The Mac OSX PDF program has the same problem. Opening it with the Adobe Reader works.
Size constraints for attachments are too strict, so I am unable to attach the 2.2 PDF file. Compression does not help either. -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 2,2M Jul 10 15:43 Profit_Projektvorschlag_R.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 2,2M Aug 12 16:43 Profit_Projektvorschlag_R.pdf.7
