Do the MIME headers of the attachment have a Content-Disposition:
header with a filename= or name= parameter with the .pdf extension. If
so, Scrubber should use it. Even if not, Scrubber will normally guess
'.pdf' for the extension if the Content-Type is application/pdf.

The fact that the attachment is saved with a .obj extension indicates
the sending MUA may be giving it MIME type application/octet-stream
rather than application/pdf, and not giving it a filename.

To say more, we would need the actual MIME headers from the attachment.
You can find these in the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox
file.
