While these users take pride in these methods and we respect these ways, it may not work for everyone due to some technical differences and issues so we here at DeftPDF will show you that there are better ways to get a content placed in an email body.

While these users take pride in these methods and we respect these ways, it may not work for everyone due to some technical differences and issues so we here at DeftPDF will show you that there are better ways to get content placed in an email body.

adding PDF in email body

Solution one: Copy the whole document with Adobe

Copying content from a PDF doesn’t mean highlighting the characters, right-clicking, and selecting copy. This method is popular but may only copy the words and not the formatting. To ensure that everything can be copied, you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader to copy the whole document in a clipboard. Here’s how:

Step one: Open the PDF document using Adobe Acrobat

Step two: Click “Edit” in the menu tab then select “Copy File to Clipboard.”

Step three: Open your email, right-click on the email body, and select “paste” from the menu.

By using Adobe Acrobat, you are able to copy the whole document’s content and data including the formatting, even when it's pasted in the email body. You will notice how the content is copied as if a screenshot was taken and pasted. But take note that there may be some limitations to this method and may probably only copy content on a per-page basis. 

Solution two: Converting PDF to Image

With DeftPDF, you can convert PDF into an image file that is better suited for attaching and inserting content in the body of an email. With DeftPDF’s free tools, you can now convert any PDF into a JPEG file easily. Here’s how:
