Content Action Issue with Imported Email

I am using Grooper 2.8; in 2.7 after I expand the mail message; I was able to use content action on level 2 folder and split the pages.  In version 2.8; when I preform content action on the pdf after expanding the mail message; I am getting invalid file type for a split operation.  The file type association is a pdf.

    Could you send a screenshot of your process?

    The error was actually in the content action; for some reason after it expand the mail message when it try to split the PDF page.  It doesn't recognize the file type as PDF.  If I manually load the PDF from the attachment it does the content action without any issue.



    I try other vendor emails it works fine; so only certain vendor emails have issue.

    From the Grooper Wiki:
    "Mail messages are imported to Grooper as Electronic Documents using the RFC822 format. The Render activity can be used to generate a PDF version of the mail message and its attachments. This process will make the mail content viewable in Grooper. "
    Have you tried adding a Render activity to verify that the .PDF files are being imported as a PDF version?

    No, let me try that

    So if I render, do I need to Image Process and OCR at a folder level now; since is not going to split it into individual pages?  So does that mean all PDF coming in will be render and I can avoid the content action split page step?

    Once rendered, you should then be able to run content action -> split on the pdf, and proceed with the rest of your usual process.
