Try converting the pdf to html or text at
http://access.adobe.com/access

base64 is probably unicode UTF-8.  Pine can read UTF-8 html or text, 
'mail' cannot.

Maybe Adobe will also convert the UTF-8.

People have started sending me (English) mails in UTF-8.
Some new idiotic default.  Ask your company to send ASCII instead.

If the above does not work, attach one of these pdf's and I
will try to read it.
