[ILUG] Windoze(?) cannot read PDF attachment

[Brian Foster]

 I'm trying to send a PDF file, generated by pdflatex(1),
 as an e-mail attachment, to some external sites which I
 presume are running some flavour of Windoze.

 all(?) the sites report back it cannot be read (and then
 request an RTF/M$-Word format instead!  ;-(  ).  needless
 to say, I've no problem reading the PDF whether I sent it
 to myself locally, or bounce it to myself via my ISP.

 the details are vague.  the best info I have is:

  ``When I try to open the PDF is says the file is damaged,
    tries to repair it and then says "There was a problem
    reading this document (14)"!''

 that was sent with ``X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211''
 which I therefore assume is the MUA involved (at least at
 that site).

 any ideas??

 ( I'm trying to get a copy of the e-mail sent back to me
  so I can see what was actually received, but .... )

 alternatively, if someone out there has access to some
 Windoze-ware, and is willing to give it a try, please
 let me know and I'll send e-mail with the PDF.  since
 the PDF in question is my CV, there's nothing sensitive
 here at all  ....  in fact, if you want to see a copy of
 my CV anyways, please drop me a note.  (I do not attach
 it to this e-mail to keep things small/short/simple.)

cheers!
