I've updated the iPad from iOS 7.0 to 7.1 and the problem still exists. So it looks like it was in fact an iOS problem in the end. To confirm it I've repeated the exact same steps on an older iPad that still has iOS 7.0 and the problem exists as before. I just repeated the same tests today to discover the problem seems to have gone away in iOS 7.1. Today I was about to start working on finding out the differences between how OS X and iOS send the mail, as under OS X the mail is received okay. When users delete their signature and replace it with a plain text or simple html signature it's all fine! If their signature includes an embedded image (the image data is included in the message) this causes the problem. I narrowed this down to a problem in how the Mail app on iOS encodes the attachment when the user has an HTML signature set in their iOS Mail settings.

The attached PDF appears as a broken image, despite the attached file being sent as the correct MIME type (application/pdf). But for some mail clients such as Outlook and when viewing Gmail in Chrome I see the same error you're seeing. I've been working the same problem myself and I've been having all sorts of problems (blog post to my users at ).įor most people it's fine, the PDF appears in their mail client fine. Is it possible to have the e-mail HTML formatted and have the PDF attachment looking good in Outlook? Is the problem at the e-mail creation part or more at the Outlook side? The other e-mail clients (Gmail or Yahoo) seem to be handling this well. This problem occurs with iOS7 I can't remember too well but I think the attachments were fine in iOS6. However, this means that you can't properly format the e-mail text and also can't add any kind of HTML signature to the e-mail. There is a workaround: If you set the message body as not HTML ( ), then the attachment is correctly displayed in Outlook.

Here is the code that sends the e-mail: MFMailComposeViewController* controller = init] However, with the red cross the customers think that the attachment wasn't properly attached.) (The attachment PDF is actually sent, if you right click the e-mail and select 'View Attachments', then you will be able to view the PDF.

When I send an e-mail with a PDF attachment from an iOS device, the PDF attachment doesn't get displayed properly in the Outlook mail client.
