    I want to take a pdf file, put it in the main body of an e-mail (not an attachment), how is this done? Copy and Paste is NOT an option in Acrobat.
    Any help would be appreciated,

    Thanks,
    J.

    A PDF, if copied to clipboard and inserted in an e-mail message body, will (if it works) be accepted by the mail program as an embedded IMAGE, like a GIF, and will lose ALL of its PDF cahracteristics. It will be subject to the same reading/viewing glitches any image would be subject to, and you will lose the ability to search it, move through the pages of it, or use any of the other charcteristics of a PDF. There will be no live links in it. It will behave like a screen capture of a page of a document. PDFs are intended to be sent as ATTACHED files.

    Good call WW, that's what I have always done or if I remember correctly you can email it directly from Acrobat Reader. :)
