View Full Version : Capturing pdfs from GMail

My GMails often have a link that turns out to be a pdf which I then want to capture in UR. I use (and like) Adobe for my pdfs which I find loads very quickly in its latest version despite contrary comments on this forum.

For some reason normally it is not possible to go back to the link and right click to make the capture. So I end up saving the pdf and then going into Windows Explorer from where I drag the file into UR.

This is a bit tedious. I am sure there is a better way and that I am missing something obvious.

I don't have any funnel icon in Adobe as in IE. Is that an option that I can configure?

StephenUK,
I'm not a GMails user. Can you right-click the link to show the property of the link whereby you can ctrl+c? Thence press Win+V.
Hope the trick works for you.

Armstrong. Thank you. Yes, that worked very well and is a considerable improvement over what I was doing! Stephen
