Re: PDFs from OSX to PCs
Merv I can't fully grasp what you mean by the difference of sending the file as an attachment to an e-mail and sending it as an attachment through your mail facility. Receiving a file attachments on a PC is pretty much the same as a Mac and you should be able to save the file without opening it. There is however a security option on Windows PC Outlook Express which if checked prevents attached files being opened and saved that could be a potential virus. A couple of things you also need to do when sending a file to a PC user is to make sure it has a suffix on the end which in this case is .pdf, the other thing is to make sure that you have the method of encoding is set at Apple Double (MIME). If you still have problems send me more exact information and I will help you out the best I can.

I thought my version of Eudora might be the problem so I upgraded, and the same occurs. Could someone who is across both platforms offer an explanation, please.

Merv Your ISP's web e-mail probably sends the document as HTML e-mail with the PDF embedded in it, whereas Eudora probably sends it as a MIME attachment, hence why the PC browser responds differently. To get this behaviour in Eudora you could try creating an HTML e-mail message (blecch) and dropping the PDF document into the body of the message.
