If you make a CD using the built-in Windows burning ability and check the box to 'make readable on all computers', or if you make a RecordNow Data Disc on CD or DVD and finalize it, it should not be a prosblem.

DO NOT FORMAT the disc. It won't be compatible - in fact, it's not even a safe way to archive data.

Email the PDF file to your friend

It's much simpler, cheaper, quicker, and foolproof.

Understood Patricia,

That can be a bit much for a mailbox if you don't use a filehosting site like Rapidshare - even moreso if you only have dialup.

This all takes into account that the Mac has Adobe Reader on it.
