[H] Converting bad attachment

2008-03-01 Thread Thane Sherrington
I got an email with a PDF attachment that instead of coming as an 
attachment, came embedded in the body as a base64.  Is there a way to 
convert it back to a PDF?


The beginning looks like this:
---7D81B75CCC90D2974F7A1CBD
Content-Type: file/pdf
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=dhr_guest_confirmation24134049.pdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64


Then there are lines and lines sort of like this:
JVBERi0xLjQNCjEgMCBvYmoNCjw8DQovQ3JlYXRvciAoT3JhY2xlMTBnUjIgQVMg

I tried copying and pasting the block of text to an online converter, 
but it rejected it as invalid.

I don't have an answer for you, but it may be your email client.  Try
forwarding it to another email account that uses a different client (like a
Gmail acct or something).
