Try compressing it before you attach it in Mail and compare your results...

Share a pdf from Pages via mail Hi. Up until Mac OS Ventura it was possible to create a pdf within pages using the sharing dialog which then opened a blank email that I was able to personalize and send off to someone. The new sharing dialog within Ventura doesn't give the option anymore. I can only send that .pages document. Does anyone know how I can get this feature back? I was using it all the time and now the only option that's left for me is create a short cut, that I don't know how to do or export as a pdf somewhere and copy paste it into an email. Seems kinda silly. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone out there tell me how to share a document created in Pages in PDF form so all can read it? I used to click the share button dropdown - email - PDF - and it would go to everyone. With the new 12.2 version that is not available. Hello? Can anyone out there tell me how to share a document created in Pages in PDF form so all can read it?

Exporting a document in Pages via PDF I followed the directions to export to PDF. When I share it, instead of a PDF link it basically pastes the document to my email. I need to actually have the link that the receiver can open. This happens sometimes but not always. How do I get it to just attach a PDF link?
