One ad agency however seems unable to open these files (everyone in the production department) and sees them as BinHex files. They've got Windows of course, but I though .pdf was set up to get around this.
Yes, PDF is completely cross platform compatible. You possibly have your email client set to compress attachments by default. Turn that off or set it to one of the more cross platform friendly compression modes. Windows can decompress BinHex files with a free version of Stuffit Expander but if you send the files uncompressed they shouldn't need it. Also make sure the files have the .pdf extension so that Windows users will correctly identify them.
If you do much of this, look into getting Acrobat as opposed to using the save as PDF in OS-X. While OS-X will create PDFs just fine, it isn't very efficient. The resulting files are much larger than what you can get with more careful attention to options in Acrobat.
