Marc,



Do you have access to a Unix account?  If so, I would save the
attachments from each email message and name them as part1, part2 etc. 
Then I would copy them all to
your Unix account and run something like:



cat part1 part2
part3 part4 > "1200706
PO File.pdf"



The result should be the complete PDF file you desire.



Jon

We have a networked
multifunction copier/fax/scanner. 
Note the machine is called “berkeley.edu">Bus_Svcs_265berkeley.edu”

  
I scanned a large file as
a PDF file. ; It sent it to me
split into 4 parts.  The first few lines of the first message are shown
below.

  
In the bad old days when
I subscribed to bulletin boards
over a dial up modem I knew away of reassembling these in MS Notepad. 
But
I don’t remember it.

  
Can anyone tell me how to
reassemble this PDF file.

   The key to re-assembling this file may be these lines
from your 
excerpt of one of the parts:

   This PDF file, like many attachments sent as MIME message
parts in 
email, appears to have been encoded in Base64, a method of
using 
printable ASCII characters to represent arbitrary binary
data.  You 
can learn more about it at 
<http://email.about.com/cs/standards/a/base64_encod
ing.htm>.

   Once you've followed Jonathan's instructions, or else
re-assembled 
the file's four parts, in order, in your favorite text
editor and 
saved it as plain text, you'll need to run the file through
a Base64 
decoder.  That should generate the original PDF file as
output.

   One possibility is this Base64 decoder for Windows and
Unix:
