# Mail Corrupts a PDF Attachment While Sending

Sometimes, when sending emails through a mail gateway, a PDF attachment can get corrupted.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Set the attachment type to **application/pdf** instead of text/plain, which is the default.
2. Set the **JobInfo mimetype** to **application/pdf**.

## MimeType

This is used to set the **mimetype** of an optional attachment in an e-mail. It is required if the mail reader cannot associate the attached file with an application for reading it.

See **JobInfos** for **PrintMimeType**, **PrintAttachmentMimeType** and **MailAttachmentMimeType** for additional features.

Examples of mime types are **application/pdf**, **application/msword.**

#### Additional Information

It is always recommended to set the content type for jobs before sending them to modules such as **Azure Service Bus Input**, **Azure Service Bus Output**, **Exchange Output**, **Mail Output**.
