Hi Michelle, The bn cannot handle pdf files. Though it is possible to translate them using acrobat reader 6.0 or higher, this would require you using active-sync or some other medium to transfer the file to your PC, convert it, and transfer it back. *yawn* That takes to much time.
I would recommend sending attaching the file to the following email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't used this since I got my laptop, but we can pray that it's still up and running, right? It was much more reliable for me than the service provided by adobe itself, but you can always try that one if the first does not work. It is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember that since the file will be emailed back to you within the body of a message, the formatting most likely will not be correct. However, nine times out of ten this will not be crucial and you can always do some formatting on your own if it's necessary.
