The recipients do not have access to your computer.

Megan,

You will need to put the pdf file on a server, i.e., a website or a server 
location. If you don't have a website you may be able to create a location 
on a server by creating a "personal website" using your e-mail account.  You 
won't actually need a website but you will need a location on the server 
associated with your email account.  Chat with your ISP folks on how to set 
it up.

Here is a sample link to the file, Story_of_the_Peanut.pdf:

http://www.iinet.com/~osia1294/downloads/Story_of_the_Peanut.pdf

I use this method to provide a monthly report to family members.  It can be 
password protected if wanted.
