PRIVACY FOR THIS JOB

Your document stays under your control

The email preset targets 10 MB locally, leaving comfortable room for mail encoding and message content without sending the attachment to YourPDFJob.

LIMITS TO KNOW

Check these before you start

  • Mail providers apply different total-message and attachment limits.
  • The 10 MB preset prioritizes readability over the smallest possible file.
  • Target mode creates image-based pages, so run OCR if searchable text is required.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Email a photo-heavy client report

Input
A 32 MB inspection report with annotated photos
Result
A readable attachment aimed at 10 MB, distinct from the stricter 5 MB portal preset.

QUESTIONS FOR THIS JOB

Practical answers

Why is the email preset 10 MB?

It is a conservative working budget rather than a universal provider limit. Email services and organizational gateways apply different rules, so check the sender and recipient limits.

Does YourPDFJob email the file for me?

No. It creates a smaller local download. You attach that file using your own email service.
