Anyone know if it's possible to embed an Acrobat document inside an email --
ie, NOT having to select it as a separate attachment?

To view the PDF file as if it was HTML, within Outlook and/or IE (Hotmail).

Thanks!

There isn't an email standard that allows PDF as the message body, so
no. Adobe has a viewer control for reading PDF documents within a
browser, but for most purposes the PDF format is too bulky for general
email use.

With that in mind, you might be able to come up with a template, but you would be stuck using a static document within the viewer portion of the HTML message. Plus, you'd have to be pretty confident that everyone receiving it would have the Adobe software installed on their end.
