Not sure I’m clear on the environment you were operating in and the one that is now delivering corrupted PDFs. Can you clarify. Original Environment: ----------------------------- Program creating the PDF: 4D or what? OS creating the PDF: macOS or Windows Printer driver used: macOS built in, Microsoft Print to PDF or PDF Creator 1.7.3 OS 4D is running on that sends the email with PDF: macOS or Windows 4D Version sending the PDF via email: 17r6 or ? New Environment (that results in corrupt PDFs received via email): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program creating the PDF: OS creating the PDF: Printer driver used: OS 4D is running on that sends the email with PDF: 4D Version sending the PDF via email: Fill in the above blanks so we know exactly what changed. A change to any one of these could case a PDF problem — particularly when you mix macOS and Windows. I have dealt with a case where using certain versions of Microsoft Print to PDF driver in Windows 10 will create a PDF that will not open with Acrobat Reader on Windows 10, but it opens fine on macOS. Exact same code and 4D version running on a different Windows 10 machine with a different version of Microsoft Print to PDF driver did not have the problem.
