I´m having trouble saving an pdf onto my desktop by dragging it from Apple Mail to the Finder. It will be converted to a .inetloc file. I known I could you "save as …" but I like to drag & drop and it worked before.
MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) running MacOS 12.1
MBP (14"), MacBook Pro 14″
What happens if you drag and drop from email an attachment other than a PDF?
DId this start with the Monterey upgrade?
Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
I just dropped a PDF file from a mail message and dropped it in my Documents folder and it remailed a PDF.
When you Save As does it save as PDF?

Is that a physically attached PDF, or a link to a PDF on a remote server? In the latter case, when you drag and drop, you are not saving a PDF, but a .webloc file that contains the URL to that remote PDF. What happens when you right-click on that attachment and choose Save?
Thank you! It helped! "Save as" worked fine.
Monterey feels very buggy for me – this issue, finder quick look bug and so on.
Thank you! It's a physically attached PDF and yes Save as worked fine.
