XCLN: Macintosh Does Not Correctly Support Adobe.pdf Attachments

ID: Q181960

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you send an Adobe Acrobat.pdf file as an attachment from an Exchange Macintosh client, the attachment is unusable when received by any other Exchange or MS Mail client.

The .pdf file is not recognized by the Macintosh Exchange client and is modified to be a generic MacBinary attachment. This results in the attachment being received with a generic icon (usually a Macintosh computer icon) and is not useable even when saved locally.

STATUS
