*.pdf Could not be opened - It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. Hello! I have a problem that appeared a few weeks ago.. I can not open some pdfs that I receive via email. The issue goes as follow: I can not open the pdf file directly from the Mail app (MacBook Pro 16 2019, MacOs Ventura 13.2) The pdf can be opened it if I login in the email via Safari or if I redirect the email to someone else and open it from there(MacBook Pro 14 2020, MacOs Ventura), so the file is not broken.. I have also noticed that when i check the same email from the Mail app and from Safari (yahoo mail), the same file has different sizes, typically on the Mail app being smaller. I have tried synchronising and rebuilding in the Mail app. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you kindly!

since 18.3 update, pdf files wont open using outlook Since the 18.3 and now 18.3.1, pdf files will not open. We use Outlook to send them. Never an issue before the updates. This is on IPads, IPhones, and also Android devices.
