Download it to a disk on your desktop, then send as an attachement.
I hold down the mouse until the box comes up to download to disk, etc.
I have a mac and have to do this on the DRF site, because sometimes my Internet Explorer crashes.
I am sure no computer expert LOL, but I hope this helps.

I think if you can get it on disk on your desktop, you can open it, copy and paste it on an email, but I am not sure.
Someone with more knowledge than myself needs to help you.
It can be done.
Jason Reed- if you read this, can you help?

I haven't done this in a long time, but as I recall...


1. Install "print to file" as a printer.

2. Print the document, selecting "print to file" as the printer.

Try Dave's idea. I just tried to copy, paste a race from DRF on Appleworks, then transfer it. It comes up if you "select all" then copy, but it is all scrambled up.
I don't know if other p.p.s are the same, they probably are.
They don't want you to share them, that's for sure.

I tried that-it didn't work. Printed out about 200+pages
of giberish. I think the PDF format is lost when you do this.
But Acrobat Reader is free, so the guy can just doenload it and print out the file if he wants to.
