Problem: I'm able to download attachments from Outlook, but not PDF files. What variable should I use for the file type, please?

I want to download any attached document, generally PDFs, into my directory. It currently works, but only for TXT files.

A million thanks.

Hi @helioman 

Use the File variable only.

Also, check the field descriptions for guidance on expected values.
