How to Send PDF Files Via Gmail (6 Steps)
By Brendan O'Brien
Gmail is a free Web-based email service provided by Google. The service allows you to send attachments such as a PDF to recipients. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to send files that are more than 25 MB.
Step 1
Save the PDF on your desktop since that is the easiest place to find files and folders.
Step 2
Open a browser and log in to your Gmail account.
Step 3
Hit the "Compose Mail" link under the Gmail logo on the left side of the Web page.
Step 4
Click on the "Attach a file" link under the "Subject" field. The link has a paperclip icon next to it.
Step 5
Browse for the PDF that you saved on your desktop in Step 1. Click the "Select" or "Open" button in the lower right corner of the dialog box.
Step 6
Compose your email and click the "Send" button in the left corner of the window.
