Problem With PDF Files - SOLVED

[Plant, Dean]

I suffered a very similar problem and traced it down (with the help of Julian) to our MS exchange 5.5 server which encoded some mails with pdf attachments in quoted printable format and some in base64. Any that were quoted printable were corrupted when the signature was added.

Do your mails originate from MS exchange?

Ricardo;

I was doing some testing yesterday and by sending PDFs to myself and 
could not duplicate the problem. I have Sign Clean Messages = yes. I 
think this has more to do with certain PDF files. I'll have to wait and 
see if someone complains again so I can test with a known bad file. It 
is a strange problem though.
