Does your ISP have an "attachment size limit"? If so, that is probably most likely the culprit. To test that theory, just make a large file (use Word or compress a bunch of images into a .sit archive) and try to send that to yourself. See if you get the same error. Additionally, as I make PDFs all the time, it is possible that the file is corrupt in some way that you can't visually recognize. If you generated it from MS Word, be very careful because Word and PDF Writer do not speak well to each other. Every time you print a Word file to PDF Writer, the filename in the next dialog box after choosing Print will contain one of the MS Word menu items as the pre-entered file name. Occassionally, I accidentally click OK before I change the name (because it is _supposed_ to use the filename as a starter). I find that I experience errors in these PDF files at a higher "incidence rate" than with other PDF files (i.e., ones that I did not accidentally accept with the bad file name.) Even if you rename the file in the Finder, the corruption persists in the file once saved with that bogus name. Be sure to properly name (manually) saved PDF files from Word, and remove any symbol characters (#,+,&, etc.) and use only letters and underscore (_). I have written to Adobe, but they claim the 'bug' is in Office 2001 (it does also happen in Excel, but I don't usually make PDFs from there, so I've not really been annoyed by it.) Also, if you force acceptance of the PDF generation, even though you are warned that the margins are being exceeded, then you may have a corrupt PDF as well. Use Page Setup for the PDF Writer to change the page dimensions.
