Random PDF corruption in received emails

I am running a setup with 1 Ipad original 64gb, 3G IOS 5.1.1 and 9 Ipad 2's 64gb, 3G IOS 5.1.1
When we issue an email to these devices from Outlook 2010 running on Windows XP / 7 machines containing more than 1 PDF document in the attachments the odds are great that the 2nd attached PDF will be corrupt on at least one of these devices if not more. This has been ongoing for some time. I will detail the latest incident for you all to ponder...
An email with 5 attached PDF's was generated on our Windows machines using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create the PDF's. This email was then sent out to the mail accounts of the Ipad's hosted on MS Exchange Server 2003. The Ipads connect to this server via simple SMTP to download the messages. I am the holder of the Ipad 1 and I could open all but the last two attachments in quick view on the Ipad which told me they were corrupt. Adobe Reader on my Ipad also would not open the last two attachments. Neither would PDF Expert.
On the Ipad2's some could open all the attachments, some could not open the same two that I could not open, on others it was only 1 attachment that could not be read but also was not one of the two that I could not read. Broadcasting the message again using the same recipients and the same message that had already been sent but forwarding it this time, results in me on my Ipad1 being able to read all the attachments. Some recipients on the Ipad2's could also now open all of the attachments, some could not open any, and still others could now open the ones they could not before, but now the ones they could open in the original broadcast they cannot open in the second which was simply a forward of the original sent message.
If I check my email on my Windows 7 pc using Outlook 2010 I can open and read all the attachments, I also open the same messages from the same account as received on my Macbook Pro using Outlook 2011 for Mac and I can open all attachments just fine.
So....to my logic the problem is not with the mail as it leaves the Exchange server as my Windows pc and my Macbook are getting the same messages from the same mailboxes with the same attachments and all is well. The problem must be in the Ipad(s) as they receive the message and it is randomly corrupting the attached PDF's.
Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how have you resolved it? I have seen many threads on different user sites across the internet outlining this problem with PDF's on the Ipad going back to 2010 with no clear comment from Apple or a resolution. I'm just hoping I've missed something and someone here can help.
Thanks.

The problem is likely with the source, not the destination. If you're not seeing signatures on emails from other people, then they are probably not adding a signature.
If you're seeing a 'distorted' signature with email attachments for the graphics, then either organization may have a policy which prevents HTML emails. If an email is forced to plain text, it will alter the view that you are seeing.

ICWC document emailed with no extension or PDF corrupted.

CRM 5.0 SP11.
1. We access a document in the inbox and an attached document exist & agent has visbility to the document in the Document Search (order ack, invoice) saved in CMS as OTF files.
2. Agent can click the hyper link and see the document (Good)
3. Agent can select the document and email, in the ICWC email screen agent can click the attachment and again see the document. (Good)
4. The person receiving the email receives the attachment but their is no extension (.PDF, OTF, etc). By double clicking on the extension windows ask which program to use and adobe 7.0 reader does open the form but the user has to repeat this action for every email received with an attachment.
We wrote an enhancement to add the .PDF to the email and step #3 works fine to the ICWC user But the receiving email recipient gets the PDF file but when opening the email the PDF is corrupt
" Adobe reader could not open .... is not a supported file type or is corrupted, was sent as email attachment and not properly decoded"
I'm posting here but not sure if this is a SAPconnect issue? Hoping someone else has encountered this. Will give points.

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

PDF files won't open in received emails (GMail) since update 5.1.1

I receive emails with attached PDF files for my work, but since the latest update 5.1.1 the PDF files will not download on my iPad 3 wifi. The files are usually around only 50kb in size, but when I tap the attachment in the email, nothing happens. The files also won't work on my iPhone 4S after the latest update too.
I never had a problem before the latest update, any ideas?

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

BB Curve 8900 - randomly stops receiving emails and requires battery pull

I'm a newb to BB and this forum has helped a lot but my BB Curve 8900 randomly stops receiving emails about every 2 days and requires a battery pull to correct.
When it stops receiving emails and I go to the browser, it is also unable to connect. I basically lose all connection to data. I can receive calls and sms.
Turning unit off and on does not help.
I need to do a battery pull. Then starts working fine right away.
I'm with Rogers in Canada
Is there a fix for this? Could I possibly have a bad phone? Battery pull once is a while is fine but to need to do that every 2 days is not.

