As far as I can remember you can make a PDF of most reports in V5, but you don't actually say it is a Report which you are sending, nor which. You should see what options are available for each report on the right of the screen, or by pressing the "Print" button for each report.

I'm basically wanting to create a PDF file to send to a relative in Denmark. If version 5 will do that, then there'd be no need to convert to version 7. I want to make this as easy and foolproof as possible without losing data!

You would be able to restore your V5 .fdb back up to a new V5 installation though.
