I do not prefer PDF to anything more readable. If Acrobat Reader can't find the specified font, it provides the least readable alternative. I often have to resize to fit my full desktop and/or do a lot of scrolling which people hate. Maybe whoever told you that their people would prefer a pdf attachment are under the impression that viruses or trojans can't be sent that way.

Much more like it :o) But what about the theory that people would prefer an email with a PDF attachment? that sounded kinda strange to me but seeing as how the guy my client was talking to is in marketing I thought I'd better say nothing... cheers again jac. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 4:57 PM Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: PDF file size > > Hi Jac, > > As far as I know, you need to get you Distiller working, because > Illustrator's PDF files are always huge (I think Illustrator treats it all > like a giant graphic).
