Have you ever wondered that what is the best and fastest way to mail all your PDF files via a Mac computer? Sometimes it can be hard to do anything on your computer, especially if you're not a really tech savvy person. I highly recommend you to pay full attention to the article and learn a few time saving ways to send PDFs on Mac. Here we are going to give you two different methods to Email PDF on Mac (including large PDF files), depending on the size of the PDF you'd like to send from your Mac (10.15 Catalina included).
Part 1. How to Email PDF on Mac (10.15 Catalina included)
All email providers limit the maximum size the attached file can have. If your PDF file is more than 50 MB (some email providers have a limitation that goes as low as 30 MB!), then you will need to edit the PDF file and cut it down to 2 different parts. Unless you're really tech savvy and really know what you are doing, it is going to be very hard and time consuming for you to do so without hurting the format and text contained in the original PDF file.
In this case, we will recommend you to try the second method. It involves using a tiny software tool called PDFelement Pro which can not only let you directly email PDF, but also can compress PDF for email, or split a large PDF on Mac. With a few mouse clicks, you'll be able to mail large PDF files (that email providers cannot handle) to all your co-workers, without going through the hassle of editing the PDF file multiple times!
Option 1. Directly Email Your PDF
Open the program and click the "Open File" button to import the target PDF. Then you can make changes on your document if necessary. To send the file via email, you can go to the top toolbar and hitt on the "File" button then choose the option "Attach to Email".
Option 2. Compress PDF for Email
PDF too large to email? You can compress PDF for a smaller size before mailing it. To do this, go to "File > Optimize PDF" to access the compression options. Then choose a file size you like. After compression, you can proceed to email it.
Option 3. Split PDF to Multiple File for Mailing
You can also split a large PDF into separate files and then email the document one by one. To do this, go to "Page" > "Split", choose to split PDF by number of pages and then click "Split" and select a destination to save the split PDF files.

Part 2. How to Directly Send PDF via Email
Firstly, you should have your PDF coming in handy. What I suggest you to do is to save the .pdf extension file you'd like to mail on the desktop of your Mac so that it is easy to find. Or just make sure you know exactly where it is located! The reason why it is important is that when mailing your PDF file, you are going to need to indicate the exact location of the file.
- Step 1. Involves possessing an email account. You can use whatever email provider you are used to (the most popular are Hotmail.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, aol.com, etc).
- Step 2. After you log into your account, click on the "New Message" button to create a new message.
- Step 3. Then, click on the "Add an attachment" (note: the button functions are the same in every email provider, but their name varies from provider to provider. Just look for 'em, they are definitely there!).
- Step 4. You'll quickly find the PDF you want to email on your desktop (or any other locationyou've saved your file). After you have successfully located the file and clicked the "Confirm" button, you'll have to wait a few seconds for your Mac to upload the document. You then simply send your email!