Something similar happens to me. I have to keep resending the service books and then it works fine, try this, at least it will stop you keep doing a hard reset. I have read somewhere else that this can be influenced by having your phone to turn off at night etc. So for now I have turned this feature off. I can actually receive emails via wifi and the failure is only on GPRS. It sounds a bit strange but I am also becoming convinced that it only occurs when I leave home, go somewhere else and then come back.
Read this below. I did do all this but it hasnt worked for me, may help you though

SPro | SQR APY1060 is randomly generating Corrupted PDF's

Hi,
We're in the process of implementing SPro FSCM 8.9 on 8.47.11 for one of our clients. While the running the OOB SQR APY1060, we've found that the SQR randomly generates corrupted PDF. When we run the Process again, it works fine...Its is also difficult to replicate in other environments.
Has any body faced an issues like this earlier with any PS delivered SQR.
We've been able to zero in on the culprit - Control-M ... We've noticed a pattern, using the same run control ID, if we run it (PSJob) using the online page, then the PSJob runs absolutely fine. However, when we schedule it through Control-M the corruption happens. Also, if we create separate Process Requests in Control-M to schedule individual processes rather than the OOB PSJob, the SQR runs fine...Not sure if some one has come across such an issue...
Thank You
Prashant

I am not sure about this..but do you have different run control for the different OS or the same run control. Unix always recognises CAPS runcontrol values. do a check on that please.

Annotated PDFs Corrupting When Emailed

Our school has a one-to-one initiative with iPads (2200 students and 120 teachers). Student iPads on campus are a mix of gen 1s, 2s, and 4s. We recently began having trouble with annotated PDFs corrupting when they were emailed from students running iOS5 on iPad 1s to teachers running iOS 8 on iPad 4s. We use two different PDF annotation apps, Goodreader and Notability and the issue remains the same regardless of which app is used. When the annotated PDF is emailed out of the app from the student to the teacher and the teacher opens the PDF on their iPad the pages turn the color of whatever "ink" the student used with they annotated. It completely covers all content on the page. The PDFs open fine on a computer though. I've never seen anything like it in the 3+ years we've been using iPads on campus. Is it a compatibility issue of some sort between the operating systems? Looking for any feedback or suggestions I can get.
Thanks!

Not at all - the viewer is very basic indeed and does not recognise the annotations and only reads the basic pdf content.

Random delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail

Hi Everyone:
I've searched online about this problem but I didn't find anything helpful for my situation. I'm hoping someone here can help me. The problem I'm having is that there is a delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail—and it's happening in random. Here's a list of things that pertain to the problem:
1. Delays in receiving emails vary from 1 hour to 1 day. The delayed emails are actually sitting on the incoming email server and can be seen via webmail using a browser. So, to me, apparently this is a problem with Apple Mail not downloading the new email where it's clearly received on the server.
2. The same delayed email, when resent by the sender a few times, randomly downloaded by Apple Mail in no particular order. One of the resent emails arrived with no delay while others are delayed again. This is one same email from one same sender.
3. This problem happens on Macs running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x), Lion (10.7.x), and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x). Different Macs, different email user accounts, same domain name. But, some other Macs with other user accounts on the same domain name have never had this problem ever.
4. Besides this problem of delayed emails, I've also noticed another problem that seems to tag along: read emails or trashed emails will show up in the Inbox as unread/new emails the next day.
The steps I've taken so far:
1. Talked and had the email server provider checked the server and the delayed emails with long headers, and they found nothing wrong with the email server functions. I concurred as I can see the emails not delayed if I use the webmail/browser.
2. Rebuilt the email account in Apple Mail, reset keychain to the email account, clear cache, fixed permissions on the Mac with the problem.
And the problem persists...

I am having a similiar problem with emails sent to my 10.6 xserve.
I have noticed most, if not all, of the problems are connected to email coming from google servers i.e. [email protected] As I also administer a google business account I contacted Google and when they looked into it indicated this sometime has something to do with google's 'Undo Send" function. However in my case google is indicating it is an issue on my server with no further explination.

User not receiving email / corrupt database?

Much like another recent post, I have a user that can not receive email the emails just sit in the queue.
The error on those messages is "[[email protected]]: temporary failure"
Here are the twists:
1) We had a power spike a couple of days ago. The user's UPS failed and his machine lost power completely. He rebooted and everything else was fine, but he has not received an e-mail since then.
2) When looking at the list of users on the Server Admin > Mail > Maintenance > Accounts screen, the list in the database stops at the person BEFORE this particular user. They're alphabetical, obviously, so everyone after this person are not listed at all - 13 total missing accounts.
The kicker is that the rest of us are still receiving e-mail normally!
Thoughts?!
Details:
Mac Xserve running 10.4.11
Dual 2GHz, and 2GB RAM
Keep in mind I am NOT a born tech person, have a mild to moderate comfort level with a command-line prompt, and no native intuition for any of this.
Thanks!

