Turn off support for an attachment file
format for a BlackBerry Attachment Service
The BlackBerry Attachment Service uses distillers to convert attachments that are in supported file formats so that users
can view the attachments on their BlackBerry devices. By default, all supported distillers are turned on. You can turn off a
distiller to prevent users from viewing attachments that are in a specific file format. For example, if you turn off the .pdf
distiller, users cannot view .pdf attachments on their BlackBerry devices.
