It is ushualy a server configuration of either the hosting company or on the email end. PDF have been know to cause problems in general. And in alot of case they will even be blocked by ISP's due to size. My suggestion would be to upload the PDF to the server. example: http://www.yourdomain.com/some.pdf The try to access this page. If it is still curopted check with your host or systems administrator. If not then I would send the email out with a link to that PDF uploaded on your server. This would be the best way to go about things all around. However if you still want to send the email, check it on your server first then let me know how it turns out. Seth

One side note. When I attempted to post your form I got an internal server error. Which means there may be mis configuration on the attachement. 2. When testing the pdf, upload it to an HTML directory to view it off your server/web space. Seth

I am find that the PDF's are corrputed whne I open the documents. I have uploaded the PDF find and it opens fine in the browser but not when it is attached to the email. If have also tried to attach it as a zip file but this also is corrupted. I don't really want to insert a link into the email unless there is no other alternative. One other thing is it possible to atatch multiple documents to the same email.

There is some problems people where having with attaching PDF's on some servers. I am going to ad some additional stuff to the script to make it easier to configure attachments and then I will let you know when it is done to re-download. Probably be in about a day. Seth
