Is there a reason not to allow .pdf attachments? Are there any more .pdf related exploits than other file types?

There was a issue a few versions back on pdf files.
Even if you allowed them in the control panel settings for attachments.
I am not sure what version you are using but I am on 7.5.5 and it works fine for me now.
I can't recall what the fix was at the moment. But it was in the bug forum.
Probably under fixed bugs now.

Thanks for the quick response, Ruben... I'll take a look. One of these days, I'll do the upgrade!

I can't seem to find any reference to the pdf issues other than it was a issue at one point in time.
So I am not sure what was done to fix the issue.
Memory tells me it was you could upload a pdf but had problems opening the file afterwards.
Maybe when Rick switches the search back to internal I can find it again.

I saw mention of that, but I did not see the fix. I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I'll shut it off again.
