I choose the menu point "extras" and then "serial mail assistance". There I choose a database for the fields in the sheet and finally send it with the serial mail send button. In this dialog I choose the field in the database for the mail addresses and use the PDF attachment option.

Thank you Andreas.
Could you please provide an example database and document for others to test? And possibly also a resulting PDF?
Please also test in a recent version (7.5 or 7.6) to see if the issue persists.
Much appreciated!
