Emailing File To A Group

I publish an e-newsletter using MS Publisher to a group of like hobbyists.  I use to have Adobe pdf. converter until I had Win 7 installed and lost it - that's another story.  Our club generates it's money via dues so purchases have to be very conservative.  The cost for Export pdf at $20 annually instead of anything else at $80+ was the ticket!  Reading the synopsis for the Export pdf didn't tell me much (what you can do, how to do, and what you can't do) so I went ahead and made the purchase.  Came time to use the program(yesterday) and I don't think this is going to work for me.  So, let me ask the community if this program can do what I need it to do; which is, I need to email the newsletter file to a group of people under a group name which is in my account with gmail?  How do I know the program is going to accept the file? It's a big file with lots of pictures.

ExportPDF cannot do much more than converting PDF docs to Word, Excel, and a few other file types.  Nothing to do with sending out mail.

If I had to send a PDF (or other doc) to a group of people I would

  1. upload the file to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files (if it's not larger than 100 MB)
  2. use Send | anonymous link, and create a link to the file; copy it
  3. use your standard email software to prepare the message, and include the copied download link in it

All 100% free; I use it almost every day.

Another option is Adobe Send, which will do much of the above automatically.  I believe there is also no 100 MB limit.  But it's not free.

?Ms Willener

I have purchased Adobe Send but when I saw it I was perplexed - I need to use gmail because that's were all my groups are at. Can you tell me specifically how to use Send Now or is there a tutorial I can watch that will give me good, understandable instructions?

Thanks

Lee ?

I had a member of the group reply back to me to tell me the file was still in .pub and not .pdf.  I looked at the file as the attachment and the extension surely was .pub. At the Adobe Send page I check anonymous link>click on add file>click on create link.  After a couple minute waiting for the download or whatever it is, it goes to another page where I copy the URL to past to the email.  Did I tell you that I need it as a .pdf file? I thought Adobe Send would do that.

Adobe Send doesn't change/modify/convert the files you are sending.
