Hello @LaVaineM ,
I'm moving this post to our Questions & Discussions board, since it doesn't fit with our Product Ideas board. I've removed several potentially sensitve account details from your post, please keep our Community's Guidelines in mind when posting in this public forum.
Emails made from PDFs have always been just the image of the first page of a PDF, and would only link to the PDF itself. I've tested in my own account, and all the elements described I could easily delete. I can also control individual backgrounds of the section and the overall email.
If you need guidance on creating emails from PDFs, I'd recommend checking out our main article on the topic. If you need guidance on using the section editor, please refer to this article for step-by-step and visual instructions. Our article on managing and deleting email elements is also a good resource if you're unsure of how to delete specific blocks within a section, row, or the overall email.
If you're needing live, 1:1 guidance on creating an email from a PDF and removing the elements you don't want, I'd advise calling back in so they can screenshare. Make sure when you call in that you're entering in the number with the applicable country code, if you're from outside the US/CAN.
