Windows 8 MAIL client renames G-Mail PDF attachments filename and extension to PDF????

Hi PPL,
I have the Windows 8 MAIL client configured to get G-Mail based on an imap configuration.
When opening gmail.com in Internet Explorer and looking at a specific email I do see 2 attachments for example with name: "Mail Attachement1.PDF" &  "Mail Attachement2.PDF" In the browser I can open the attachment as pdf files.
When opening the mail in the Windows 8 MAIL client the attachment are renamed to:
ATT000442.ext & ATT000445.ext
I can't find what is causing this, please help!!
Regards,
Arjan

same issue....
Do a Network capture of the HTTP message flow.  E.g. use Fiddler4 in order to get its Enable Local Loopback utility
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fiddler/archive/2011/12/10/fiddler-windows-8-apps-enable-loopback-network-isolation-exemption.aspx
Most likely you will find that a Content-type header is what is causing your symptom.  Then you could ask the administrator of the server to change that to make sure that it looks like .pdf and not what you are getting.  Note that Fiddler would
allow you to create your own override to test whatever change you would like to be implemented.

  • When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or Jpeg how do I tern this feature off and just have them show as icons

    When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or JPEG how do I turn this feature off and just have them show as icons
    Thanks

    There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

    I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

  • I need help in converting PDF to PS and back to PDF

    I am using the ghostScript distiller for PS to PDF file conversions. I need to know if I can make it convert from PDF to PS and back to PDF while optimizing the PDF in the process using the pdfopt.bat. I believe that changes need to be made to idcrefinery.cfg to allow for this conversion (Using an inbound refinery "IBR" to convert certain file types to PDF when checked in through a content server). My need is to be able to optimize PDF files upon checkin to the content server. Any tips, guidance, or ANY help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you,
    Roger

    Sounds like a question for GhostScript users, not Acrobat users.

  • Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

    Hi @ll,
    default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
    Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

    We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

  • Mail client cannot receive mail

    We have a dual 2GHz Xserve w/ 2GB RAM running 10.4.9. We run our own mail server on it.
    Yesterday one of our 27 users (also all on macs) developed a problem w/ her mail—she cannot receive anything. Sending is fine, but neither internal nor external mail can get to her.
    We did all the usual things on her machine (permissions, reinstall Mail, etc. etc.). Nothing changed. Then today a couple other apps started flaking out, so we switched her G5 tower out for a spare G5 we have so we could rebuild her machine. Set her mail up on the spare, and the same problem occurs, making us suspect it's at the server level.
    Doing a "Get Info" on her mail account (in the drop-down menu from the gear icon in the LL of her mail window) shows that all her mail from last Friday to present is sitting out on our server.
    We have WebMail enabled, and logging on through a browser with her id and password yields the following error message:
    "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
    Query: FETCH 1:* (FLAGS UID RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Date To Cc From Subject X-Priority Importance Priority Content-Type)])"
    which I have to admit means little to me. Both IMAP and POP account types are enabled on the server.
    What the heck is going on?
    TIA,
    Rita M

    Have you tried rebuilding her account database? This would be the first thing I would try.
    There is a "rebuild" button in the Server Admin but I've never had much luck with it. The more basic way to do it is through the command line. Apple has a technote about it here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107996
    Also I would post this question under the OS X Server Mail group. That group is frequented by people who are heavily into mail. Just because you happen to be using an Xserve doesn't mean this is the most specific group.
    Good luck,

  • Mail Client stopped sending mail via googlemail after changing password

    I changed my google mail password.  Now, I am getting smtp.gmail.com failures on both my iMac and my Mac Air.  I have updated my google password on all my devices. iPhone and iPad work fine but neither computer will send mail. Running Yosemite 10.10.1 on both computers.  Also tried resetting Captcha (?) per similar issues on google threads...did not help. 

