The *reason* for sending a .PDF is to *avoid* problems with fonts (and
therefore formatting).
I send stuff 600 dpi, embedding all fonts. No problems yet. Everytime I
sent a Quark file, there were always problems (like them having a similar but
not exactly the same font on the machine that interfered with mine and caused
a world of problems...:/).
