Re: pdf email attachment

>Hi All - I would like to email an attached pdf  file from the as400.  I'm
using the qtmmsndm api which is working fine with  text and html but when I
try it with a pdf file I >get garbage output.  It  looks like I need to
specify a different code page.  Has anyone come across  this and an
resolution for it?  Thank you -  Bill

     I have just done this myself & it works generally OK.

Firstly, have you tried to use acrobat to read the resultant stream (PC)
file created ?

If this fails to read it ok, you can check the file by opening it in
WORDPAD or similar &
it should look something like the following:
%PDF-1.0
%ÔÒ¤Ë
1 0 obj
<<
/Type /Catalog
/Pages 5 0 R
/Outlines 2 0 R
/PageMode /UseOutlines
>>
endobj
2 0 obj
<<
etc

I did find I had to fiddle with the ccsid & set it to 37 (we are 285 here)
which seemed to fix my problems.