    You do not need to delete your account.  The trick is that there are TWO places to put in your account password.  You probably fixed it in the obvious place, and your incoming mail works fine.  Now you need to fix it for your outgoing mail:
    Settings > Mail > your account > Outgoing Mail Server > Primary Server >Password
    and suddenly your outgoing mail will work again  :-)

  • Dynamically change of filename and save as pdf on LINUX

    Hello,
    currently we're facing the following problems:
    We have to create a report that will have to run several times. It should be avoided that the rdf has to be called more than one time.
    After the run, the report should create a pdf which has to be saved in a directory on LINUX with a distinct filename e.g. rep_nnnnnn_hhmiss.pdf.
    How can we implement that?
    Best regards
    Markus

    Hi,
    You can use Advanced Distribution to save the output file using a name based on a report variable.
    It's fairly involved so you may need to look up Creating Advanced Distributions in the Oracle documentation.
    But essentially you need to create a distribution XML file that looks something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE destination SYSTEM "file:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/dtd/distribution.dtd">
    <destinations>
    <foreach>
    <file id="DEST1" name="\temp\&amp;&lt;rpt_name&gt;.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
    <include src="report"/>
    </file>
    </foreach>
    </destinations>
    rpt_name will be a field of the same name in the report. Set this field in the main query in the data model, perhaps using a sequence and sysdate in your case. You will also need to set the Repeat On property on the Main Section in Paper Layout to the name of the group that this field is in.
    Then you just need to add the following parameters to the URL you use to call the report:
    DISTRIBUTE=yes&DESTINATION=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/distribution/filename.xml
    With Destination being the name and location of the distribution XML file.
    The reports server then uses the XML file to control the output of the report.
    Cheers,
    Toby.

    when we try to open the notepad ,word file,it is opening in pdf format and also the client is receiving in pdf format.
    If we attach the pdf document in email,it should show in pdf format.
    Some settings are changed and i need your support to fix the issue.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Are the PDF files showing with the PDF icon or other icons in your local disk?
    Please start Outlook in sate mode and test again. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /safe and press Enter.
    In addition, you may also try to clean out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check the result. See:
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
    Please let me know the result.

  • Submitting a PDF form --- save and send completed PDF document?

    A small government site has a number of 'submittable' PDF
    form documents
    that they'd like me to include on the website. I am not very
    familiar
    with PDF forms in this way, and hope someone here can help
    sort out a
    few things...
    Can a PDF form be submitted so that
    a) the completed PDF doc is saved on the server (and renamed)
    b) a printable , completed PDF (looks just like the one they
    filled out,
    with all their values saved in the input boxes) is emailed to
    specific
    address
    c) the raw user data is saved to database (maybe a list of
    fields in one
    column of a db table, and a matching list of values in
    another? this
    would just be for backup in case the completed PDF did not
    save
    correctly to the server, or for later reference)
    We've looked at the standard Acrobat 'submit via email' and
    that won't
    cut it... that method appears to simply trigger a 'mailto'
    popup, with
    the pdf as an attachment. Our system needs to be automated
    via CFmail.
    None of these would handle any 'sensitive' information, the
    main
    concern, from their part, is people being able to submit the
    form and
    have both the city office and the recipient get a copy that
    prints just
    as if they had hit 'print' when filling out the actual PDF.
    Is all of this possible ??
    if so... any tips appreciated!

  • Add filename and path into PDF-form

    Hello,
    I create different PDF-forms for our company with LiveCycle Designer 8.2.1 .
    Now I have to integrate the name of the form-file and its path automatically into the form. My idea is to place a text-field, I will give the type "calculated" in the value-tab of the object-palette. This Text-field should be filled with the file name and the path where it's stored in the background. I find these two values in the info-tab of the form-properties dialog-box. My questions is: How do I get these values, that I can place them via script into my text field?
    Can someone give me a hint? Thanks.

      To get the path ... event.target.path;
    To get the file name .... event.target.documentFileName;

    We first get a digital proof form printers as .pdf. Sometiems they save them with PDF compatible on. This makes my job harder because will get ilustrator asking for all the links when opening the .pdf.
    What we do is open the .pdf form the printere, adn paste this on topof our orignal .ai file. Thi sis to proof what theyt changed. Adding in theri product numbers, adn updating the UPCS is about all we want to see. What we look for is shifting type, or missing elelements.
