Trouble opening pdfs

[Justin5D6E]

Hi, when i send pdf's via email the recipient receives the following message when opening the file..

Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open '- 11-18-2020.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

How can i try to fix this issue?

Regards

Justin

Contact your email service provider and ask them to fix the encoding for PDF files... You can also zip up the file before sending it.
