Customer not able to read PDF documents
PDF's can become corrupted - before calling the customer check if the PDF is corrupted by sending an email with it attached to yourself - then check for corruption using an tool such as https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/repair.aspx
More commonly - the PDF is not being correctly rendered by the browser or pdf reader that is reading it. This is most commonly caused by a Font that is not recognised by the PDF reader (some fonts are not on MAC by default for example). The fastest fix for the customer is to download a robust pdf reader - the company that invented the PDF has a free reader https://get.adobe.com/reader/
