Hello, I would like to filter and forward mails with PDF attachments. Unfortunately I do not know how to set the filter so that it can filter emails with PDF attachments.

Can you help me please?

Thanks a lot Jan

Currently in 78, the only filter rule is has/hasn't attachments, and it has never been possible (without add-ons) to filter by type of attachment. The only other rule that could be used is Size, since messages with pdf attachments are usually much larger than ones without. But again, there's no way to distinguish attachment types.

Many thanks for the answer. All messages with attachments can also be filtered, how does that work? Can you give me an add-on that can filter these messages?

well you create a filter that says if the message has an attachment do the following.

See the attached picture for an example. Note that Attachment Status only appears if the filter acts 'after Junk Classification'.
