do to make the link go to that chapter?
    Yours,

  • How can I see the "attachment" icon in my inbox viewing screen?

    All I want is to see which emails in my Inbox have attachments included in them. However, there is no icon in the Inbox viewing screen. I can only see it after I've opened email. Does anyone have any advice on what customization I can use for this problem?
    Thanks!

    bhtrout,
    Try going to the menu bar in Mail, click on View/Columns, make sure that Attachments is checked (click it) It should put a column with a papper clip icon at the top of your in box.