I'm the consultant that fixed MNX04's server, but it took several attempts.
the Cyrus reconstruct command failed to resolve the issue, and even removing the user using cyradm, and re-creating them in Workgroup manager didn't fix the problem.
Pterobyte's mailbfr utility did the trick: mailbfr -f, wait awhile for the repair to run, and all was well.
I'm grateful for all the help pterobyte has given to people on this forum, but it concerns me a little bit that the Cyrus utilities built in to OS X server can't fix this sort of problem. (However, this is the first time I've run into a problem with OS X mail servers that the Cyrus reconstruct command couldn't fix.)

PDF corrupt when emailed - sometimes

My office is using CS5.5/Adobe X, running both OS Leopard and Snow Leopard (depending on machine). We create our PDFs typically from within InDesign. We have been having a periodic problem when emailing these PDFs. Joe will email a PDF to Mary, Sue and John (the client). Mary and John get this error: "There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)." Sue can read it fine. If I email the same PDF, the recipient can also read it. If we open the original PDF from our server, we can open it; if we zip it and email it to the same recipients who had the error, they can open it; if we upload it to our FTP, it can be downloaded and viewed.
Any ideas on how to snoop out this problem and fix it? Is this an Acrobat issue? I can't imagine it's an email client issue because our clients aren't running Outlook 2011 for Mac (what our office uses) - they are all on PCs.

Totally agree with zipping PDFs.
Over the years many of my clients in the graphics business have seen this problem from time to time. The internet will chew up things ocasionally, and the weird and flaky mail servers of many kinds and many different e-mail clients in use can compound the problem.
In every case . . . zipped PDF = 100% success where there have previously been problems!

Not receiving emails from non-BT ISP - random visi...

Hi
I am a regular visitor to a friend who has a bthomhub and until recently I was able to receive email into Outlook 2003 from my tiscali ISP. I cannot do this any longer and I suspect it is a firmware update to his homehub router. This was working in the past. When I say I am a regular visitor, this is a B&B and I am almost a weekly visitor, in general it needs people to be able to pop emails off a server and send via SMTP as usual without ANY weird configuration on a per-visitor basis.
I am representing my friend (B&B owner) who is not so computer savvy. I have experience of Linksys, Netgear and Belkin pre-N routers and their admin but not into NAT etc. To save a lot of trial and error - is this due to a router setting I can undo or is this caused by something different or is it a lost cause and my friend has made a big mistake commiting to a BT internet contract? If so I believe he could claim it is not fit for purpose.
The actual error I see in outlook is Connection was interrupted (0x800CCC0F) contact your server administrator or ISP. The help on error code 0x800CC0F does not help. Or am I missing something. Something has changed in the last 2-3 weeks. Please help.

1. Unless you created a filter to exclude Comcast email it must be at the Comcast end. After all, other mail providers work in Mail on your Mac, don't they?
2. Comcasts service is dreadful (almost as bad as AT&T/Yahoo)

Adobe pro x1 is not decoding pdf that i receive properly help?

i receive email and cannot open them. I have the sender resend them and they open anybody know why?

Agree with TSN. I suspect the error message is that the file is corrupt. In that case, it is most likely that the person who sent it to you did not encode it (typically MIME) as a binary file. That will corrupt a PDF every time. Have them either check their encoding or have them send a ZIP file.

Can no longer send or receive email from any account after Security Update

Hello,
I have a problem with my email in Mail. I let software update install the latest security update (007) a few days ago. I have not been able to send or receive my email since the update. I have several accounts and use Mail as my client for all. This includes my mac.com account, 3 att.net accounts and my website email. All give me the same error which is an SSL thing and has something to do with the certificates. I am able to receive email if I turn SSL off on the ATT accounts but not the mac.com (and if I try to collect my email with SSL off I get an angry message from ATT warning me I am not allowed to do so) and I cannot send any at all from any account.
The error message reads "unable to connect- there may be a problem with the mail server or network.... The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificated issued to "mail.mac.com". The error was: An SSL error occured while trying to read data from the server. Verify this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct". It then states that the certificate could not be verified.
The certificate date on the mac.com account reads May, 29th , 2010.
I also have an iMac and a MacBook Pro which are also running Tiger. I have not and will not run the security update on these machines until I find out why it has messed up my email on the G5. I can still send and receive email with the exact same account settings on the MacBook so I know it is not the settings but something to do with the Security Update.
Has anyone else had trouble with this update? Any advice?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
