Re: [gscan2pdf-help] email as PDF and Evolution error

[Kenny S. <ks...@tp...>]

I'm a recent Ubuntu convert, so forgive my greenness. I think from below
you are asking me to run a controlled experiment using the xdg-email
component outside of gscan2pdf. Yes?

 

If I wanted to try this with a file that is at this location:
/home/kschiff/Documents/IntelligentCalc.xls

 

Can you give me the exact command that I would put into terminal to try
this?

I haven't touched the email as PDF code recently.

For evolution, the email is created with (where $pdf is the name of the
PDF file).

xdg-email --attach $pdf 'x\@y'

Please try this (including a full path - that "/" -> "%2F" conversion
looks strange).

Either this is not working, or the filesystem is not flushing the PDF
write before evolution reads it.
