How do I send an attachment in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 as a PDF file via e-mail?

The document is saved under WordPerfect. Need step-by-step instructions, please.

OK. Assuming you've checked the PDF filesize, and that it falls within your ISP's attachment limit, the procedure is as follows:-



1. Write your email as you would normally.



2. Before sending it, click on the small paperclip on your toolbar in Outlook. This is the attachment tool



3. Browse to where you have the PDF saved, click on it, and you'll find it will be added to your email.



And that's all there is to it. However, a word of caution. A lot of systems will automatically try to kick in Adobe reader within the viewer's browser if the PDF is attached in this way. In a few cases, this can cause a total lockup of the system. A far safer bet would be to use something like WinZip or WinRAR to encase the PDF within either a Zip or RAR format. This will also have the added benefit (most of the time!!!) in a slight reduction in filesize.



Good Luck

If the document is saved under WordPerfect you must use a program like Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) to convert the document into a PDF. If it is not already in a PDF format then you cant email it in PDF format. Once the file is in PDF format you can send it just like any other attachment.
you need an adobe acrobat converter to begin. Not the acrobat reader. Go to Adobe.com and convert your file to pdf format, it is free for few conversions. Once your file is converted to pdf open your ms outlook and create new mail. Click the paperclip icon to attach your file then click send.
