To email a document, it is best to convert the document to a PDF format. This will generally reduce the overall file size of the document and will make sure there are no compatibility issues with our systems. NOTE: most ISPs have a maximum size limit to what can be sent and retrieved through email. Check with your ISP before trying to send anything over 5 MB in size.

As for bringing in a document, you should still convert the document to PDF format and then either burn it to a CD or store it on a disk. NOTE: refer to your CD Burning software manual or online help for tips on burning a CD.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a good way to keep all your margins, formatting, fonts, and graphics intact. PDF files are compact and are cross platform compatible (can be read on both Windows® PCs and Macintosh® computers).

Windows® users: you must purchase a version of Adobe® Acrobat from Adobe Systems Inc. to create PDF documents.

Mac OS X users: Open the document you want to turn into a PDF and select Print. When the Print dialog box pops up, click "Save as PDF," name the file, and hit "OK." You're done.
