    This is the message that I receive when I try to open them:

    "Adobe Acrobat Reader is unable to open '2017-12-28 07-04AM - Test 1 Test.pdf' because it is an unsupported file type or because the file was damaged (for example, it was sent attached to an e-mail message and has not been correctly decoded)."

    I was not able to replicate the issue you reported on my cloned form. I was able to open PDF Attachment form the email Notification without any issue. I was also able to download and open a PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

     I clear form cache on your account, Please download and try to open a PDF file again. 

    If the issue still persists on your end, please tell us if the issue is related to only one PDF file or to all PDF files that you received via email. 


    Also, please check if you are able to download those PDF reports from the submission page of your form.

    Hello,

    I have cleaned both the history and my caches.
    I have also created a new test form but the pdf files attached to the e-mails are still all corrupted.

    The same thing happens in my other premium account.

    At this point I think that it might be a general problem with the attachments.
