Description Max Ursin 2007-10-09 19:49:47 UTC 
Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I attach a pdf-file to a kmail message and send it to a windows computer, as a copy to myself on a linux computer and also as a copy to my wifes linux computer.

On the windows computer the attached file is shown correctly by acrobat reader, on both the linux computers the acrobat reader shows a blank pdf page.

On the linux computer I can choose the pdf file in the konqueror an open it with acrobat reader. With this method the pdf file is shown correctly....

It seems that kmail does something to this pdf file but only after having received the file in kmail. Linux kmail shows the blank page. Windows Outlook shows the correct file.

If you are using IMAP then try whether disabling "Load attachments on demand" for the IMAP account helps.

I'm using pop / smtp for emails.

@Max: I tried to reproduce the bug on kmail 1.11.2. But I could open the pdf attachment perfectly using okular. Did you check if you can open it in other pdf viewers? If not, can you please provide the attachment please?

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
