Why does Outlook damage pdf files when sending as attachment?
Outlook Express on Windows XP
When sending a pdf file as an attachment, the recipient gets this error message: There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. The same files when sent as an attachment from a different application (hotmail e.g.) open properly so it appears that Outlook is the culprit. I found this generating PDF's from crystal reports. The file is being truncated. I have found that this happens if the PDF is below a certain size (around 10k but it depends). Essentially if the PDF is a single page and only has a single section compressed with /FLATE, outlook will truncate it.
