Error description

  • In V5.2.5 a business process that would send PDF files using
    the MailMime and SMTP Send adapters, sends a corrupted file. The
    file is sent but when the recipient opens the PDF file, they
    get the following error:
    "Adobe Reader could not open "docname" 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)."
    

Local fix

  • STRRTC - 465830
    SB / SB
    
    Circumvention:
    Edit the BPML so that the MailMime Service includes the
    following tags:
    <assign to="mail-mime-body">false</assign>
    <assign to="mail-mime-attachment-count">1</assign>
    <assign
    to="mail-mime-attachment1">/absolute/path/to/PDFFile.pdf</assign
    >
    
    A File System adapter could be included to write the document to
    the file system so it can be picked up by the MailMime Service.
