Attaching large pdf files to email

The age-old problem of attaching large PDF files to email!

There are a few ways to tackle this issue:

  1. Compress the PDF file: You can use a PDF compression tool like SmallPDF, PDFCompressor, or Adobe Acrobat to reduce the file size. This will help make the file smaller and easier to attach to an email.
  2. Use a cloud storage service: Instead of attaching the file to an email, you can upload it to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive. Then, share the link to the file with the recipient. This way, you don't have to worry about file size limits.
  3. Use a file-sharing service: Services like WeTransfer, File.io, or SendSpace allow you to send large files (up to 2GB or more) without attaching them to an email. You can upload the file and share the link with the recipient.
  4. Split the PDF file: If the file is extremely large, you can split it into smaller parts using a tool like PDF Split and Merge or Adobe Acrobat. Then, attach each part to a separate email or use a cloud storage service to share the files.
  5. Use a large file email service: Some email services, like MailBigFile or LargeFileEmail, allow you to send large files (up to 20GB or more) without attaching them to an email. You can upload the file and share the link with the recipient.
  6. Check with your email provider: Some email providers, like Gmail or Outlook, have file size limits for attachments. If you're consistently running into issues, you may want to check with your provider to see if they have any recommendations or workarounds.

Remember to always check with the recipient before sending a large file to ensure they can receive and open it without any issues.
