Description Gaël de Chalendar (aka Kleag) 2005-03-29 23:42:50 UTC
Version:           1.8 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:                Linux

In my organization, PDF files are procuded from MS Word files and images of the hierarchy signatures are added to the PDF file and this document is sent by mail. No paper version is transmitted to the final receiver.
Of course, all these operations are done under MS Windows and sendings are done via MS Exchange and MS Outlook...
When I receive these PDF files with KMail, they are corrupted: file is only partly viewable and not printable. Note that it is the zone corresponding to signatures images that is damaged.
I retried with fresh files and evolution and had the same problem. So, maybe is the problem at a lower level... My locale is set to UTF-8. Could it be related to that ???
I also retried to use a mailer using POP under Windows (Eudora) with no problem.

I apologize not to be allowed to join the faulty files or mailboxes. I will try to obtain a similar file showing the same problem but not confidential if needed.

Thanks in advance

Can you try receiving the file using Eudora or whatever, saving the file, then opening it in KPDF? See if the problem is still present.

By the same token, can you try opening the attachment in Acrobat Reader on Linux?

Isn't this the same as #100552? or #95733?
Comment 3 Thiago Macieira 2005-03-31 03:28:01 UTC
Thanks for noticing the duplicates, but I didn't understand this bug as that problem. I understood that the problem is on receiving those emails with PDF attached, not on sending them.

Sorry to reply so late. After reading #100552 and #95733, they seem to me to be of the same family.
First answer to comment 1: Files are unreadable with Linux Acrobat Reader too.


Below is the top of the attachment source:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
	name="RT04-049.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment;
	filename="RT04-049.pdf"

Well, Mime is application/octet-stream but encoding is quoted-printable thanks to MS Outlook. It's probably the source of the problem, isn't it ?

do you still see this problem with KDE 4.3 ?
if so, please attach such a test mail, otherwise there is no chance to look at the problem in more detail

No response - closing. If it is still reproducible, please reopen.
