Can't send PDFs or other files to Android after iOS 15 update

After upgrade to iOS 15, Messages no longer sends files (pdf, word, etc.) to android devices. Regular sms texts, photos and emojis work fine. Tried resetting iMessages…MMS… carrier network settings… rebooting… no change.

Can't send iMessage Attachments to Android users I cannot send screenshots, photos, or any other such attachment to someone using an Android device. I can send text (green SMS) to an Android device, but not a 52KB PDF document, for example. This exact question appears in the community forum from 3 years ago without a solution. It's still a problem. Solutions about the iPhone setting for forwarding SMS are not the answer. SMS forwarding is working for plain text. Is there a fix for this specific problem?
