iPad native mail App

Hi,

I just got an iPad, and new to the Apple ecosystem.

I have setup gmail acount, and able to read/retrieve gmails from the native Mail App. PDF attachments are also embedded (ie viewable) as part of the mail reading pleasure.

However I have a PDP doc (9Mb) as part of a mail attachment. In this mail, I am not able to read the PDF doc at all.

But if I access the same mail using Gmail, I can read the PDF doc just fine.

Is there any possible explanation ? I think I must be missing something. Pls advice, rgds.

Desperate without broadB this week, i can't get any content sent from my Mac Pro, and it's a bit too unweildly to take to my mate's. Ipad is handy. What's the attachment problem? Saved my CVs to pad as PDFs. Can read. What's wrong? What a barrier. Can't use pad mail, as i do with trusted Mac Mail. Webmail not good. Not fair...!
