I have developed a problem now where I can't email a pdf attachment. It turns into some kind of strange gibberish. I am using something called squirrel mail (provided by my ISP) for sending email.

Here's a bit of what the attached pdf looks like when I try to open it in my sent items.

My trendmicro internet security doesn't recognize that I have a virus.

I use e-fax to receive faxes as pdf's and they are generally readable and apparently fine in my computer. I have been using cute pdf to convert word doc's to pdf's and again they seem fine when they are in my computer (i.e. I can open and view them OK). Its when I try to send them that they turn to garbage .

Has anyone seen anything like this or have an idea what could cause this or how to trouble shoot? I really need to be able to send pdf's.

Thanks.
