Hi Roland12

Well Automator is only limited by our imagination. You can batch process as many pdf's as you'd like in one go. Related to this idea of using Automator, I had previously added my own Finder action, that after I have selected the files I want to change, is available after a right click on the selected files. Personally, I previously made  it available to resize any jpeg photos that I had AirDropped from my phone. My AirDrop received them in my Downloads folder. I selected them, right clicked, then an action from the drop down window which now has the name of the Finder action I created. Think of it as any drop down window giving you choices, but it was your own addition. In simplistic terms, it makes them resize, delete from the downloads folder and then be moved to another folder that I had created. This other folder is one that I know has the expenses etc that I need to enter into QBO. The reason? Because I personally find taking a photo much easier than scanning and any employees just need to take pictures and send me them. 

Automator will work around a failure of the attachments as pdfs and I'd think ends up delivering a better result for the small upfront effort rather than saving back the attachment as we would have to do now.

Of course, if it's reinstated, then so much the better. However, if they take away the ability to attach  png or jpgs, then we're back to ground zero.
