Gary I do believe these problems are from recent updates, I just haven't noticed till now. I want only the icon not the open PDF, and yes it works with two pages but that takes time and thought.

Attatch PDF to mail PITA
Hi All As of late I've been having trouble attaching PDF files to an Email, When I attach or drag a PDF to the message it blows open on the page. I don't want that, I want the file to be in PDF form. The only way I can stop this is to Zip it. I'm sure I have a setting or something wrong. Any one have the same problem?

The only kludge I can think of is to add a bunch of blank lines at the end to make it a 2 page pdf. Then it will show up as the icon. That will at least save you the zip kludge workaround.

I recall seeing PDF's in earlier versions of Mail, but it may be a 10.6 thing. In any case you have NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER over what is seen on the recipient's mail client, so the fact that you can see it when you open the email has no bearing on whether the recipient can. (Also, as far as sending .zip files, be away that a LOT of companies block .zip attachments entirely; they're mainly used these days to send malware. We block 'em entirely.) As Len said, OS X displays one-page PDF's automatically in Mail.

Then open your pdf to send in Preview, enable to thumbnail view, and drag your one-page blank pdf into the thumbnail view after the content of your pdf.
