Still Confused

I just purchased a HP Laserjet printer, and I have a new Compac computer.
I have Adobe 6. How do Companies send E DOC'S to me? thru my Yahoo
mailbox (100megabytes)?, and how do I get them into Adobe?

Companies can send you edocs in various formats.
If they send them to you in PDF format, once you click on the pdf file it will automatically open in Adobe if you have Adobe installed.

Some will send them in other formats, in which case they will give you a link to download the correct software to view and print the docs.

I will have internet cable installed on Monday so I can download edocs faster. I'm concerned about my email holding the edocs. My mailbox holds only 10 MB. Is that sufficient? If not, any suggestions?

Thanks.

10Mb will hold most edocs. However, you must clean your box out frequently to ensure that the max amount of space is available.

Be cautioned though, that 10Mb may not be enough to hold some large PDF files of scanned images. I once received a single PDF file that was 22Mb compressed!. It was a very large package and all the documents were scanned as images in high resolution. Yuck!!

Also, make sure you don't have a limit on a per email basis. A lot of places only allow 2Mb emails. That would be a killer for edocs.

Yahoo has expanded their free mailboxes to 100Mb with 10Mb per email. MSN (hotmail) will be following suit very soon.

Thank you for responding so promptly. I'll check out Yahoo now. I'm trying to cover all basis and be proactive. I hate things messing up.
