Why does Mail convert PDF attachments to JPEGs?

When I attach a PDF to a message in Mac Mail it automatically converts to a JPEG. I can't find any reason for this in preferences and the Help Menu is no help. This didn't happen previously. I'm not doing anything different when I create PDFs (usually through Quark Xpress or InDesign). Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you using the Image Size adjustment available at the bottom right of the message window with attaching a single page PDF file which displays inline or viewed in place?
If so, this will convert a PDF file to a JPEG since the Image Size adjustment was designed for image/photo type attachments only.

  • Why does Mail change my attachments to DAT

    I am looking for help on why the mail program on my iMac and MacAir change attachments sent to me to DAT files.  The type of attachments doesn't matter.  They can be Excel, PDF, or whatever, but when they come over, they are using a DAT extension.  I've tried sending from various computers and other friends have sent me e-mails with attachements, but they always get changed to DAT files.  When I receive e-mails on my Roadrunner account, they come over correctly on the same computers.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Why does my converted PDF file show up as code and not in English?

    When I convert my PDF file to word, it shows up in code vs. English.  Parts are in English but most is not.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I am moving your posting at Acrobat.com Forum to ExportPDF Forum.
    I will know more once I see the PDF file, but am assuming that your PDF file was scanned images(OCR could not recognize some images as correct characters) or some encoding issue how PDF was created.
    Please send me your PDF file at below site so that I can review your file.

  • Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

  • When I send an email from Mac Mail, why does Mail go to the background and the Finder comes to the front? I want it to stay in Mail.

    When I send an email from Mac Mail, why does Mail go to the background and the Finder comes to the front? I want it to stay in Mail.

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

    In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

    Automatically cc myself is not checked.  I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab.  Thanks

  • Why does mail stop working?

    Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

    OK, thank you.  I use apple for e-mail.  I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud.  Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad.  The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then.  I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach.  I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
    I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently.  I also still have my @mac address.
    Generally, I do not understand icloud.  I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
    When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there.  When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account.  I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
    Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.

    Hi Michael
    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
    Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
    Just save to your document folder.

    Why does Mail show my Yahoo account as offline? I have to use a different outgoing mail server as a result.

    Hey there Mike,
    It sounds like you are seeing in the Mail app that your Yahoo account is offline. Take a look at the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:
