viewing attached pdf in external app: (non-)tmp file?

Post by fastmiso »

Hi,

I have the problem (in 10.4.3, and at least since 10.4) that when I click on the Preview icon in the Attachments Pane to read a PDF outside of Bookends (in Skim.app, in my case) it creates a tmp file at a location such as this:

Code: Select all

/private/var/folders/56/56s2vxHbEqullW0l+ymLjk+++TM/-Tmp-/WebKitPDFs-93RVxq
This means that I can't save annotatations to the PDF (in a .skim file in Attachments folder) when I approach the PDF from within Bookends.

I feel like in 10.3 it opened up not a tmp version but rather the original file (that in my "Attachments folder"). I can't find any (new) settings to change this behavior in 10.4.x. Is there a way I can continue to open a PDF (in Skim.app) from the Attachments Pane but actually work on the original file in my Attachments Folder?

Thanks!

Hi,

This really is a tech support (not a forum) issue. To begin with, I'll need more information.
