When sending a PDF to an AOL client you need to send it using Windows (MIME/Base64) encoding instead of your default. It has something to do with AOL's firewall to prevent viruses on their servers. This is easy to do with most email programs. I use Entourage and Outlook Express and the procedure is the same. Below the Attachment window in your email there is a pop-up box that is normally set to "encode for any computer". Click on this box and select "Windows (MIME/Base64). Intuitive, no. Does it work? Let me know if it doesn't. -- C.
