The Mac computer, made by Apple, comes with an email program that lets you compose, send, receive and organize your messages. On occasion, you may want to send a PDF in an email. It takes a few minutes to accomplish this extremely easy task.

Open your "Mail" program on your Mac. Click the "Mail" icon on your tray, on your desktop or in your applications folder on the hard drive.

Click the "New" button on the top of the main Mail page. In the "To" and "Cc" file, type the email recipient or recipients that you would like to receive the PDF. Type the topic of your message in the "Subject" field. Write your message in the message body.

Click the "Attach" button on the top of the email. Browse for the PDF file that you want to send. When you find the PDF, click it, then click the "Choose File" button.
