Hello:

I would like to eMail a rather large PDF file someone to take
advantage of their printing facilities, but my ISP server does not
permit files larger than 8 MB to be transferred.

I presently do not have a CD/DVD burner setup. 

Is there any way to convert a 32MB Acobat Reader 6.0 file into smaller
segments so that it can be eMailed ?

Thanks.

Regards,
~Vince~

Vince,

Have you tried maximum compression into a ZIP file?

Use winrar or winzip to span it into smaller file segments that they can 
recombine at the other end.

I would highly recommend segments smaller than 2MB for email purposes.  
Some relay's will drop anything over their 2 MB attachment limit.

Or you would need Acrobat to split the PDF itself.

Eljon:

Thanks for your input.   

To be honest, I want to eMail the PDF file to myself at my Yahoo.com
account, and then access the attachment at the local Public Library,
for printing out the Op Manual for my new DELL computer.  I need a
reference hardcopy of the 154 page document while I work on the
computer hardware. 

I would not have access to WINZIP (or WINRAR, which I know nothing
about) at the library.

You may want to email yourself a link to where it's hosted on a website.
This will bypass all attachment limits.

Oterwise, you will need acrobat to split it into smaller PDF sections.
