Getting Started

Hi (DeskTop on Windows App)
This is my code but i can no open pdf files on my iphone

if mAttachFile <> “” then
file = new emailAttachment
file.ContentEncoding=“UTF8”
file.MIMEType = “application/pdf”
file.ContentEncoding = “Base64”
file.Data = EncodeBase64(“PDF”)
file.loadFromFile getFolderItem(mAttachFile)
mail.attachments.append file
end if

What happens? What is the result? A bit more detail would be welcome.

Your code is rather strange. There are 2 lines for setting the ContentEncoding. Which aren’t needed. The same goes for the data of the file. You first encode and load the string “pdf” and then you load from a file. IS the file a pdf?

Here is my code for doing gzip files:

dim theAttachment as new EmailAttachment theAttachment.LoadFromFile(tempFile) theAttachment.Name = "CrashLogs.gz" theAttachment.MIMEType = "application/gzip"

I do seem to remember that the order of the code is important. Oh, and the attachments still show up with duplicate names even in 2016r1.
