That's true enough, but Angela didn't say anything about wanting to 
send a pdf of that one page. If someone asked me for some info I 
happened to have in a long PDF, then I would - as you suggest - just 
email a screenshot of the page (as a jpg or png, which anyone should 
be able to handle), or extract the text and send that if images 
weren't essential. Just saying 'Reader can't do this' might have 
caused Angela to send the whole 115-page file, a silly waste of 
resources if it wasn't necessary. I know there are many posters here 
who don't realize the limitations of a free document reader and who 
need to have them explained, but it's not really helpful to ignore a 
solution which has a good chance of meeting the OP's requirements. I 
didn't mean to be rude.
