Question

PDF with garbage characters

Our company receives PDF invoices. When we preview, open from within Outlook, or download the PDF to desktop and then open, the PDF contains a large amount of garbage characters. However, when the email with the PDF is forwarded to another person, the garbage characters are gone.

 

This isn't isolated to a single recipient. We have 2 employees that receive the invoices and their workaround is to forward the invoice to the other.

 

Any ideas?

When you download to the desktop, is it opening in Acrobat Reader, for sure? Other apps might run instead/ Look at the window title to check. No windows title - not Acrobat Reader (on Windows).

Yes. Definitely opening in Acrobat Reader DC.
