Thanks mikie! I went to the search page and didn't take long to get a headache. I think this is going to be way out of my realm. First I changed a Word document into a pdf file and now I gotta embed it back into a html page. When I add the file to an html page, all I get is the page with my background scheme showing. Somehow, this was not what I had in mind. I know it's possible because I see it every day, but I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.Thanks again! Ida

I'm no expert but most of the newer versions of graphic software can convert any document you create into a pdf file. I guess you can consider them flat when you receive them, unless you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just Acrobat Reader). With Acrobat you can open up, break apart and rework the file. I've heard that depending on the changes you need to make some of the larger graphic programs let you edit out some components (I think I heard that Illustrator lets you edit text line by line). The biggest misconception I've encountered is that if you are building a document to be printed or published you will need to make sure the printing press runs the same level and version of Acrobat that you have. If you are using a lower version of the program and they are using a newer and higher level of program, certain things won't translate well and your printing job will require more effort to make it work. They like to refer to pdf's as the most portable format for documents but presses still struggle with them.

Teresa, I think what you need is a file sharing/backup web site. Check out the link below. I haven't tried it, but apparently, you type in the email addresses of the people to whom you want to send the file. The the it walks you through uploading the actual file(s) it onto the web. Then the recipients will get an email with a link in it, and they click the link to download the file. Another one I read about that sounds good (as they SAY it does not reuqire you to install any software to use it, is http://www.box.net/individual Here is a link that might be useful: You send it

Unfortunately you cannot post a pdf image - you have to convert it to an image format first. Try using this free online tool to convert it to JPEG format, then you can upload it to your photobucket album and link to it from Gardenweb. Neevia free online PDF image converter
