Thanks Carlee,
That is what I do when the PDF is an attachment to the email. The problem I am having is I attach the PDFs to the email on my laptop, but when it comes in on my iPad it is not an attachment, but a part of the email. It comes in as a picture in the email on my iPad. I have sent 3 or 4 in an email, and 2 will come as attachments, and 2 will be pictures in the email on the iPad. Yet when I open the emails on my laptop they are all attachments. I can't quite figure it all out, but I am working on it.
Maybe I need to call Apple.
Maybe I need to take a quilting break, too!
Julie
